    Yes (the band):  I couldn't get into them at all at around the time I first got into "real music". But not too long after I saw Yessongs(the movie) on TV (I think USA Network) and I was sold. Steve Howe is a good guitarist. I've seen them in Concert quite a few times and recently saw Jon Anderson solo show.

    The Clash: I saw them as one o the openeing bands on The Rolling Stones tour, but I did not like them at the time. Punk/Combat Rock didn't do anything for me at that time. Of course, years later I started liking The Clash. I wish I did when I saw them on that Tour because that was the only time, I saw them in Concert.

    Person with ears here. I CANNOT stand Rush. I don't even try to understand them anymore, because Geddy's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I don't care how good their drummer is. Sorry, had to purge. No offense to you Rush fans out there! I probably like plenty of music that would make your ears bleed.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2

    On the other hand, it would be kind of cool to have put a younger Geddy Lee and Robert Plant in a small room and made a record of the two of them having a screaming contest.

    Too funny. Plant was the reason it took me so long to get into Led Zeppelin. I definitely appreciate him now.

    My musical tastes change with the seasons. Naturally.

    In one of his several books, Henry Rollins talked about that- how certain music appeals to him more by season.   
    I thought about that a few months ago when I was looking at the three albums I have by The Baseball Project.  I realized I hadn't listened to any of them for awhile.  But in the winter, listening to an album of songs that are all about baseball?  "Nah," I said, "That will have to wait until spring."

    that's always been a thing with me. Winter is the only time I listen to metal. Summer is the only time I listen to someone like Xavier Rudd. Otherwise it feels out of context for me. 

    any time a friend would bring music to the beach and blast Metallica it would totally trigger me. I'm like "dude, read the room".
