what are you like now?
You don't want to know.
ok...then what were you like then?
A miserable teenager. If it hadn't been for the Stones, I don't know how I would have made it through.
tell us more. and remember to include intimate details about the nature of the relationship with your mother.
maybe you should just stop all the hatred....the worst you could do is be 25% wrong.
My thoughts exactly about Undercover
"No Anchovies, Please"
true. albums are so twentieth century. our collective attention spans and inability to focus have put the premium on songs, not albums. anyone who disagrees is lying.
I do disagree in this instance, in that not only do I listen to rock, country, blues, jazz inter alia, but I also listen to classical music. Classical music does require an attention span, be it Mozart, Talis, or Glass.

The one that comes to mind is McCartney's Ram. I didn't hate it, but it just never did anything for me. Now I think it's on of Paul's best records.

U2 - the Joshuatree...still boring...
Beatles - Sgt Peppers...still from another star in another universe...
and:
Mick Taylor - a stone`s throw...at the first time it sounded hollow like an old thrown away bottle, without the right feeling...but now, Baby, there is the feeling!!!...except `blind Willy McTell`, still sounds strange...

'Hate' is a big word...
But it took me years to like 'Exile...', 'Screamadelica' (Primal Scream) & 'On The Corner' (M. Davis).

I first heard Exile when I was 14 (right when it came out) and didn't hate it, but was confused, as I was used to the hits on Rocks Off that I had been listening to every day. I had yet to be soaked in the blues, soul, and country music that I now love (that came later), so no wonder it didn't quite click with me then. One day I put it on and the world changed. I haven't been the same since.

Didn't get all the hype about "The Velvet Undergound & Nico," until I got to college, and damn if that album doesn't sound AMAZING when played in a dorm room.

As far as Stones content goes... Undercover. Laughed at it the first few times, but fell in love with She Was Hot and the next thing I knew I was digging the whole album.
Other bands... Joy Division. The first time I heard Ian Curtis's voice I thought "I can't believe someone let him sing... and I can't believe people worship these guys."
Next thing I knew they became my favourite band for a couple of years.

Albums - isn't that a thing of the past? And how many albums today are worth listening to repetedly? When was the latest time you spent so much time on one album?

Chopin can be notoriously difficult to master: Alan Rusbridger in his book "Play It Again" struggled, not just with the Leverson Enquiry, but with mastering Ballade No 1 in G Minor by Chopin. Focussing on 9 minutes of Chopin is complicated enough.
