Usually the albums that knocked me down at 1st hearing(Wish You Were here,Oxygene,Equinoxe)  remained my favorites along the years, but I always give a 2nd and 3rd chance, especially when an album or band is highly appreciated.In jazz sometimes I need even more listens to get into an album.

Part of it might be getting used to their sound or style which can take time to appreciate. I'm curious though if anyone else does this.

An old music  teacher of mine used to call that "dropping it in to your blood system" - it takes a while for it to circulate!

Years back I puchased Magma's live Köhntark disc (because the cover was cool) and hated it.  I tried to sell it at another store and they wouldn't buy it from me - told me it was a great album and I'd love it.  I'd taken their recommendations before and they'd been right on.  It took two years before I saw the light - but it became the cornerstone of my whole Magma collection.  I find if I really don't like something, that's what I need to hold on to.  Something in it is affecting me, and that's what art is supposed to do.  It's the ones that bore me immediately I can usually get along without.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.
