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".

Well Pearl Jam. Ten was all around me, it was good, but it never was enough to hook me into buying the cassette at the time, cd was out,but still not my number one format due to price. I was phasing out of hair metal thank God, months/year later I heard Evenflow at the record store and it was like a breath of fresh air, a sound that was not like anything else out there and I bought Ten on the spot....never looked back. Resisted the Seattle sound at first, felt like Nirvana were wannabes, Soundgraden was the most appealing due to their heavier riffs and sound.
