a more modern/recent one, but Harry Styles. I hated him in One Direction and all that teeny-pop ****. But since he has moved to a solo career I have been very impressed by his range and consistency to not fall into a stereotypical musical act that left a boy band.
His acoustic covers on the Tiny Desk Concert were what solidified it for me.
Adore You acoustically is 5x better than the studio version imo.

Funny -- they are the opposite for me.
They get less and less interesting as I get older.
Completely Agree. Once I allowed myself to sit down and watch Stop Making Sense all the way through, I gained a new appreciation for them and David Byrne. Now they are consistent mainstay in many of my playlists.
I will go with Fleetwood Mac. Like others I was quite the contrarian so didn't appreciate much that was uber popular. So when Rumours came out I was pretty down on them. Over time I've come to appreciate them for what they are/were. Still not a huge fan, but will not avoid them with vigor like I had before.
Surprised so many have come to appreciate Elvis Costello. I was a huge fan back in his heyday and there weren't that many. His music was not really played anywhere around here with any kind of regularity so you sort of had to seek it out.

Fleet wood Mac was my parents second favorite band (behind the Eagles). Loved it as a kid, went away from it, then started messing around with guitar, bass guitar, and synth in my late 20’s and digging in to their musicality more. Now I’m a huge fan of FM again. I don’t care for Stevie Nicks that much (or vocals in general in any music)really but their musical connection is amazing. You can see how much they’ve hated each other and burned every bridge amongst the group, but that musical connection always brings them back because they could never find it anywhere else. And that is cool to me.
Kings of Leon. I still don't think they're really that good but their early stuff was at least raw and they were just playing some rock and roll.
Recently I still don't like his actual music but I've realized Post Malone is a talented person and his Nirvana set might have been some of the best I've seen/heard out of him. I think he mentioned that he wasn't using autotune and he should stick with it.

Post is good. He can play guitar, writes his own stuff, produces. Has an ear for melody and gets into your head.
They started to peak again in '89. Jerry was more committed to getting healthy and they were killing it live. Then Brent died.
My ideal year to go back and see them would be 1976.
Nickleback is so generic that I have a hard time enthusiastically hating them. I don’t like their music, but I just can’t muster a reaction, and hating them has become a total cliche/expected opinion.
Creed is light years worse. That’s a truly hateable band.

I didn't realize Brent was in the band for 12 years. I thought it was only a handful
