About a year ago, actually, after spending all of the 90's making fun of one of my best friends for liking them (for there is no limit to a high school metalhead's elitism). I heard "Kool Thing" on a total whim a while back and was surprised at how dark it was, so I picked up Goo and was impressed by it (especially "Mote" and "Titanium Expose"). Went back an album to Daydream Nation and was absolutely blown away - seriously one of the best albums I've ever heard in any genre. I still get goosebumps every time "Rain King" comes on.
Took me 17 years to "get it", but I finally did! I only wish I was still in touch with my friend so I could tell he was right.
