Music you Hated but now Love

Zimwig, Thanks!!!! I have been searching for a particular Greg Brown song for years after hearing it just once on the radio. Found it on the Red House site. "'Cept You and Me, Babe" on Covenant. 

I always liked Phish's "Bouncing Round the Room", so there!

Joan Osborn. Can't say I hated "One of Us"; but I thought she was just another Alanis Morrisette clone. Then I picked up Relish at one of those swap things where you bring your mistakes and take those of others. LOVE IT!

I'm gonna start a new thread for songs we've heard once and couldn't find for years.

Tom Waits was an artist I just didn't "get" until I did. His voice was definitely an acquired taste and I misunderstood his lyrics, thinking they were an inside joke I wasn't getting.

Now I have done a complete 180. What an incredible artist and body of work. 

I am more of a classical and prog-rock guy but Let me add the whole genre: until I upgraded my stereo from BestBuy style to all-NaimAudio rig I was always puzzled whats the fuss about Jazz. Not any more, I still prefer Third Stream (ECM label and such) to Miles and Bird but at least now I cannot say that i "hate it". The learning curve is there, and going thru "jazz for aficionados" is on my To-Do list...

Greg Brown's Covenant was delivered today. " 'Cept you & Me Babe" is better than I remembered. It will take me a while to see if I like the rest of the CD, though.
