I disagree with that.
If I like something straight away chances are a few months down the line I get bored of it.
I much prefer it when I listen to something and have to work on it to appreciate it more. Makes me feel like i'm getting my moneys worth.
I first heard The Fall in 1995 and I hated them , now I love them dearly & would listen to anything of them I could can get my hands on , even really crappy sounding bootlegs.

I see what you mean. I guess it's different for everyone. I personally have never been able to force myself to like a certain artist, but I have noticed the trend of absolutely loving something when it first hits the scene and then hating it weeks later. That's why I don't go out and buy CD's until I've been listening for quite a while.
