An interesting article appeared in the Mercury News, about how HTTT grew on one writer to the point where it became a watershed album.
An excerpt-
“One of the best pop music experiences is hearing a song like OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” — sort of the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” of its day — a song that makes you feel bulletproof for 3 minutes and 55 seconds, that makes you get up and dance every time or sing at the top of your lungs in the car.
But there’s something better. It’s finding an album that you hate at first, maybe for even more than a dozen plays, but that ends up changing your musical tastes and maybe your life.
I had one of those moments with Radiohead’s “Hail to the Thief” over the holidays, an album that a number of readers pointed out was surprisingly absent from my top 10 for the year.”
