(Music) groups and artists you can't believe you listened to in your youth.

[SpokeyDokey]

Five decades back, in my teens, I listened to these and I now cannot comprehend what I liked about their music:

Lindisfarne
Yes
King Crimson
Blue Oyster Cult
Bachman Turner Overdrive

How about you?

Never liked the last two, Stil listen to the first three

 

[raleighnut]

I'd add Deep Purple/Rainbow to that list

Oh and Jethro Tull,

what you don't like these classics anymore?

Oh and Jethro Tull,

I don't mind the occasional listen to Smoke on the Water.

But...

... you have reminded me to add Black Sabbath to my list who I loved at the time but I now think their music is one unholy racket.

I rather find it the opposite way round, there are plenty bands I used to scoff at in the 70s...that I really enjoy listening to now.
Marc Bolan was one, rejected by me for his glam songs like Telegram Sam etc at the time butwhhen you actually listen to some of his work, his voice is beautiful, lyrics so unique
But to keep to the thread....no, I don't think there's anything I look back on and think...really ?

I do like a bit of Robert Fripp from time to time. I still quite enjoy a bit of Blue Oyster Cult too.

50 years ago I was 9.
I liked Lorenzo the Llama, as told by Johnny Morris. My parents listened to The Carpenters, I still like Karen’s voice. Still love George Harrison, Sweet, Elton John, Slade etc. I was playing Dobie Gray, on my ‘best of 1973’ CD earlier today in the car.
I am sure that there was plenty of stuff I hated, at the grand old age of 9 (Eye Level - Simon Park Orchestra) But I think much of it is still listenable without massively cringing.

Imo, this is the very best Slade track ever:
