When I used to try to keep up with music, I'd often come home on Tuesdays with more than one release. Inevitably, one would become a staple and another would be forgotten.
I just recently listened to
The Toadies - Hell Below, Stars Above
And it's becoming a staple after all these years. Anyone else have a similar experience with an older album?

Absolutely.
Most notably, Tom Waits's Rain Dogs. But there are a ton of others.
What made you come back to that Toadies record after discarding it?

Paul McCartney - Ram Originally thought there was no substance to the music but now appreciate it's whimsical take. Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery Originally thought it was just pompous and bloated, now I think it's close to a masterpiece.
The following five bands fall into the same type of category Radiohead Never got into them at all until their greatest hits release. Now I accept them as phenomenal. Oasis Same deal as Radiohead but to a slightly lesser extent. Emerson Lake & Palmer Pretty much the same deal as Oasis but to a slightly lesser extent. Genesis Up to their album Duke, pretty much the same deal as Emerson Lake & Palmer but to a slightly lesser extent. Nine Inch nails Pretty much the same deal as Genesis but to a slightly lesser extent.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and the Cairo Gang - The Wonder Show of the World.
Troublesome Houses was such an awesome song on that album so I thought the rest of the songs didn't live up to that one. Been relistening to the whole album again, really good stuff.

i discovered the toadies when i saw them open for white zombie in 1996. overnight, rubberneck, became a seminal album in my life. by the time hell below, stars above came out (i think 6 years later), i had moved on. i bought it, spun it once, and then it gathered dust for over a decade. heard todd's voice on the radio a few years back singing beautiful night and wound up loving the first burden brothers record. the second was a disappointment. 2 or 3 or 4 years ago, the toadies toured prior to no deliverance being released. i went to see them play on whim. they played all of rubberneck, save one song. it stirred up old feelings. i downloaded no deliverance when it came out. didn't love it, but thought the opening track was bad ass. so they were back on my radar. they put out a new album this past summer. the new offspring album sounded like late 90s offspring albums, so i was excited for this. i was ready to have a summer of nostalgia. unfortunately, i wound up really being disappointed by play.rock.music. however, it made me realize i had an old toadies album i never really gave a chance. so i put hell below, stars above on my mp3 player. fucking love it. i think it's better than rubberneck. i'm enjoying it a lot right now.

Beck's Mutations. It just didn't grab me after Odelay. Then years later Sea Change came out and I absolutely loved that one, so I went back and listened to Mutations again. It's now my favorite Beck album.

For me it was the other way around. I thought "Odelay" was lame, and I wasn't expecting much with "Mutations", especially since it was so downplayed in the media. I loved it and it's still my favorite Beck album to this day. He lost me again with Midnight Vultures, which was touted in the press as the "proper" follow-up to "Odelay". What a load of shit.

Odelay still doesn't do much for me.
Mutations was the first Beck album that I liked. That album made me a fan.

I'd probably have to include Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby on my list. When I just heard U2 on the radio I could take or leave them. In college a good friend was a die hard and really got me into them.
