Music you have changed your mind about

[trailerprincess]

Well, maybe changed my mind about is perhaps a little strong but I'm currently liking Bloc Party. I was totally underawed by Silent Alarm and found them quite annoying but I love 'The Prayer' and 'On' which are the 2 tracks I have heard from the new album. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

[MC Moot]

I saw them open for the Pixies and that peaked my interest alot more than "Silent Alarm" did......great live show.....but "The Prayer" as a 1st single from the new record does nada for me.....

Well, until I was about 12, I thought Billy Joel's music was really good.

Why did Billy Joel say "we didn't start the fire"???

I was so very big on John Cougar/Mellencamp at that age.....

[abcdefz]

I still listen to Lonesome Jubilee now and again.

Uh Huh is really solid. (y)

No idea. I was off his stuff by then.

A lot of his lyrics are pretty insipid.

I'm absolutely with you. They did nothing for me until I heard the new stuff. I'll get each album with 71% certainty.

Yes,Scarecrow and Jubilee are the only 2 I kept.....the Billy Joel bit,I've always wondered about that lyric from "Do It".....;)

[abcdefz]

I don't know that song.

I think The Bridge was the last of his stuff I ever heard.

Oh, man. Uh Huh is one you should've kept "Tumblin' Down" alone makes that one worthwhile.

Big Daddy has some really good stuff on it, too.

I used to always write the Smiths off as faggy moperock for guys with vaginas. but then i listened to them and i kind of like the Smiths now.

he,he...I'm talking about the Beasties reference in "Do It" from Ill Com you know,"Because I Got The Motherfuckin' Old School Flavor,That You Savor So Watch Your Behavior,Talkin' Other Dimensions Levels Higher,Why Did Billy Joel Say "We Didn't Start The Fire"......(y)

Trivial side note: I refinished a church (featured in Brokeback Mountain) on a ranchers land and the guy owns 3 large oil canvases by Mellencamp....not bad, but not great.....they were all gifts for a choice cutting horse....

I've seen some of his paintings. They were after he'd been painting for a few years, and they were surprisingly good. Sort of a cross between Vermeer and Edward Hopper.

I met him at a mall in Bloomington once, about a week or two after meeting his wife at the McDonald's drive through.

lilly allen and nelly furtado

in nelly's case, i think its because she is making different music than she did before.

[Knuckles]

Paul Simon's solo stuff used to drive me nuts back in the 80's. When I listened to it later with more "mature ears" I found it fantastic.

I think I disliked it because my parents played Graceland approximately 34 times on a trip to California in a Ford Aerostar.

[Documad]

My old roommate was obsessed with Graceland. I will never be able to listen to it again, for as long as I live.
