I always liked it, but wouldn't admit to it when a stroppy teenager.

A few of the famous songs by these artists:
Johnny Cash - various amazing songs.
John Denver - Annie's Song, Leaving on a Jet Plane,
Glenn Campbell - Galveston, Wichita Lineman.
But growing up to music in the 70's and 80's, I loved post-punk, New Wave and dance music, and despised all things Country and Western.

Most of Stevie Wonder's stuff (though there are still some absolute honkers).
Geno by Dexy's which I got bored with and dismissed because it was on TOTP. Now play it all the time.

That would be Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno's version rather than Brian Ferry's?
If so can I recommend Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy), Another Green World and Before and After Science?
I'm amazed he had time to produce Bowie, Talking Heads let alone all the collaborations with Robert Fripp et al.
He has gone off the boil in the last few years but his output 1975-1995 was amazing...

it's not really Eno's version though is it what with Eno neither writing or producing either of the albums he appears on or forming the band, but being the one who was forced out.

For a few years I thought that 'The Hold Steady' were rubbish, then I got drunk and was them live while getting more drunk, then they came back to the pub and we all got really drunk and then one of them had to go to hospital.
They sent me a T Shirt.

This is rated to be one of the best ever live albums and believe me I have listened to it a few times to try and get into it. I really can’t see what the fuss is about Johnny Cash, most of his songs have a very samey sounding backing too. I just don’t get the Cash love in

Everyone in six form, or so it seemed, was a Numanoid. Was not into that stuff at all but in retrospect it’s actually really very good.

Have to politely disagree. His 2005 album Another Day On Earth is INCREDIBLE, including the achingly beautiful And Then So Clear;

The original punk version in German was very good indeed and arrived here thanks to John Peel. The English version mit der keyboards? Not so good.

Not a huge fan of Cash or his music genre but it is a cracking album that I've listened to several times.

I'm the opposite with 'Come on Eileen'. Loved it as a great pop/folk song and now hate it because all I can see is drunken wedding parties.

Back in the sixties I never really liked Roy Orbison or Gene Pitney, preferring the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, etc., but I have made up for it since.

There are many things I didn't give the time of day to that I now think are ace, including a lot of Kate Bush songs.
Also an excuse to post a silly thing done in Stanmer Park. Wuthering Day is world wide now, apparently.

Most things by the Walker Brothers. Dismissed them as a kid in to the blues, the Stones, Cream and so on, but now realise what a great voice Scott Walker had.
