He's calling you out, Orpheus!

Fight, fight, fight, fight!

Awwwwwwww, man. Is this a revenge thread?

No, it's not a revenge thread. He said he's a big Birthday Party fan but would only listen to Nick Cave's new double CD one time because he found it so boring. I'm actually guilty of the same thing with Nocturama so it just got me thinking that's all. It's obvious from his posts that Orpheus's love of good music speaks for itself.

I certainly do. If I didn't eventually come back to stuff I didn't like on first listen, I would not currently be an avid fan of things I love like rap (all of it), Coltrane's Ascension, Black Flag/most hardcore, etc., the list goes on forever. That I can remember, I've never listened to something for the first time and immediately loved it, so it doesn't surprise me that I can listen to something, have to turn it off, and then come back to it some time later and love it.

Yeah, my introduction into Gentle Giant fits into this category. I remember 3 distinct tries with them. Third time was the charm.

Lately I've found myself falling in love with bands that at first I dismissed as being boring (Black Flag, Misfists, Gang of Four). I think my reasoning at the time was that their songs all sounded the same (which they don't!!!) Now I think these bands are brilliant (yeah I know...how could I not like the misfits the first time??? ...I don't know either) I think alot of it has to do with how my idea of music constantly changes. Words like "good" and "bad" are useless to describe music. For me music is more about the emotions that each and every song brings. I had friend who said all music has a place and time and I've kinda taken that as my motto. I mean if I'm at a party with my friends im not gonna put on Tim Hecker. It doesn't work. They want something to dance to. So realizing that certain music has a place has helped me to latch onto music I might not normally listen to. So yes.

It can be related to eating food you don't like just in the hope that someday the taste of the food may change.

I wouldn't call it "work", but yes, I will give things a second chance. I've often liked something on the third or fourth listen that I did not like right away, especially if I'm listening to a genre I've never heard before.

if i don t like it i don t listen to it again.

I find certain types of music are definatly worth a second listening. Especially the classics and cultural music. On the other hand, if I hear it on the radio and hate it I am not likely to seek out the artists album.
