Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To

@grislybutter: RAM is my favorite of McCartney’s early albums, though I also like his s/t solo debut. I have never heard anything post-Band On The Run, so my opinion is of questionable value. I did get the Wings Wild Life album when it was released, but didn’t think much of it and didn’t keep it. YouTube video maker (and Beatle fanatic) Norman Maslov ("Mazzy") has been raving about the album, so I recently found myself a used copy cheap to try again.

I realize I’m very alone in this, but John Lennon is the only Beatle whose solo albums I own none of. Sorry, I just don’t care for him on his own (or with Yoko, of course ).

My favorite post-Beatle work of any of them are The Traveling Wilbury albums.

I have very low opinion of the John Lennon post Beatles body of work, compared with Paul and George's. (I have nothing against John, I just don't get most of his albums.)

Band On The Run is kind of a mess but a beautiful mess. I just bought the album. I also heard London Town about 6000 times in the 80s so I can't really listen to it again. 

Wings is much like Paul McCartney, one album great, next one is forgettable, next one is on the way to great again, and next one is brilliant.

I like the Travelling Wilburys too, but my #1 is probably All Things Must Pass.

Can’t really think of one example of a song that took me multiple exposures to develop an attraction to. With me it works kind of in reverse. On some occasions if I’m overexposed (in my estimation) to music I previously found acceptable it can become quite offensive.

That Boston album is a great example...you could say it's more than a feeling.

re Van Morrison/Blowin Your Mind - the re-release is fantastic

A different post in this forum ('music') made me think of a couple:

right after I read the review in Stereophile of Steve Earle's '97 releases, Train A Coming and I Feel Alright, I went out and bought them.  It actually took me a while to start liking them, but after I did, I couldn't get enough of them.
