Albums that Have Grown on you.

[OPBASSMAN1994]

You know, those ones that you don't care too much for at first, but later, as you relisten to it, you realize it's actually really good. you just didn't 'get it' at first.

For me:

Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three


You guys?

Animals by Pink Floyd

[MrLenny1]

Light as A Feather - Chick Corea
It took almost 2 years to click and then...
Hey, I was a rock guy.

"Hot Rats" - Frank Zappa

Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Pictures at an Exhibition" Took a while to grow on me.
It's a great piece of work.

I found it helped to become familiar with Mussorgsky's work.

Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? by Of Montreal. It first struck me as too disco-ish, but after giving a good listen to the infectious basslines that permeate the album, I was hooked. Now I drive my wife nuts playing the line for "Gronlandic Edit" over and over.

Almost all of my favourite albums took awhile to grow on me

Deloused in comatorium- The mars Volta (got nervous of the music the first 5 times i listened to it )
Lateralus - Tool, found it boring the first few times i played it...
All albums of radiohead (found nothing appealing to them, but somehow i kept playing them)

Meddle - Pink Floyd

Probably because I was in high school when it was released. Mostly listened to Sabbath, Deep Purple, Zep in their earlier years.

Father and Sons - Muddy Waters, I had not listened to it for 25 years, put it on the turn table last month and haven't taken it off since.

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

I am not a metal or rap guy. Not too much into alternative either. This CD won me over . . . at least to Linkin Park's interpretation.

[stratovani]

Rush - Test For Echo. Generally described by music mags as one of their most subpar efforts, it grows on you after repeated listening. Nowadays I think it's as good as anything they've put out, at least since Moving Pictures.

[Sonicfrog]

Triage - David Baerwald.

It is a fierce bit of political / social commentary. So dark. That turned me off at first, especially since it was so much darker than the last album he did "Bedtime Stories". Yet, once it got under my skin.... Incredible!

I'm thinking i wasn't that fond of Stings "The Soul Cages" at first, but opened up to it once I found out it's about his father, who had just passed away. The same for the Finn Brothers "Everyone Is Here" which has numerous songs about their mom passing away. "Gentle Hum", the last song on the album, became a marker for my own dad's passing.
