Do you like bands straight away??

It takes me a while to really like a band.
A lot of the bands I listen to now I hated when I first heard them!!
I remember about 10yrs ago this girl was wearing a RHCP t-shirt & I was dissing her for liking them, but now I really like them.
Its funny how your tastes change over time

Forums: The Bar,

MC Hammer is still cool...'Can't touch dis boom boom boom boom' :oP

Do you like bands straight away??... only the good ones

i liked green day straight away!!!

so did i... still do

green day is great.

do you not find with some bands it takes a few listens to get into them, then you can not understand why you didn't love them to start with.

For me, blindmelon was pretty cool, but then after a couple listens I was completely turned onto them, and they have been one of my fave bands for many years. Sometimes (most of the time) with one listen I can't pick up everything going on in the song.

Ohhh... Blind Melon, hooked after i heard 'Toes across the floor' still reminds me of sad times...

Yeah, I saw green day in LA about 9 years ago and thought they were great straight away, and much like AC/DC and G'n'R they're a band that I can listen to any time, no matter what mood i'm in...I guess it just puts my head back to good memories of a great time.

Other bands have grown on me over the years that I never used to dig, probably the best one like that for me is Frank Zappa, my older brother used to thrash it and I though it was too weird, but luckily i've grown to appreciate the amazing versatility and quirky humour.

I think I pretty much know after two or three listens whether I like a band ... I can't remember changing my opinion on one i disliked, anyway.

I've definately started to hate bands I thought I liked though.

lena is perfectly right.. when I think of bands I've first heard and gone "woah!", the list is my faves of all time heh (ie; Devo, Pere Ubu, Fugazi, Moog Cookbook, Can, Kraftwerk, DJ Shadow.. etcetcetcetc.)

I liked limp bizkit when they first came out. Then i realised how crappy and shitty and faggy they really are!!!!!

the irony there is that fred durst is a complete homophobe

every band i've ever disliked i've eventually come to like or slightly appreciate...I remember buying my first metallica tape and seeing a soundgarden tape and thinking to myself "soundgarden?!! thats the last band I'll ever get into!!" A couple years later bought badmotorfinger when it came out and loved it!!!

even thinking those thoughts about soundgarden, why I ort to, grr!

I don't really like sound garden myself. But Audio slave is okay

yes, it is funny how tastes change, however they have definitely changed for the worst in your case mr drummer.

welcome back mr hudson

shut up Hudson, Flea will smack u silly with his bass!

that should be "slap you silly" - more appropriate
