Songs you hated growing up.....but grown to love..
|
Suppose it's quite common if them songs bring back good memories.
But there are a few that I have genuinely grown to love but actually hated them when I was growing up.
1. Sweet child of mine - guns & roses 2 sultans of swing - dire straights 3. On my own - michael Mcdonald/patti labelle
Think as you grow older you learn to appreciate the work that goes into certain songs and the talent that helped create them.

I used to hate any song by The Smiths as a young teenager.
Absolutely love most of their work now

As a youth i could never fathom why the output of 'The Right Fucking Spastics' was so popular, and forever in the pop charts.
Now though, looking back from the height of age, being honest I can now see the appeal of their debut album 'you some sorta fucking jubilee cunt', from which they lifted their first hit 7 inch 'tit slapping and dog shit batting'.
Memorably, in the video for that first smash single the band were all on stilts playing cricket with lumps of dog shit while the porn starlet linzie dawn mckenzie hopped round them slapping their noses with her giant tits like slightly gone down footballs
I fucking love their stuff now but when i was 12 i thought it was right poxy bollocks

Same as mallard re the smiths. Morrissey is still a massive thundercunt though
When I was about four or five my old man used to play the kinks constantly. I hated it. Listen to them now and I think they piss on everything out there at the time

Hasans... Ditto- grew up on the kinks as a nipper, and only realised how fucking brilliant they are as a man in later years
For me one of the most underrated and influential bands in british music history, ray davies a true poet
On the day of my wedding i woke up absolutely wankered and shitting myself about both getting married, and my wifes reaction to me turning up pissed.
At me mums that morning before the wedding i dug out my old mans original kinks vinyl and stuck on 'village green preservation society'. Someone handed me a glass of chomp, i listened to that about 8 times while getting ready and it got me bang up for it. I was ready to die for queen and country and we intended.
At me wedding when they played jerusalem i could hear the kinks calling to me down the years, telling me to fucking get it done, i was english. Village green.
The kinks saved my marriage sir. We are the skyscraper condemnation affiliates

To be fair 'crocodile shoes' by jimmy nail is one of the best tunes ever committed to vinyl about footwear made of vicious big toothed reptiles ever made.
The only thing that gets near it for me is 'penguin loafers' by cliff richards, which he once sung acapella at wimbledon to an appreciative audience of 12 posh people pretending to watch tennis whilst gorging themselves on strawberries while tara palmer tonkinsons shrieked like an upper crust cocaine huffing pony in the under seating toilets

Saw them by mistake in Spain. Looked really edgy in their bright pink, yellow and blue teddy boy suits and sporting comb-over DA's. Pretty sad really, but I had a great laugh at them.
