Albums that You Originally Didn't Like

[Guest Wrestlekid]

Yeah, I never particularly cared for Bush at all, but I just picked up 16 Stone while burning an early 90's CD, and can't stop playing it. Awesome CD with the likes of my personal favorite "Glycerine", "Comedown", and "Everything Zen". Anyways, are there any albums that you didn't like at first, but grew on you?

[Guest TheTokenWhiteGuy]

Simon and Garfunkle greatest hits , seriously.

Plastic Surgery Disasters by the Dead Kennedys

I am addicted to this record, but before loathed the Dead Kennedys in general.

[Guest TheMysteryMan]

not really albums, but a song that i didn't like was Stacey's Mom but it soon grew on me

[tristy]

The Mars Volta's De-Loused In The Comatorium

Opeth's Damnation

The Doors' Strange Days

[VerbalPuke]

I am addicted to this record, but before loathed the Dead Kennedys in general.

Same here, something about Jello I didn't like before. Of course now, I love the band. They are one of my all time favorites.

Condemned 84 - The Boots Go Marching In

Crass - Best Before 1984

Descendents - Milo Goes to College

Battalion of Saints A.D. - Cuts

[A-Dub]

Baby Bash- "Tha Smokin' Nephew" now that I listen to it, it really is a great CD.

[Blehschmidt]

Guns 'n' Roses - The Spaghetti Incident

Hated all but one song, until I listened to it a couple times.

Not up to par with there other stuff, but still decent.

[Guest Deputy Van Halen]

"Rock The Plank" by the Mad Caddies. I heard one song and thought it was great and bought the CD, which I fucking hated. But it's really grown on me now, and it's one of my favourites.

[Guest Angry Baboon]

Beck- "Mellowgold"

[David Hassellhoff]

Rage Against the Machine-Battle of Los Angeles

I bought the album when I was 12.

[TheArsenal]

Turin Brakes lastest album.

[Gabriel]

Cradle of Filth's Damnation and a Day wasn't what I expected, and I immediately dismissed it as a bad album, but upon further research into it (reading of the lyrics) and actually listening to it more, it has really grown on me as one of Cradle's better works.

I can't stand the Darkness, but eerily, they're growing on me... every time I don't change the channel during one of their songs, I feel dirty, but I can't seem to get myself to actually change the channel.

[Drezdon]

Pearl Jam - Ten

I swear i just sat there getting dusty, whilst Nirvana became my new favorite band, taking over from Metallica, but when all the grunge era died, i found it in a drawer, put it on, and now i listen to all at least 4 times a month.

[Pepsi]

Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals

[Skummy]

Thea Gilmore - Songs From The Gutter.

Fantasticness.

[GoGo Yubari]

Gorillaz' self-titled debut album, the White Stripes' "White Blood Cells", and Blur's "Think Tank."

[Kaney]

The Darkness album. Still don't like them, but I can stand a few of their songs.

[grind your soul]

Poison the Well - Tear From the Red

Poison the Well - You Come Before You

As I Lay Dying - Frail Words Collapse

Lamb of God - New American Gospel

Black Dahlia Murder - Unhallowed

Most Precious Blood - Nothing in Vain

silverchair - Neon Ballroom

Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

Nirvana - Nevermind

Crass - Best Before 1984

Descendents - Milo Goes to College

Yeah, when I first heard the Dead Kennedys I thought they were wannabe's of the Sex Pistols. Little did I know...

Oh, and I am the opposite concerning Crass and Descendents. Loved both bands on first listen.

Another record I hated, but I believe is one hell of a record is Energy by Operation Ivy. I listened to Officer by them and hated it. Now 4 months later I am loving Operation. They rank up their with The Specials as top ska or ska influenced bands of all time.

[Turbo Yannis]

Infiltarte.Destroy.Rebuild by CKY

I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get into this album. But, now, it's up there in my greatest ever list.

[Guest 12characters]

I know what you mean about that Bush album. I was lukewarm on it at first but it grew on me.

Primitive by Soulfly is very notable. I despised it. I loathed it, but after a few repeat listenings I consider it a good album.

[Bushmeister]

Poison the Well - Tear From the Red

Poison the Well - You Come Before You

Lamb of God - New American Gospel

Same with me. I got the Lamb Of God album after hearing the song 11th Hour on the Freddy vs Jason soundtrack, and it took me quite a while to get accustomed to. I got into liking Poison The Well only recently, and now I think they're one of the most brilliant bands ever.

Some others I have found hard getting into at first was/still is Meshuggah. I got their Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere CD's, and whee boy was it chaotic. After a while, tho, it really grows onto you. Chaosphere is one of my favourite albums ever... Another shock came later with their remix-CD True Human Design Now THAT is some weird freaking shit.

[R.W.]

The Divine Comedy's "A Short Album About Love". I thought it was pretty bland at first, but after a few listens, it becomes more majestic and grandiose.

[Colly]

Lost Souls by Doves. Took so many listens to get into it, but once you're there, you don't want to leave.
