This is interesting. I'm sure we all have bought music that was recommended
by friends, is critically acclaimed, or is just somehow something we're
"supposed" to like, but it just doesn't do it for us.  But how many of us do
what Judith has done with Beefheart--keep the music around and periodically
take another run at it?

Well, me, for one. It eventually worked with Joy Division. But I'm still
waiting for the epiphany that will get me through an entire Nick Cave album.

Anyone else?
