What groups did you loathe growing up, but love now? or vice versa

yeah i mean stuff like that is just par for the course. who i liked when i was 8, i can't be held accountable for now.

mr roboto was like the 'star wars' of songs for an 8 yr old.

Hated ACDC as a kid but love the Bon Scott stuff now

I loved the RHCP's first two albums in high school... it was gradual, but over the past 20 years my feelings have gone from "no longer into them" to "absolutely cant stand them"

I also hated Springsteen in HS, but when I got to college and was turned on to his 70's stuff... absolutely loved it.

Probably my two extreme examples...

When I was younger, I hoped that Journey, Forigner, Boston, Styx, and Rush would die. Now that I have gotten older and learned cooler slogans and sayings on the interweb, I now hope the aforementioned bands die in a fire.

A very slow fire, after they have been diagnosed with AIDS

Being a sad southern boy, I didn't like any "black" music, but I've learned better.

While in high school I tried to shake and rebel against all my dads favorites... Abb the dead ccr etc and listened to taking back Sunday and the like by about senior year I realized father really did know best

We went similar paths here. Was my senior year of Highschool when I really started to listen what I enjoy now. I always respected older music, actually always loved Hendrix. Hell, there are videos of me when i was 3 with a plastic guitar and I'd pretend I'm playing Voodoo Child. I'll admit I would play along to stuff like Billy Ray Cyrus as well, but that's besides the point. He had a great mullet, sorry.

I really grew fond of artists like Ray Lamontagne, Amos Lee, Mayer, stuff like that, and I still love these artists. From there it opened me up to who they were influenced by. From ABB to SRV, from Muddy Waters, to Otis Redding. I went to all of their roots.

So I can say, I never disliked it all, but over time blues oriented music has become my main music of choice. Listening to ABB Live at the Fillmore would probably never happen to CocoLoco at age 14, but at 22, it is as enjoyable as anything to me.

I loved Jimmy Buffett in Middle School.

Not so much anymore.

there was a time that i thought lacuna coil was good. saw them open up for type o negative. they were pretty good. i realize now that there was a genre of music that i liked and lacuna coil was the closest to that genre that i had contact to. now that i have expanded and found more bands, i really cant listen to them anymore. even their hits are unbearable to listen to.

As a young child, I'm sure too many that I dislike now that I used to like (Kris Kross comes to mind).

On the flip side, my mother used to always play Moody Blues, and I absolutely hated it. Now I quite enjoy their music.

i got stupid lucky and met up with some good friends when i changed schools at 9 years old and these guys were all listening to metallica. i listened once and never turned back. i knew it was all metal for me.
