Second Chance Songs

In the same vein as Mr. Scot's thread, what are some songs or bands you changed your opinion about on a second listen?

 

I recently went back to my CD collection, and started re-listening to the songs I liked as a teenager. Many, as you might suspect, were godawful tripe. But what was really amazed me, is how many I think actually had some merit.

 

The one that stands out the most in my mind was "My Chemical Romance." I liked them when I was in high school and college, but haven't listened to them in a while. I kind of shelved them for the last 8 years or so once they started getting lumped in with the Emo groups, and my detestation for all things emo led me to distance myself from them. But I listened to "The Black Parade" again, and it's actually pretty damned good! The songs each have complexity, and movements within each track. Tempos changes, good lyrics. The music had some real substance to it. So maybe 17-year-old me had a modicum of taste after all.

 

Other surprisingly decent notables from my collection were Hanson, Backstreet Boys, TLC and the Cranberries.

U2

 

I was in high school when War and The Unforgettable Fire were released and at the time very much into metal.  They were college radio poo, hacks, and wouldn't last more than a couple of years.

 

Joshua Tree dropped and all I could think about was how slick marketing and form over substance had once again duped the American public.

 

 

 

 

I was soooooo fuging wrong...

i remember thinking linkin park was pretty revolutionary when they came out but listening to them again it's generic poo.

 

but the one band that took me a second chance to really dig was modest mouse. I remember a friend playing "lonesome crowded west" and i just kept telling him to turn it off i thought it was awful.

 

then we were driving back up to college listening to "we were dead before the ship even sank" and it clicked. i think it was because someone close to me had just recently died and this song came up on the playlist

 

 

 

 

went back and listened to all their albums from the beginning and now they are one of my favorite bands

System of a down. When I first heard chop suey when I was younger I had no clue why it was so hype. Now I beg for them to make more music.

Soil was one of the first albums I ever bought. I don't like near as many mainstream rock bands as I used to, but System of a Down remains one of my favorite bands ever.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By strato · Posted

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
