I threw away Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on the Radio. I tried so hard to like it. Friend had it in a party a year later and it clicked. Now it is epic for me.

I also find I get bored of songs I instantly like easier than the ones that take time.

Excellent example. Also, some things need to be shown to us—we have to hear them in a context, or through someone else’s eyes (ears). Then the hook gets set and it’s part of you, too.
