So the planets have to grow on you to like them?
That it correct. Jupiter is pretty easy to appreciate. But Saturn and Neptune take a while to get used to. Those two and Venus are my favorite songs ever.
Ouch...You see, to me, that's like stabbing myself until I don't feel pain anymore...
When I first started out with classical, all I liked was the Requiem and that has a certain catchy value. I had to teach myself how to listen carefully, and even now there are things I don't listen to very well because I'm confused or distracted by it.
So I've always though becoming more closely acquainted to what I'm listening to will be good before I judge it. And so I ended up hailing JS Bach as one of the greatest geniuses of music I've ever heard, when at first I thought his music was kinda
"performing monkey for the aristocracy".
He has a special place with me now. So it's definitely worth it sometimes.
