Bands you use to hate, but now like!

[King Richard]

Dream Theater I know! It's hard to believe.

 

[The Ozzman]

I ordered a couple of their albums. Expecting greatness.

I hope Can't Buy A Thrill was one of them

 

[DarkBliss]

I hope Can't Buy A Thrill was one of them

Hmm, let me recall, nope.
Pretzel Logic, The Royal Scam, Aja and Countdown to Ecstasy.

I'll probably grab the debut too as soon as those four albums arrive.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Opeth

Used to just be like, whats the fuss, now I really like them

 

[Mort Divine]

Slater

 

[Faint]

Burzum. Thought alot of black metal was awful at first.

 

[TheBahggs]

Used to fucking loathe these bands, but this now basically my top 5 faves:

Job for a Cowboy
Death
Mayhem
Judas Priest
Amorphis

 

[DarkBliss]

Slater

Yea, Slater is a damn tough coconut to crack. Slayer is an even tougher one.

 

[Mort Divine]

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

JACK SLATER! Great band

 

[Jreg]

Venom. They were among the first handful of bands I heard when I started getting into extreme metal 11-12 years ago along with Celtic Frost, Carcass, Morbid Angel, Death and one or two others, and they were the only one who did absolutely nothing for me. I had no problem appreciating them as influential, but I think they might just not have been what I was expecting or something. Dunno if it was the mediocre production, the barely competent musicianship or the fact that they just sounded kind of...goofy. In any case, I've had a copy of "Black Metal" lying around for years. I threw it on one day within the last year and something just clicked to the point that I was like, "hey, this is actually pretty cool." And it only took about a decade.

 

[Zephyrus]

Can't think of any.

 

[sevag00]

Dark Funeral
Behemoth
Ragnarok
Judas Iscariot
Myrkskog
Mayhem

 

[The Ozzman]

I just realized that this is the third incarnation of this thread.

EDIT: Nevermind, mine was 'Bands you hate that most people like'

Bloodbath (though I still hate NMF)
Mercyful Fate (mainly due to King Diamond's vox, but now I dig his vox)
NIN

 

[Lord Kur]

marduk.

i think it was because i started out with the newer stuff.

i love all the older stuff and once i got hooked on all that i started liking the newer albums, too.

the older albums remind me of old school thrash

 

[rms]

Yea, Slater is a damn tough coconut to crack. Slayer is an even tougher one.

if that was a shirt id buy it right now.

 

[DarkBliss]

 

[black blood]

Death. This is mainly because I first heard later era Death,but Scream Bloody Gore turned me around.

 

[tagradh]

Only thing I can think of is Elliott Smith.

 

[Kristopher]

Iron Maiden-Used to think of them as rather overrated,but I peservered with them and realised my inital opinion was very very wrong.
Bloodbath-Supergroup but never properley appreciated them at first mainly because I have never been a person who has been into pure Death Metal(Meloic Death is more my thing) but I realised I was rather foolish upon further listening


Can't think of any more for now,I'll tell you what I would have an almost endless list if it was the other round and it was bands I used to love but I now hate!
