or even 3.

Some prominent ones in my memory:
R.E.M. - Murmur
The Replacements - Tim
The Cure - The Head on the Door
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes

Just off the top of my head, these are four of my all-time most cherished albums that I didn't really 'get' at first. They were also the first records I heard by these bands ... my first year of college.

Blue album is pretty great too. I liked that one the first time. Say It Ain't So is still a fave.
