For me it was Andrew Bird (who I am currently on a binge of) and Fleet Foxes.
To a lesser extend, Radiohead and the Flaming Lips. Though I mostly just didn't care about them until I was older.

I had a similar thing happen, but a bit different. I always liked melodic and symphonic black metal but I had a hard time appreciating the rougher production side of things. Now, I like it all. I see the low production as an added layer of distortion on top of the already distorted guitars. It can help the tremolo riff gain a "hum" that allows it to fill your whole ear. It's for not everyone, and I can totally understand why it turns people off, but it does add atmosphere.
