Music you Hated but now Love

let me counter-balance the other thread: is there any music you totally hated but now Love?
my story: Gong, Magma, Robert Wyatt: I could not understand how my little brother could listen to this garbage, but now, 30 years later, these are in constant rotation on my LP12...
(((Please use another thread for Classical music, actually, Please, someone, start such thread for Classical!)))

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...

Give Greg Brown's wife a try now. Iris Dement is very special. Her first three albums are more Country than later ones, in which she has gone back to her Gospel roots.

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.

Bdp24 thanks. Know Iris well, since I am a John Prine nut.  She often duets with him. Her voice is an acquired taste, very talented song writer.
