Musicians you hate now but didn't when you first heard them

Mull of Kintyre alone merits an aisle seat on the Dakota Of Doom

Can't talk about Macca and not mention "The Frog Chorus". Always provokes a strong reaction at Karaoke night!

I got seriously into the Rolling Stones in my early 20's after punk rock died out and i didn't fancy all that New Romantic electric pop stuff. I saw them perform at Newcastle's football ground and Leeds Roundhay Park in 1982. I bought all their albums, and many books about the band. I gave up on them after about 10 years
Now i think they're way past their sell by date and quite embarrassing to watch.
In fact come to think of it they weren't that good when i saw them live. I suppose i was swept away with all the "Best band in the world" euphoria.

Has that happened then?

Around here it did/has. Blackburn's King George's Hall saw the Clash( 3 times), The Ramones, The Jam(twice)The Damned, UK Subs to name but a few. After they stopped the punk bands appearing we moved on.

In a box somewhere up in the loft is a Wishbone Ash album on cassette. I bought it because I heard one of their songs and thought it sounded quite good, not realising the band based their music on some sort of mystical hippy garbage.

Thin Lizzy I got into when they first appeared, can't stand them now.

Has that happened then?

We can but hope.
