Name a BAND that you thought sucked donkey balls but then quite suddenly you thought, hey, they’re actually quite decent.
for me that BAND would probably be Coldplay.
when i heard “Fix You” for this first time, i thought it was a great song. this in turn made me go back and give other Coldplay stuff a chance.
while my world didn’t change to any great extent while listening to other Coldplay tracks, i was glad to discover some other really decent songs by a band that, up until recently,I slagged off relentlessly .

Until not so long ago, I couldn't stand Tom Waits cos I thought he couldn't sing. Then I heard one of his songs, I don't even know the title - I just know that it was absolutely beautiful :o)
EDIT: Technically, this thread is about bands, not singers. So sorry to bring a solo artist into the mix :oP |

| for me it would be stereophonics - i didn't exactly hate the band but they just weren't my cup of tea, until i heard 'it means nothing' - now when i hear previous tracks i don't mind them and can listen to full ones |

For me it was Kaiser Chiefs!
At first their songs used to really get on my nerves, yet I couldn't stop singing them. Then I realised how good they were and how wrong I was! |

I didn't care much for The Shins. I first heard one of their songs on one of those "Hear Music" cds from Starbucks...and I figured all of their stuff was like it.
But, now I'm really loving them! |

i never liked this band either but then i started digging some of their stuff. "dakota", "have a nice day", "local boy in a photograph", "that one about doing something to your radio". good songs. |

hm. i don't know what should be judged most harshly here, the fact that a) you were in a starbucks b) you bought a starbucks brand cd or c) you like the shins.
i think i'll go with hidden option d) all of the above! |

the b boys. anything after the first disc (excluding the latest contract-fulfilling instrumental release) is alright in my book.
i think that "check your head" is one of the greatest albums of the 1990s. classic. |

c) no and they're not.
