Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later

I did this with John Lee Hooker's "Mr. Lucky".  I bought this in high school and thought it was great.  As I progressed through the hobby I thought it was light, limp wristed and too soft.  I think some of this downward evolution was due to the loudness wars. Everything became more bombastic. 

Here I am 25 years later and hearing great dynamics in this Johnny Lee recording.  After I lap up this goodness of audio delight, I think to myself, "what other recordings have I dismissed before that I loved the music on but couldn't stand the production?" 

Have you done this?  I'm thinking if you offer up your experiences I can check in with them too to make sure I don't discard recordings I shouldn't.
