A really good example of how familiarity with something affects your appreciation of it. This isn’t really any different, and neither better nor worse, than Core by Stone Temple Pilots, or probably ten other minor league grunge albums. But I heard Core at the time and love it still, while this is my first go on this one and it’s unlistenable heroin grunge nonsense

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

Rio by Duran Duran

Easily 35 years since I’ve heard this and surprised at how well it’s aged and how much I remember. Not a bad surprise at all.
