Songs that you did dislike

What songs did you absolutely dislike when you first heard it, or the first fewwwww times, and than it grew on you and you can't get enough of it?

For me the latest one that I can think of right now is "Underneath It All" by Steve Vai.

It would have been any Chris Isaak tunes.... Never been a fan of his music, but recently got a good listen to some of his material. He's actually a pretty good writer/singer! Bet that's not the kind of music you had in mind though....

Actually not true! I'm talking about any music, ANYTHING! I am a fan of all types of music, I even like Hip\Hop!

^^^^ I can appreciate that too.... well, all but the Hip Hop/Rap kinda tunes. It's one form of music I just don't understand. Just something about all the sampling they seem to do that turns me off. Now if they actually hired musicians to perform the musical arrangements I might be more receptive. I can certainly appreciate their vocals and lyrical writing, but that's just my take....

I do believe they hire drummers and guitar players at times. There are alot of those songs where you can here a guitar. Unless it comes from a keyboard! And Bass.

Love Shack by the B-52's

I hate that song yet am compelled to listen to it when it comes on...

I hate everything about that group and their music...especially that song. Terrible guitar playing, terrible vocals, terrible lyrics, crappy video. I can't explain it. I still hate the song but for some reason when it comes on the radio or television I'm like a zombie drawn to brains....

Bluegrass music in general.

When I first heard my first bluegrass tune, maybe 20 years ago, I though it was just another style of country music schlock. I heard Alison Krauss and Union Station on PBS about 5 years ago and I was impressed by their musicianship and songwriting. I've heard a bunch more bluegrass artists since then. Most can flat out "shred" on their traditional instruments.

Check out The Tony Rice Unit (probably from 15 -20 years ago - check out the baby face and 1980s glasses on Jerry Douglas who is about 50 now).

Now wait a second I didn't say anything about them being ugly. I would absolutely bang either one!!

I just wouldn't let them sing while I was doing it...

Anything by AC/DC. I used to hate them but now I really dig their stuff.
Same goes for Prince and most R&B.
And IMO rap gets put down too much because of the sampling and the lack of melodic lyrics. I used to HATE IT back when I was in high school, but I see it now as a real art form. I can actually relate a lot to some of the things rap artists rap about. But like anything, there's good and bad acts.
And some, like Kanye, have GREAT music but I don't really like their "rap".

Talking Heads when they first came out. Just didn't do it for me at all, but I ended up buying the back catalogue a couple of years back. What was I thinking (drinking?) at the time?
