| suppose you knew that if you listen to a certain track which you currently dislike.. say 3-4 more times and it would grow on you, perheps becoming one of your favorites - would you listen to it? or would you rather keep your first opinion of it? if the former - why? if the latter - why? |

a&b's tranquility base - surrender.
i first heard it on avb's universal live album.
listened to the album for a long time and it just fly by the song, no big deal.
one day i just really heard it and loved it as one of my favorites ever since. |

| yes, i like to give most tracks a second chance. not have to be directly but mostly like 1 to 3 months after the initial listen. sometimes you find tracks that you discarded months ago that will be that killer tune. i think generally it's how you listened to it the first time and in what context. the ear works in mysterious works |

It's happened to me before, but it happens less and less these days. When you're new to a genre or artist it can take a while to "get" it. |

i think you'd be kinda dumb to say no to that. i mean if you knew you would like something, why wouldn't you?
of course i don't really understand how that would come about because if you knew you would like it...why don't you like it now? |

because it's likely that your first impression is more 'objective' and/or accurate than the one you'd get after a number of listens. you might have found a specific 'justifiable' reason not to like it, which could be superseded by the familiarity that would set in.
edit: second sentence didn't make sense. |

| To tell you the truth, flame me all you want, but some of Tiesto's like "Traffic" and "Flight 643". At first I couldn't stand these tracks, way too repetitive and just annoying, but after a while, they grew on me and I winded up not hating them as much, but now i'm pretty much back to hating them, because I got sick of hearing them, but I don't listen to them that much anymore so i'm okay... |

If I don't like a vocal track first listen, I will always, always hate it.
Non-vocals usually 'grow' on me though... the subtle ones in which the intricacy and beauty can't really hit you the first time - classics such as Cafe Del Mar and Age Of Love for me, or the ones with a thumping bass in which the 'catchiness' takes a while for me to get and know how the track goes - tracks such as Der Scheiber, Lethal Industry.
It's a never a case of not liking them though, it's just a case of learning to love them. If I don't like a track first listen, I will never like it. |

Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso - Click
I'm used to them generating durty bassline stormers. This ones chilled and lets the strings do the talking. Took me a while to like it. |

The Killers - Mr Brightside (JLC's Thin white duke remix) - Heard it first and wasn't too impressed. Left it a few months, a mate played it too me, liked it more. Listened to it again the next day, loved it, bought it!
Sasha (with Holden) - Bloodlock. Heard it and wasn't hugely impressed. Possibly because I was expecting something absolutely huge from this collaboration. After a few more listens I loved it.
Ulrich Schnauss - On my own. Was used to Ulrich's beautiful ambient tracks then this dirty electro tinged thing happened. Once I got used to it and listened to it for what it was I liked it. |
