"aja"....steely dan.....had dismissed them as sterile(perhaps clinical would be fairer)...but the title track just did it for me..and more..."black cow". i fear i did them a disservice for being contemptuous of their works...

Thought they were middle of the road dross. Then i heard 'Long Train Running' and thought it was a good tune so i bought the best of. Turned out i was right all along they just had one good song the rest was indeed poo!

The first 3 or 4 were actually quite good, especially The Captain & Me (the one with Long Train Running). It only turned really bland when Michael McDonald joined them .

Re: i used to hate (name the band)'till i heard....
Bigmouth by the Smiths. I thought I hated them until that point. As it turns out I was just being a bigoted, narrow minded little tosser and as soon as I stated listening to them properly I realised how great they were. Many of my friends were appalled. I was in with a very rock crowd, and anything released in 1986ish was considered anti-music, unless it was the new album by Magnum.
The really astonishing part of all this (to me) is that I was a student at the time. In Manchester. How I managed to avoid listening to them properly in that time frame is beyond me now.

After having only heard 'May I Sing With Me,' which I assume is their worst album. Sounded to me like a clumsy mash up of REM and Sonic Youth noise freakouts.

Suede, until I heard them play live on their tour supporting their debut album because I was bored one night.I felt I had nothing to lose. I suddenly realised I was being very silly by resisted. Then they released Dog Man Star, one of my favourite albums ever. I felt like I was denying myself previously.
