Engine, your story is somewhat similar to mine. I discovered Mr. Bungle and hated it, but still wanted to listen to it again for some reason until I eventually loved it. After that came a long period of me only listening to avant-garde bands. I guess you could say I was kind of pretentious about it, I still don't like how I limited myself soley to experimental music. But I think I was just so surprised by there being so much more to music then I thought before. As of about half of a year ago, though, I expanded my tastes to pretty much all other forms of music. Experimental music still makes up a large part of my tastes though.
