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.
have never been into Rush. Tried my best. Just can't.
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.

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".
