Music you hated then you like now?
Andrew Stewart
that you tolerate, like or even love now? I've found this is more and
more the case for me as I get older. There's a lot of stuff I didn't
like in the 70s and wouldn't have listened to that I won't change the
channel on now if it comes on the radio, and I even find myself buying
albums by bands I didn't like in the 70s.
I'm not sure if this is a case of my taste changing as I get older, or
if I'm suddenly more favourably disposed towards all 70s music on pure
nostalgia grounds.

the 70's, but he joined Ringo Starr's 4th All-Starr Band in 1997 and I
couldn't believe how good the guy was when I saw them in concert. I could
even sit through his old songs ("Show Me The Way") without getting sick.
But he really shined on the material the other band members did, such as
Jack Bruce's "Sunshine of Your Love".

I find myself appreciating Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell's stuff a lot more now. I
had pretty much dismissed most of the "singer/songwritet" stuff as whiny and
insufferable, and I still hold to that description for a lot of it. I'm not sure
why I changed my mind in Simon's case; in Mitchell's, it was by being reintroduced
to some of her records by a friend.

Disco & black music in general.
Hated it then, can't live without it now.

Yes. In the 70's I was a teenage hard rock fan, especially Deep Purple, Aerosmith,
Pink Floyd. Today I love to hear Abba even though I couldn't stand it then. Also,
I can't bear Deep Purple or Aerosmith anymore, but I still find the old Pink FLoyd
music interesting.

By far and away, for me it's Emerson Lake & Palmer. Couldn't stand
them save for Lucky Man, thought it was overbombastic, self-serving
crap. Well, I grew up. After taking a flyer on their Atlantic GH
collection at the library, I found a couple more tracks that I liked,
then snagged some of the early LPs for cheap on the Net and at the
local "garage sale store"...In short order I "got" Trilogy and Brain
Salad Surgery, and then it all made sense. Reading about their history
in Goldmine around that time helped...so I have since become a
confirmed ELP freak, just in time to see them live once before Greg
Lake left the band recently.

"real musicians" back then? For example, I might have more respect for
rappers when I see an instrument in their hands or they dont steal riffs
from others. A lot of current hits seem so "cookie cutter" to me and a
lot of current artists seem to be more concerned with looking good. With
seventies music you can just hear the first bar of a song and be able to
identify it right away- there was more originality (In music, not image.

Haha, sure there is! Living through the 70's, I was pretty turned off by
nearly all the really successful radio tunes from the birth o' disco on...
I liked the pre/proto-punk and glam rockers and hated disco. Didn't really
learn to appreciate it till the early 80's... Don't know if it was
age/nostalgia, or just my natural tendency to hate things I feel are being
marketed down my throat! But hey, better late than never!

I used to hate Slade, 70s Stones, and Pink Floyd, for example.

I couldn't stand Jim Croce, KC and the Sunshine Band and Earth Wind and Fire,
and I still can't stand them. :) I couldn't stand disco, but I am more
tolerant of it now, especially when it is such a classic as Pink Floyd's
Another Brick in the Wall.

I got "Frampton Comes Alive" for Christmas or something around '76 and
really liked it. I was embarrased to let my friends see it though so I
stuck it all the way in the back of my record collection so it'd look
like I never listened to it.
There's some damn fine guitar playing on that album which I really
came to appreciate later when I started playing guitar myself.
Framptom really made the rotating Leslie speaker part of his signature
sound, but he did steal the talk box thing from Joe Walsh. At least he
made good use of it.
Too bad they promoted him as some sort of pretty boy teen idol instead
of as the exellent songwriter and musician he is.
Paul White
Yeah, there are lots of songs I didnt like then, but I like now. I even had
the opportunity to go see Led Zepplin live, but I didnt like them then, so I
passed it up ... (OH MY GOD, did I do that !?!?!)
But I will never EVER enjoy "Send in the Clowns" !!!!!

care for back then( "...for ugly duckling girls...like me"--whine,whine,whine
). Although, if it were to be played today, I would not turn it off, probably
because I haven't heard it in quite a while.

variety: novelty hits, Village People, etc.
I also can tolerate some more classic rock. The musicianship was so much
better then!

I remember my sister and I had adjoining rooms and while she blared
"Weekend In New England" from her record player I would be blasting her
back with "Dressed To Kill".
Now I kinda like Barry,I'm not a die hard fan of his but I can listen to
him from time to time.However,my sister still hates KISS....

Hey, now you're talking - but then, I've always loved the Village People...
one by one...and even better when they are performing live.
