Mogwai (rock, favorite song, great song, single, genre)

It doesn't make you seem closed minded. Of course you shouldn't bother spending time listening to music you don't like.
Still, Mogwai *was* groundbreaking at one point (much so, in my opinion) but I can see how it would seem that they weren't if I had also listened to their whole catalog at once well after post-rock had become standard fare.
Not saying your experience would have been the same as mine if you hadn't done it that way. For me - a lot of my favorites took some time to grow on me.
