Ever listen to music you thought you'd never like?

I actually am starting to get into this rapper called K-OS. Why? Because unlike the other idiot rappers, he doesn't need to curse like a sailor, sing about sex, or use a synthesiser for all the music. Makes his music appealing. Of course, I'm still debating on whether to stick with him, but I never thought I'd ever listen to rap. Ever.

Thoughts?

I used to think that death metal sucked but now I think it is good! =O

Well maybe if you listen to more rap artists, you'd realize it isn't all cursing and about sex. There are many talented rap artists out there.

As for me it would be death metal also; I used to think it was a disgrace to "real" metal music. How wrong I was:P.

Maybe a bit of Country.

Metalcore.

Yeah country a year or so ago. Now it's almost all I listen to besides classic rock.

I used to be a big metal elitist and now I listen to Deathcore.

i use to think death metal sucked, listened to it once, and realized its the worst music of all time. so in a sense yes i listened to it.

I never thought I would ever like rap or black metal, but I enjoy both.

Deathcore before I heard Born of Osiris.

Yes. I listened to Miley Cyrus thinking I'd never like it and surprise, surprise... I still don't.

Yeah, a few times.

Various types of metal..and "Gothic Rock"..

country NOT the new stuff its horrible

certain mainstream bands like red hot chillie peppers

Yes. I listened to Miley Cyrus thinking I'd never like it and surprise, surprise... I still don't.

MrsSolidSnake

Yeah Deathcore. Bring me the horizon is my favorite

Rap. Still sucks though.

Some part of me will never accept that I like eminem :|

Yes, and it mostly reminds me I was right to think I'd never like it.

kid cudi thought he was crap listened to the album agian and I liked it

ambient/experimental, used to think it was boring.

My thoughts too.

OP should listen to Aesop Rock and Roots Manuva.

Nope. I know exactly what kind of music is pleasing to my ear.

Not really, since I never thought there was a type of music I'd never like.

CBR600-RR

MF Doom is also a good choice

Firstly, there's plenty of rappers who don't do that. Secondly, his biggest reason for not cursing about sex and whatever is he is a (IIRC) Jehovah's Witness, and his faith is evident throughout all his music. Also, he's almost as much pop/rock as he is rap (he cites more influences from rock artists than rap).

So this title should really be "How has your music taste changed", huh? It's changed a lot in the past few years actually. I never thought I'd listen to metal, hardcore, country, or some of the more experimental and/or avant-garde stuff I listen to now. I also never thought I'd listen to rap again. Even today, I re-checked out an album by a now-defunct post-hardcore band (At the Drive-In) that a couple years ago I hated when I heard. Same thing with M.I.A. Hated Galang when I first heard it, now it's probably my favourite song off her debut. Even with artists I already loved; e.g. Bob Dylan, I first disliked "Love & Theft" and now I think it's really really great!

Paramore (I have no idea how the **** that happened D: )Darth-Caedus

Hey, watch what you're saying! My tickets arrived the other day, 16th December. :P

I never thought I would like King Diamonds vocals but after litening to them a few time I realised that HE IS AWESOME:twisted:

At The Drive in made really coarse music; tough to get into unless you were acclimated to the intensity of it, but once you were it's easy to see why they were given such acclaim. "Cosmonaut", "Hourglass", "One-Armed Scissor", "Hulahoop Wounds", "Shaking Hand Incision"...all excellent songs. :)Lockedge

I used to not like any rap at all, but after listening to Immortal Technique about a year ago, I like one rap artist.

Pink Floyd(most of their songs were boring to me at first, but I love them now! :o), Linkin Park, Creed, Skillet, and some metal(liked nu metal, metalcore, and thrash metal the first time I've heard it. :P) are all I can think of, atm.

if you told me i was going to be listening to metal 6 years ago i would have told you you were crazy

but here i am listening to metal

True, I'll never say Blood Brothers are easy to get into either XD Ah, Relient K. Good band, I suppose. Kinda mellow, relaxing stuff. Though the bands I look to when I'm wanting that style of music are Fleet Foxes, Timber Timbre and Beirut. :P Relient K kind of fell out of my loop.Lockedge

I love Fleet Foxes. Their eponymous debut was probably my favourite album for last year. Beirut is good stuff too. I keep Relient K in my library due to the nostalgia, mostly. They were back in my Christian Rock phase (which shows how my taste has changed).

Yes, cIassical music. And I'm sure glad I started listening to it now.

opera. oddly I discovered I like it.

I've been listening to Lady GaGa lately. And actually liking it as well. It's shocking to me. I usually can't stand mainstream pop music.

I used to hate trance, techno, all that stuff. But I heard the song Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk one day, and I love Daft Punk now.
