Music/Artists you never thought you would listen to...

I have to say, I never thought in my life I would appreciate classical music. I am currently taking a course in college called "music appreciation". Basically, our teacher is a hardcore old hippy who has had his fare share of acid in his day, lol. He's a funny guy. But anyways, he knows his shit about music. He taught me how to listen to classical music, etc.
Beethoven is a fucking genius.
There isn't one artist today (YES, every single artist ever since 1830) that hasn't been influenced by Beethoven.

I think if beethoven were alive today, he would be shredding on some metal riffs.

I used to hate country, but now I like some artists, like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

I never thought I like electronic music now, I used to be one of the poeple who always shitted electronic music. now I can listen to a lot of different genres without much limits.
by the way, mozart and bach are the killerz.

Also, it took me a while to get into some of the more screamy metal vocals, but now I love the stuff.

i never would have imagined myself listening to jazz...i always thought it was just weird. Then i took a course that forced me to look into it...and I found my home. Been happily living there since. The raw, pure emotion just hooks me. --Krem

I'd say Grateful Dead. I just never really dug their sound. I'm not the biggest fan ever by a long shot, but at least I can appreciate them. Pink Floyd I didn't see comin either.
Basically anything I've liked past Electronic I didn't see coming. Now electronic is my least favorite =/

I never thought I'd listen to latin or soul. I actually never thought I'd listen to anything that wasn't metal a few years ago, now I pretty much listen to anything that isn't metal.

Shpongle and Infected Mushroom are examples of bands that, 5 years ago, I would have never listened to.
