I use to dislike the Dirty Work album when it first came out.
Now I dislike it even more .

Even within a song itself? For example, I was always "eh" on Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Younger, I liked the first half but thought the second was garbage. I even edited the song on my own to fade out at 3 minutes. Then as I got older, I realized how @#$%& dumb I was and adore the second half. I was blasting it this morning and realized nowadays I look forward to the second half moreso than the straight ahead first. Funny how things just change.
Anyone else have similar feelings with any Stones songs?

Most of Exile On Main Street. I was late to the party. When I got into the Stones around 77-78 it was one of the last albums I got and I didn't think that much of it. Always liked Rocks Off, TD, Happy and All Down the Line but the rest took a while to grow on me. I now listen to it often and think it is their finest work. In fact I don't think that there is a finer rock n roll album than Exile. But Casino Boogie, Sweet Virginia, Torn and Frayed, Sweet Black Angel, Loving Cup, Ventilator Blues etc really took awhile for me to appreciate.

I can really concur with this. I was gifted Exile on Main Street one Christmas. Having read how great it supposedly is, I was excited to listen to this 1972 masterpiece: how disappointed I was. It just didn’t grab me at all. In fact, I would argue it took several years before I truly ‘got’ it. To this day, however, I definitely feel it’s not an entry-level Stones release and I do consider it essential to listen to the record from start-to-finish. It’s far more appreciable as a whole work.
