I have albums lying around I played like twice when I bought them and then was like 'nah son wtf is this shit?'. Years later I fish the album out of the depths of my closet out of curiosity or more often out of sheer boredom, throw it on and after a listen or two I start liking what I hear.


Going on that experience when I buy something and don't like it these days I just continue listening stubbornly until I like it lol. What I do now too that I didn't use to is buy a live album of a band if I didn't like the studio album or comp I bought. I used to not really fuck with live albums like that but these days they really help me get into bands.


I'm now spending quite a bit of time trying to get into Marillion for example.


lol sorry for the lengthy diary entry


so, do you give up quickly on music you don't like or do you return to it on a regular basis to give it another chance? any such bands?
