Ever just find yourself becoming mildly, or not so mildly obsessed with music that you at one point swore you would never get into/
as I'm going through the arduous, but extremely fun task of rebuilding my music collection. I find myself gravitating toward all this indie/baroque pop stuff that -as I recall- a year ago I was seriously flaming folks about on this very forum.
Does this happen to anyone else?
 
I don't consciously think that I won't get into any music and i listen to everything anyhow but i do find myself appreciating genres a little more. I used to hate Jangle Pop, but the C86 comp and The Primitives have swayed me a little.
 
This past year I have been obsessed with country music, since I was given "Horse Solider! Horse Solider!" by Corb Lund and "Arabassador" by Elliott BROOD I cannot get enough of this genre.
 
I never thought and i'd like metal or dance or country and i stereotypically hated pop but i erabrace it now. If i'd have known the likes of noise rock existed i'd have dismissed that too. You learn more as time passes, jazz is next on my list.
 
Ha! I knew that would come back to bite you on the ass...

in answer to the thread yes loaRAB. But I think open-mindedness is just a by-product of being obsessed with music in the first place. Oh and the internet



i call gay on that :D

but seriously

I'm developing a bit of a taste for more electronic-orientated music after listening to banRAB like CSS, MGMT, New Order and M83.
 
Not a particular genre, but both NIN and Marilyn Manson took forever to grow on me. Slightly odd since they're about as mainstream as you can get for the style and I've always liked industrial rock.
 
i can definitely relate, ha, i felt the same about indie actually. and country. and rock. (i was sippin' on that haterade obviously) but then you hear that one song that's appealing to you from that genre, and then you try and find more similar to it, then all of the sudden you begin to appreciate the genre as a whole.

happened to me with rock and indie, and now i love both rock and indie music.
i'm beginning to appreciate country. little by little. ;)
 
This is a thread about opening ones mind. I have yet to hear a genre of music that does not have something to offer. It is great to see that so many people can get past their preconceived bias.
