I have thought about why I can pick up something I have never heard before and love it and why other things take time, and why there are just some albums I will never be able to truly appreciate.
I think it has to do with your own measurements of aesthetics, your nurture/nature as argued earlier as well as by Kant (philosophy), and then also it kinda has something to do with your connection with that music.
Britney Spears is a perfect example. I hated her when she first came out, but now that I am older and that was part of my past (whether I like it or not), I have some kind of appreciation for it.
So- if an artist/album is against your aesthetics, nurture/nature, and you have no connection with it otherwise, most likely you won't be able to enjoy it as much.

This right here. I base my favorites on how much they effect me.

Well. I don't really agree with that. But to each his own I guess.

I love all the responses so far  They have been a great read and very inspirational! Welll done!
I will put some more thoughts down later. Not at this hour, they are spinning around half formed. Got to sit them down and explain what I want them to do. I will then share them with you. Great writing I have got from this thread
