Music you didn't like at first... but now?

This happens all the time but I distinctly remember the first time. It was Bruce Springsteen's, The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. I was stationed in Thailand and bought this album. We would sit around the barracks/hut listening to music on those big Sansui or Pioneer speakers. I remember how this album was panned by my buddies and I agreed until I heard it for the maybe the tenth time or so. It blew me away once I got into it. I can still listen to Wild Billy's Circus Story and smile.

C&W. Then I moved to Nashville.

And I started to think, you know, Alan Jackson's not so bad. Tim McGraw's pretty good. Then I discovered Martina McBride. Whoa baby. Fell into, then out of, love with the Dixie Chicks. Then one day I found myself singing along, in my car, at the top of my lungs to Toby Keith's "Whiskey For My Men and Beer For My Horses". I just had to laugh.

For you Jennifer Warnes fans, listen to her lastest release: The Well. It is superior to The Hunter in every aspect.

Didn't know Warrens had a new album out - thanks, will do. Always liked Famous Blue Raincoat for a few of the songs by Lenord Cohen

Anything by Weird Al Yankovic - as long as it's on SACD.
