My angle, perhaps blending previous views. Often, recordings that I have acquired to try (curiosity, recommendation, etc) do not initially meet with my approval; that is, I don't care for them! However, if the recording is outstanding in some way, I am motivated to listen again for that reason and often learn or grow to appreciate or even like the album. :)
Quality of recording vs Musical tastes
How many of you have ended up "expanding your horizons" musically simply because:
A) you were tired of the poor recordings that "popular music" typically has to offer ?
OR
B) you bought something because it was a known good recording even though you don't normally listen to that type of music ?
I have to say that i am "guilty" on both counts and glad of it.
Before you start nodding your head in agreement, how about passing on some of the "gems" that opened your eyes to a "whole nother world" and how you ended up selecting them. Sound like a way to share some good yet "hidden" music ??? I hope so : ) Sean
