I'm sort of indifferent to Animal Collective now.

For the most part I feel like I've swung back around on all of the bands I ever became embarrassed about liking.

Couldn't see myself listening to Nick Cave, Mark Kozelek or Swans

The last two I fully understand but I really enjoyed Nick Cave's third last album Push the Sky Away. Haven't listened to the last two though.

Bjork. I never want to hear that voice and those mannerisms ever again.

Björk I could never stand.

Blur. Can't stand anything pre self-titled or post "13," and 70% of those two albums also rub me the wrong way. It's definitely an Albarn thing.

Ha, I actually didn’t start liking them until I turned 30 or so.

same for me, as a teenager I could not get past how bad some of the lyrics are, now that I'm an adult I really don't care much about lyrics unless you're a band like Sparks that's particularly good at writing them

Sort of an orthogonal example, but one I think is sort of interesting--I've always loved Aesop Rock, but I can't stand to listen to his old (pre-2007 or so) material anymore. It's like listening a different, much weaker artist entirely, IMO. His delivery, flow & writing improved drastically since then. Call it a reverse Yo La Tengo, I guess (I have no strong opinions about YLT one way or the other).

Ooh, yeah, Bjork, I can't really listen to her anymore, either. I don't know if I hate it, I just don't want to hear it.

Modest Mouse were sort of like that for me

their stuff up to M&A still sounds okay but I never really wanna listen to it. and the show wasn't all that bad, this was after Brock got sober so it wasn't a disaster. I was just like..."already, that's enough Mouse for one lifetime" and outside of a single listen to their new album I've stuck to it
