Albums you liked MORE the more you listened to them

[mvd]

Bruce Springsteen's Magic is one of mine. I've listened several times to it lately, and the production is finally starting to gel as a great mix of 60s/classic Bruce Sound/a bit of modern rock. In fact, I'm increasing Magic to a 5/5 rating and decreasing Working On A Dream to 4.5/5.

1. Virtually everything by Radiohead and Modest Mouse

:)

[EastTennesseeDem]

16. ^This is the correct answer

In fact, those words in that order were what I was going to post.

24. I agree 100% with radiohead and about 75 % with Modest Mouse...

While I like MM, I just cannot get into all of their music.

2. Royal Scam - Steely Dan.

Every year I age, I love the album even more. And Deerhoof, there's something about that self titled ep that keeps bringing me back.

Also, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy - Elton John, is his most underrated album.

[Bertha Venation]

3. Emmylou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl"

and k.d. lang, "Hymns from the 49th Parallel"

[Tobin S.]

4. Crossing the Rubicon by The Sounds

I thought that there was one great song and two okay songs on the entire album the first 5 or 6 times I listened to it. I'm glad I kept playing it because now I think the whole album is great except for maybe one kind of cheesy song (white girl rap) that I still sort of like.

Watershed by Opeth. I think they are an acquired taste. I've also got another album by them call Blackwater Park that's just starting to grow on me and I've listened to it 6 or 7 times. You have to be into a wide variety of music, I think, to get these guys- anything from death metal to classical.

7. Good to hear, because I'd like to eventually get that CD

I'll just understand it could be a grower.

5. A few of them, actually

Lucinda Williams: Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

Johnnie Bassett: I Gave My Life to the Blues

Alice in Chains: Jar of Flies

[Ohio Joe]

6. Signals - Rush

The first time I heard it, I thought it was complete shit. It has become one of my favorite albums though, it really grows on you.

[branders seine]

8. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

by Wilco.

[mvd]

9. One of the best CDs of the decade IMO

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[branders seine]

11. Me too.

Thank you.

[skypilot]

10. "Milk and Kisses"--Cocteau Twins

Their very last CD. They went out with a bang in my opinion.

[kwassa]

12. Many Stones albums

I'd run out and buy them, and then be pissed. They would sound like nothing. Then, they would slowly grown in my consciousness .... and I would end up in love again.

[abq e streeter]

13. Wise Guy-Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Just Like Honey-Jesus and Mary Chain

The Fugs second album, every Temptations album from the 60s, from Temptin' Temptations through Wish it Would Rain... Two by Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes-I Don't Want To Go Home, and Love is a Sacrifice, The Doors-Soft Parade, The Clash-Give Em Enough Rope, Gram Parsons-Grievous Angel, Lou Reed-Coney Island Baby, Robert Johnson-King of the Delta Blues Singers, Graham Parker's first two-Heat Treatment and Howling Wind, Tom Waits-Nighthawks at the Diner, Talking Heads-Speaking in Tongues, X--More Fun in the New World..... I liked all of these from the start, but these are some that just continued to grow on me as the years passed...and one by Sylvain Sylvain and The Teardrops and I'm having a brain fart as far as the title.

14. The Crane Wife by the Decemberists.

It's a really amazing album.

[alfredo]

15. "Hoodoo Zephyr" John Adams

You got to be pretty wrecked to get the full effect.

[AllenVanAllen]

17. Every time I hear Pink Floyd's

The Wall all the way trough, I enjoy it more and more.





:hi:

[bluesbassman]

18. The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of the Reverend Horton Heat

Raw energy baby!

19. OK Computer- Radiohead

First time I listened I was like --- MEH???


Kept putting it on and it grew like a fungus.

[armyowalgreens]

20. Yep. Same here.

[JCMach1]

22. Weirdly I can almost never remember the names of the songs

they are relatively unimportant as it truly is AN album.

[armyowalgreens]

23. I will always remember at least one song: Paranoid Android...

One of the greatest rock songs of all time.

[JCMach1]

25. Have over time because of the MP3 player format

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. Neil Young's "Ragged Glory"...the gift that keeps on giving.

Dear God, did I HATE Young's "lost decade" at Geffen Records. He released "Rust Never Sleeps" and "Live Rust" and then spent the next ten years releasing bad album after bad album.

So when I heard "Rockin' In The Free World," from "Freedom," I was PUMPED.

Then came "Ragged Glory"...easily the best NY & Crazy Horse album since "Zuma." I'd given up any kind of faith that he could still make that kind of album.

:toast:

26. "Sawdust" - The Killers

Didn't like it the first time through, but some of the songs have grown on me as I listen to it more.

[hippywife]

27. Almost every one I buy.

There are generally numerous songs I'm unfamiliar with and don't really care for on first listen. So, I put it on continuous play in the car for my commute and then also in the house on the weekend when I'm working around here until I find myself humming much of it even when it's not playing. Soon I find that I love it all.

[MissMillie]

28. "Hats" by the Blue Nile

That guys voice at first made me wonder who actually considered giving him a recording contract... but the music was so layered and interesting... and then his voice grew on me to the point where I realized that it was part of the interesting layering.

[BarbaRosa]

29. Innuendo --Queen

A friend gave me this cd a few years ago. At that time I wasn't a huge Queen fan, I liked them but not enough to buy a cd. The more I listen, the more I like it.
