Okay then, here's a sub topic for all the regular contributors to this thread.

Is there a song that you hated at the time it was first released but have since grown to love it. This is the one for me that I'll always remember. When it first came out, I couldn't stand it, but I really like it now.

I always liked Slade "Man Who Speaks Evil" the B-side to "Mama Weer All Crazee Now"


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

This I can definitely agree with.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

So many. I've found that as I get older I am becoming more eclectic in my musical tastes. Here is a classic example. When I first met my wife she was really into Spandau Ballet, I hated all that "Gold" and "True" rubbish and still hate them, but I do now like this ...

To Cut A Long Story Short is my favourite SB track. It was their debut single and in my eyes never really matched it with any future release.

I still don't know how Tony Hadley manages to hold that note at the end.

Bbefore my time as a but it used to be on continuously in the Lifeboat. There’s a load of reaction videos on YouTube, usually by black Americans who can’t believe his voice.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Great idea Les.

Not so much a song as an artist. I just didn’t like David Bowie as a youth. Didn’t actively hate him though. But I’m the sort of cussed booger (or was) for whom people raving about something made do the opposite. I had a friend who was massively into him (and kraftwerk and later Gary Numan). When I went to Uni in 1981 he was popular all over again because he was an inspiration for all that New Romantic and electronic music around at the time. A mate there used to play Bowie all the time and as I crashed on his floor many week nights because my digs were miles away, I was a captive listener. And that gave me time to properly listen.

As a track almost at random, here’s one referenced by Promotion Plaice on the word association thread.



I still don’t like Gary Numan though 😆
