But only up to a certain point?
fiction-factory’s thread below about Queen got me thinking about this.
I like all their albums up to and including Night At The Opera, but none of them after that.
Only yesterday I put Kacey Musgraves first 2 albums on a memory stick for my DIL, and told her there is a third, but I deleted it because I don’t like it, no matter how hard I try.
When she releases another album, I wont be bothering with it.
I only liked Genesis after Phil Collins became frontman - Trick of the Tail and Now we are Three are all time favourites of mine that I still play all the time. Similarly Fleetwood Mac after the Stevie Nicks line-up and Doobie Brothers after the Minute by Minute album.
I loved Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac but the later incarnation of the band [which was completely different] left me cold. I can appreciate the latter produced good quality music well written but it's just not the type of music I choose to listen to.
Jethro Tull were early favourites of mine but then they went too 'folksy'.
I remain a Bowie fan but wasn't too keen on his Thin White Duke period.
You know Jim I play it all the time in the car and have done for years but not from it's CD case and always have a problem remembering the exact title. Before posting I put 'genesis now we are three' into google search and as that came up straightaway as top result I didn't bother to check it :-) Of course now I have that result opens wiki with 'and then thee were three'
I'm really surprised that you don't like, e.g. "Selling England by the Pound", though. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway I could understand, though, as that's quite different from anything else they recorded.
