Way too many. The Cramps, The Pogues, PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen.
After about 20 years of not liking them, I am REALLY trying to tolerate REM.
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that I’ve only been listening to Bad Religion for a short time. Going through their work, I’m surprised at how many of their songs I was already familiar with, but I simply hadn’t paid that much attention to them. I didn’t hate them, but it was just something I’d hear at friends’ houses and never really picked up. I’m not sure what clicked, but I love Bad Religion.
Though something similar is true of most music in that genre. Always liked it, never paid too much attention to it though, and suddenly now I can’t get enough.
Tiger Lillies. I’d heard a couple of songs that didn’t catch my attention, and then recently, I heard some stuff that was just gorgeous. Some of their stuff is still too harsh, but the stuff that isn’t…wow.
