    I wonder how long this band took to grow.

    Kings of Leon. I downloaded Because of the Times when I heard they were opening for Pearl Jam in Nijmegen. Didn't really like it so I took it of the computer.
    I thought they really rocked in Nijmegen so I gave the album a second chance. Now I love it.

    Primus, Foo Fighters, Guns 'N Roses, and Pearl Jam took me a long time to appreciate. Now I love/worship those bands and appreciate what they can do with their talents.

    When I first heard Alice in Chains, I instantly loved them. Weird huh?

    Gunners, just didn'tike em for some reason, but like ved in teh head, they have slowly grown to be one of my favoutite bands. Slash is agtreat, and Axl's voice is better than good. Good is easy, entertaining is hard.

    Lots of albums grew on me slowly, more often than not. I had LOTL for years before I really liked it, also GArage Inc by Metallica, suddenly it clicked.

    I'm very thick like that.
    Music is not a competetion.

    Smashing Pumpkins. Never even thought to buy anything buy them. Was even in a band back in the mid 90's that played "Hummer". The the quality of music went down hill, so I started going back and searching for bands to listen to. That's when they came around.

    still struggling to dig pink floyd! I’ve got dark side of the moon which I’ve listened to a couple of times and liked it (especially "time"), but strangely enough I never feel like revisiting that album, or buying any of their other material. just other bands that I find more appealing I guess

    Mother Love Bone.

    Like most of you, I've only heard them thru PJ, Jeff & Stone connection & Temple of the Dog project.

    But I've only heard Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorn from the Singles sdtrk.

    I've DLed some of their songs (shhh) & I like a lot of the songs.

    Holy Roller, Stargazer, This is Shangri-la, Stardog Champion, Come Bite The Apple...

    My fav. so far is Gentle Groove.

    Andy wrote some awesome love songs.

    though, I dont really know what the songs/lyrics are about.
    reminds me of Soul Coughing & Mike Doughty's lyrics.

    the newest band for me that took a long time to get into is the White Stripes

    I would hear their songs every now and then and not think much of them. I've always like Dead Leaves... for some reason, but not much else. Then I went and bought Elephant on a whim a couple of weeks ago and now that CD has moved into one of my most played and I'm ready to start building my White Stripes collection even more....

    Took me about 19 years to get into The Jam .

    Never really appreciated them during their career 1977-1982 ; then in 1996 Paul Weller released "Stanley Road" , still one of my favourite albums , so I retraced his career and started listening to his old stuff again .

    usually i get bands straight off the bat, or i don't get them at all. but lately some people have been trying to get me to take an interest in pixies. they're fighting a losing battle. :D:p

    A lot of people are nuts about Radiohead, I can't really get into them at all.
