This might be a fun thread- not restricted to just music either! Name something-a song, a food, a place etc... that you used to hate, but now love- and why!
I used to really hate Yes's "Owner of a Lonely Heart". I just could not understand the appeal of that song or the wierd video that went along with it back when it was huge 1984-5 I think. Then I heard it maybe 3 weeks ago for the first time in a long time, and I was blown away by the musical expertise of that song.
I also used to hate pizza when I was a kid. Too tomato-y. But then I liked it in highschool. And I did not like mac and cheese until college!

OH MAN I ate so much top ramen back in college, I don't think I could ever eat that EVER AGAIN! LOL. A real treat was when I could afford a 99 cent bag of frozen veggies to mix in with the 5 bags of ramen! lunch for the week!

You guys are probably going to think I'm sick, but I love ramen noodles with Russian dressing on them. Put them over some lettuce and mix in some Russian dressing and it's awesome. My mom used to eat them that way and I thought it was so gross until I tried it.
I'm amazed that I was brave enough to try it, though. She's German and some of the stuff she would eat...yuck. Bone marrow soup, herrings, and this glop of stuff with herrings, boiled eggs and spices in a gelled thing (kinda like clear jello). Just to be clear, she didn't eat those all at once, but even one at a time was disgusting.

My dad says my grandma used to fry calves brains in a pan and they would spatter! said when he was a kid he was checking out what was for dinner, lifted the lid of the pan and saw brain frying. freaked him out pretty good.

I often thought about being the ramen noodle spokesmodel. I swear that must be every bachelors diet thru school. I figure if Jerod can do it for Subway why not?

Orinoco Flow by Enya. I never liked that song until we were driving on US1 between Melbourne and Cape Canaveral Florida. The song came on and we're driving with ocean and palm trees right there and the song made sense to me. The next time I heard it was about two months later back in Indiana far from the ocean. But that song took me back immediately. Now it has become one of those cherished songs.
