I too have discovered that the Beach Boys did some great songs and weren't just surfer dudes (thanks Marty).  I'll never be a big fan, but at least I don't hate them anymore!

There are two bands that I rediscovered, took more seriously, listened to again,
and explored deep catalog cuts due to Audities.

Before Audities, I thought the Beach Boys were a novelty band..(yep)..and I
never knew much about ELO (except the hits).

I was recently in the US and I realized that the first few ELO albums had been
reissued. I always had trouble finding these for some reason but I finally was
able to get a hold of them and my overall verdict is..I have been really missing
out...I am really enjoying No Answer and ELO II.

Thanks Audities
