    They regularly appear in the Greatest Of All Time album lists and it's always frustrated me that I didn't get anything out of either of them.

    To be clear, I've never found a classical music piece that's really moved me, but I can absolutely understand why some will claim Mozart or Beethoven etc to be genius and I wouldn't argue the brilliance of numerous artisits that I wouldn't actually enjoy listening to myself, but these two albums ? Worse than "meh".

    Last night though, I dug out Astral Weeks and it BLEW ME AWAY ! I've had it in twice since and I'm loving it.

    I've upgraded the hifi considerably in the last few months with the savings lockdown's enforced, but I can't believe that an improved sound quality would make a "bad" album sound "good".

    How did this happen ? What did I miss ? Some songs or albums are definitely growers, but I've been trying with these two for over twenty years.

    Wierd.

    ps, Pet Sounds still stinks. No disrespect........
    We all have tastes in music which may change with time, even to the extent of doing a volte face. For years I loathed soul music, or anything on the Tamala Motown label (as well as most of the non-jazz catalogue on Atlantic). Then about fifteen years ago, I suddenly realised what I was missing, fell in love with the music I had previously loathed and expanded my music collection.

    Likewise I couldn't get on with Neil Young's whiney, and feeble voice - but again, one day I changed my mind and went out and bought most of his (pre-grunge) output.

    'Pet Sounds' by the Beach Boys is a concept album - on the adolescent uncertainties and doubts we all feel when growing up. It is a classic album, and inspired and influenced the Beatles in the making of 'Sgt Pepper'. I certainly wouldn't say it "stinks", but if you don't like the sound of the vocal harmonisation, I can perhaps understand.
