Your last sentence is interesting, Anthony. You are right. Often getting slowly into music is influenced by outer circumstances. There is an element of forcing myself to like certain music you don't get straight away.
This also is true for bands/artists I have loved in the past. Even if I don't like their new album I will listen to it more (to like it eventually) than to a newcomer band or even a band I used to dislike before.
