Are there any bands or artists that you didn't really like originally but became a fan of?

Did your opinion of them change over time?

Favorite Answer

Apparently when I was a baby Black Flag used to make me cry, so I take it I wasn't a fan, but they're my favorite band now. I didn't like Mumford & Sons when I first heard them, because the people I knew that did like them only listened to pretentious underground bands, and I didn't really want my taste to be associated with theirs. Then I got over it and realized that I do like Mumford & Sons, even if a large portion of their fan base is comprised of hipsters. I didn't like Nirvana when I was little because I couldn't understand anything that Cobain was singing, then I got into them when I was like twelve because it made me feel cool, a now I'm pretty much just indifferent to them.

I used to hate Oasis the first time I listened to them. Too loud, too much distortion (in their early stuff) and I couldn't stand Liam Gallagher's obnoxious and out-of-tune vocals. I gave them a little time though after hearing so much about them and they grew on me and eventually became my favourite band of all time! :)

Some others off the top of my head would be Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Killing Joke and Linkin Park

Abney Park. I used to absolutely hate their music. I heard one of their songs called "The Box" and really liked it, so I decided to look up more songs on youtube. They have quite a few songs that I still despise, but I found even more that I really love.
Also, I hated Jonathan Coulton for a very short while. I kept getting his songs on Pandora, and I was annoyed by his voice. But he has some songs that are funny and relate to my nerdy interests, so I started listening to his stuff more

YES. They become my favorites in fact!
Marina and The Diamonds is a huge one. I hated her music 3 years ago but now I realize she's a flipping genius

And also, my other favorite--The Ready Set<3 Love that boy.

And then also I guess MIKA.
