twenty is probably exaggerating a bit, but it was at least 10 before i really enjoyed it.
just to clear the whole '20 listens' thing up, i'm not saying i would listen to an album i hate 20 times because i'm desperately hoping i'd come around to it. but when i first listen to an album, there might be a number of songs i think are good (and redeeming, and will make me come back to the album and listen to it again) and a number that i didn't like. but by listening to it a few times, i can get into the whole album.
Amnesiac is one of the albums that i don't listen to despite the fact i quite like two or three of its songs.
is what i was getting at.
yep, good point. this is something that never really crosses my mind though because as Ashley said, i wasn't alive and it's hard to imagine.
same with me. i've got Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Peppers, The White Album and Abbey Road and i can safely say i don't think they're as amazing as most people seem to think. Revolver is one of the most overrated albums ever, in my opinion. having said that, Abbey Road would be in my top ten ever.
