Dislike becomes love

Ok, i got a question: why is it that some of my favourite songs were actually my least favourite when i first heard them?

For example, when i first bought the album Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden, the only song i really liked was  Outshined. My least favourite song was Jesus Christ Pose. At the time i couldn't hear the rhythm in the song and it

Hey, the same thing has happened to me a countless number of times. Like when I first heard Nevermind, I didn't like a few of the songs on it: Breed, Territorial Pissings, Stay Away... And I absolutely love those songs! Usually I know whether or not I'm going to like the song after about 3 listenings. But I think I can attest my case to shifting musical tastes, definitely.

yeh, i think it makes sense that you have to listen to a song a few times before you really start to like it. and then you can't stop listening to it. i think the same thing happened with 'Burden In My Hand' Though there are of course also the ones which blow you away the first time you hear them :)
Maybe your music taste changes because of those songs?

Maybe. I know I didn't like Burden in My Hand that much either when I first heard it. That's such an awesome song!
