Campfire Songs-Animal Collective, I heard a bunch of my friends pan it, and say that it was their worst work. Then I finally got around to listening to it while reading the lyrics, and it just blew me away. I even shed a tear during Doggy, its just a really emotional album for me.
Bon Iver-Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Before listing to it, all I heard was a bunch of hype, ton of people making fun of how high Justin Vernon sings, and that SNL spoof where he puts himslef to sleep with his own music. Then when I finally heard it I was overtaken about how amazing it was.
The White Album. I had been avoiding the Beatles for a long time and then I finally decided to listen to all of their albums. I listened to them in chronological order and enjoyed their music, but didn't see why they were considered the greatest band ever by so many people. Then I got to the White Album. Blew me away. Easily my favorite Beatles work.
I remember some days ago I asked you about Abbey Road and you thought it was pretty good I was somewhat surprised because I believed for some reason you were gonna appreciate it almost as much as The White Album. Maybe I assumed that because I'm a little "classic rock"-oriented myself (not a huge metal fan though-but I like a great amount of it, just not all of it) and Abbey Road is definitely my favorite Beatles work, or just because Harrison showed such amazing guitar skills in this album especially... I'm not judging opinions or anything, I just share some thoughts I had 😁
Most recent example for me was The Haunted Man. I'd pretty much dismissed Bat For Lashes as a pretentious pop act, very unfairly. I think it was partially to do with the artists I'd seen her advertized alongside, which I really disliked. Then Saoirse told me to listen to Laura, and it was amazing. Then I listened to the album and died. The production was so deep, textural and laboured over, and her voice shook my soul. It filled a void that I didn't realize was there, and I am a happier person for having heard it.
The Meadowlands by the Wrens which i've found recently.
just by the end of first track which is only around 1:30 minutes i already knew this is what i've been searching for in my entire musical life! the lyrics spoke to my soul and the music was brilliant!

Abbey Road is definitely up there with my favorites in terms of Beatles albums, probably even with Sgt Pepper, but none impacted me the way that the White Album did. _________________
Dopethrone by Electric Wizard, an album from a genre I have no interest in whatsoever. I only listened to this last week and found it instantly intriguing. I'm still at a loss as to why I find it even remotely enjoyable.
A few years ago I heard Neon Golden by The Notwist which was a real revelation. It was an instant favourite and lead me on to discover other great artists like múm, Lali Puna, Bibio and uncover a multitude of great albums I never knew existed.
