Subject: Do/Did you like many songs the first time you hear/heard them?
Written By: ADH13 on 09/09/05 at 1:33 am
I was just curious if I'm the only one... I will almost never really like a song the first time I hear it. Songs usually have to grow on me, either by hearing them enough times on the radio or a jukebox, or from being around someone who listens to them alot.

Most songs usually grab me straight away, others take a few listens (Especially the likes of Pink Floyd for example)

yeah,i'm the same as you,Luke..especially if they've 'got a good beat' and are 'easy to dance to' :D'
seriously,though,i usually can tell at first listen whether or not a song appeals to me in a major way :)

I wish I could do that. Sometimes I want to download stuff.. like that New Orleans song you told me about, GRS... but I know I will have to listen to it a bunch of times before I can really decide if I like it.
There have been exceptions though. The few times I liked a song the first time I heard it, it usually turned out to be one of my all time favorites.

For me, it was the 1983 song Subdivisions by RUSH.  I just can't stand RUSH, but I figured they are Canadian, I am Canadian, they must have 1 song I like, and thanks to K-Tel's Rock '83 LP, Subdivisons kind of grew on me :)
I listened to it so much, I kind of still like it.  Rush - great one hit wonders  ;D

Closer To The Heart
Tom Sawyer
Subdivisions

In general, sure RUSH had alot of hits. I know what they all sound like, but since I only liked Subvisions, my mind blocks out all the other ones LOL :)

Slow songs definitely take time for me to like, alternative rock too.

Usually, I won't like a song, but I'll listen again later, and I love it. "Robert Dye" by Momus and everything by Neutral Milk Hotel became some of my favorites this way.

There are some songs that grab me the very first time I heard it, others it takes a while to grow on me.

I have the perfect example for you..
When i was about 7.. My uncle came over to England and as always bought lots of CD's with him.
Now, my parents have.. no, i wont lie, they have sheesh taste in music. So, it was always nice to hear something new.
He happened to have a little CD with him called 'Nevermind' i think we all know who recorded it.
Anyway, first track, i was hooked.
Same with the Black Album, it was the first i heard, in fact i believe it was Enter Sandman at a fairly young age, and that was it.. it was like.. WOOOAH!

It all depends. Most of the time songs grow on me, though.

It takes me a while before the songs I listen to get used to me.
