The albums you go back to thread kinda made me think of this...For me, it's Jeff Buckley...I love it now, but back in college when I first heard him, the "fluttery" vocals just rubbed me the wrong way. Didn't give it a chance for 10+ years--boy did I miss out.

Mind you, at the time my favorite bands were pavement, the velvet underground, and television, so actual singing wasn't something I knew much about appreciating!

Telecasters

Scotch

+1 on Western Swing!

I hated and ignored country music until I was 40 years old.

It took me a while to realize how much I really love the American Songbook/crooners stuff. Not that I ever didn't like it, I've just really learned to appreciate it as I've aged. Wait!....I may have just had an epiphany!

Classical music. When I was a teen I didn't want anything that wasn't cool. Now I think Beethoven's late string quartets are cool.

Johnny Cash (unfortunately)

Scotch

...and now I can't have it anymore. It is a cruel world.

Nylon String guitars for playing fingerstyle jazz/blues

I had to hit my mid '30s to appreciate country, western swing, Telecasters, old school Fender amps, and bourbon.

The Dead

tgfmike · January 13th, 2011, 06:40 PM

Bluegrass, old-time folk music, country from the '40s, 50s and early '60s. I'm starting to really like them all, thanks to the OFC thread.

Neil Young for me.

looney77 · January 13th, 2011, 07:34 PM

Same here with the dead, also steely dan, supertramp and alot of classic rock. After I got in my 30's and could take the time to pay attention, my whole life changed. I have almost picked up Jeff Buckley's grace album about 5 times, but have always decided against it. Maybe it's time.

Well, lets lay it on the line...this is sorta what the Dead are all about. If you can't dig it, they just might not be for you:

I know I'm about to be flogged but:

Jimi Hendrix

I knew he was one of the greats but never checked him out much, and the stuff I heard didn't move me much at the time. As I've been getting back into guitar playing again, (spent the last 15 years as a saxophonist) I have been checking out what a lot of new players I have discovered check out, and well....a lot of them end up at Hendrix.

NYbill · January 13th, 2011, 07:59 PM

Steely Dan. For some reason they really rubbed me the wrong way growing up (under 20). But now, I get it!
