If you have to make an effort to like it, its probably not that good.

That's horrible logic. If I only listened to artists that gave me no challenges whatsoever I would be missing out on most of the music I listen to today. If I wasn't so nice I would have to call you an idiot.

I find that most bands that are easy get into lose their charm after awhile too, but some people like a challenge when looking for music and some don't so please chill out Ashley.

its not really logic but opinion. and backhanded insults are insults nonetheless. :crazy:

why should an artist "challenge" you? music is meant to inspire mood (among other things). I don't need to like a band or study them to make myself feel more intelligent. i guess it just really doesn't matter to me. I don't have to go on for hours about useless garbage when I can throw on some MC5 and go lift weights or run.

Its not that I want to dislike music the first time I hear it, but if you can't be patient enough to sit down and actually listen to an album 4 or 5 times to really apperciate it, then that's too bad for you.

If I wanted to listen to artists I only liked because they were catchy I would just turn on the radio.

I'm saying that not everyone listens to music for the same reasons.

I think they rock, they do have a very classic/bluesy sound. about his voice, i think it makes the band! it fits the style. so original
