I have to say Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth. Couldn't understand all the fuzz about it at the time. Cannot say it grew on me to become one of my favourites, but now I can appreciate it.

Oh, man, to at least 80% of my top 100 albums I've had a lukewarm reaction at first listen, at best. (...And Justice For All by Metallica and Another Side of Bob Dylan are prime examples). Hell, I even hated hard rock and metal when I was a kid! Little did I know how much my tastes would change. And they keep changing, it's rather unnerving, but at least I seem to stay mostly within the rock spectrum.

^definitely. funny how much tastes can evolve over even the shortest amount of time.

but my big one was Badlands by Dirty Beaches. Thought it was boring and a bit pretentious my first listen. Sat down with a friend and gave it a real spin. Needless to say, it's one of my favorites of all time now.

Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective

Initially I thought it was just noise, after paying attention to the lyrics and listening to it some more I really enjoyed it

Love - Forever Changes
I listened to it once many years ago, because it was from 1967 which year I loved and I thought it will be another acid-psychedelic rock album (like another Jefferson Airplane album which was my favourite band then). I was wrong and I though it is such a boring album.
Years later I gave it another try and I immediately liked the album. Now it is in my Top 10 favourites of all time. I don' know how I couldn't hear the incredible beauty of the album for the first time. Maybe I wasn't mature enough to realise it.

Another was Whatever People Say I'm That's What I'm Not. It was incredibly noisy and energetic and fast, I thought I will never listen to the whole album, my ears were bleeding. Then something has changed, I started to listen to one, then two then three songs on it then the whole album. And I realisted it is an excellent album.

All of the albums in my top ten I really grew to love. Especially Nail - that was a real slow infection on my music taste.

Daydream Nation (I actually thought there were too many ethereal sort of bits to it) and Illinois (Sufjan's voice put me off - too cutesy for my taste). I give most albums at least a couple initial tries, but these two left a certain impression on me after those tries that had me return to them months later. Not much else has intrigued me in this way, and these are two very high-ranking albums for me.

Haha, maybe not a chorus, but some sort of hook or something. It felt so boring to me. I absolutely adore it now of course, for prettymuch all of those albums I ended up coming back to them a year or so later and fell instantly in love.

Actually, knowing that you didn't like it at first is pretty reassuring. It gives me hope 😮

Hilarious. Were you still at the "I want a chorus" level? Not loving this album at first listen is pathetic and I can hardly talk to you now.

Seriously, a lot of people talk about VU&N. I remember I had first listened to it back when my favorite bands were Van Halen and Guns 'N' Roses, and I had really enjoyed it. I did not really like Waiting For My Man, Run Run Run and the last few songs, but Sunday Morning, Venus In Furs and particularly All Tomorrow's Parties were instant favorites. I guess I had luck 🤔

Oh, and I forgot to mention Talk Talk, too. The first album I listened to by them was Spirit Of Eden. What a borefest. Thankfully the recorded more enjoyable material who helped me get into their later stuff. I still prefer The Colour Of Spring to anything else they did, though.

I think what you're trying to refer to is Bigmouth Strikes Again
