15 Albums I (Mistakenly) Overlooked The First Listen
ABC order. Pretty self-explanatory list, with small little details in the rdescriptions. Maybe rrcomment with stuff you hated/disliked the first rtime and now love. Recs if youve gotem. |
| 1 |  | Against Me!
Reinventing Axl Rose
Only enjoyed a couple of songs for some reason. I was probably too
anxious to get more into punk to give it a better listen |
| 2 |  | Arcade Fire
Funeral
I didn't care for Arcade Fire for the longest time. Listened to this album and
Neon Bible and had pretty neutral feelings. half the songs having the same
title confused me and i didn't really give it a fair chance until earlier this
year. |
| 3 |  | Between the Buried and Me
The Silent Circus
This first time I heard this I thought it was garbage and screaming, now I
really enjoy it |
| 4 |  | The Flaming Lips
The Soft Bulletin
This is a weird one because I heard and loved Yoshimi by the time I heard
this. I was probably expecting it to be more in your face |
| 5 |  | The Gaslight Anthem
The 59 Sound
I don't know, I just though it wasn't that good. I liked Sink or Swim more
than this one for the longest time. |
| 6 |  | LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem
Couldn't really get into it for some reason. Not until right after the last time
they toured in my city |
| 7 |  | Metallica
Master of Puppets
I already had ...And Justice For All but for whatever reason it took me a
couple listens for this one |
| 8 |  | Modest Mouse
The Moon & Antarctica
Both my stoner music friend and my folk/'bassist in a cool band' friend really
loved this but I couldn't get past the first two songs for a few years. |
| 9 |  | Muse
Absolution
Muse is one of my dad's favorite bands (Bruce, Grateful Dead, Muse, Wilco-
if I had to guess about past 1) but i didn't like the distorted voice and
overdriven instruments. |
| 10 |  | Neutral Milk Hotel
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
This was pretty far into my 'indie' discoveries but at first the only song I
liked at all was the title track. Now I love em all |
| 11 |  | Of Montreal
Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
This one just confused me. I didnt know what to make of it at all- was it
lame blip bop pop music, or something better. I knew when I saw them live
the next week at a festival |
| 12 |  | Radiohead
OK Computer
My best friend loved this album when we were 8/9 but i didnt enjoy it for a
long ass time |
| 13 |  | The Strokes
Is This It
heard it during my metal phase, I don't think I have to go deeper into it |
| 14 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
Doesn't everyone not get it the first time? By two I was neutral and by the
4th go through I was singing along |
| 15 |  | Wilco
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
I didn't know what to make of Wilco, are they country (bad), alt-country
(worse), mod rock (even worse), or some weird band my dad likes? Took a
while to figure out the answer was none of the above |
