Is there a song that you never really cared for for awhile but then for no reason at all it started growing on you?
I know when you purchase a new album not many songs reach out and grab you but after listening to it 10 times(not in a row) you pretty much know which songs you like and which you don't care for.
At least once a month I pick up a song that I didn't care about for awhile but now has meaning and sounds great. Has anyone else done this?

Yes, is the simple answer. And lately it's "Big Yellow Taxi". Did Gordon ever do a cover of this in concert? I believe Bob Dylan did.

Yes! Any of the loud Hard Rock or Heavy Metal my long haired brothers played back in the late 70's & early 1980's! I could not stand it! Not just for the loud volume but some of it sounded scary and a lot of it was lyrically over my head,being under 13 at the time. After I got into my teens,I got to like it more when I listened to it at a normal volume. I never liked songs that told kids to basically,"ignore" your parents. I liked the music though. It's not really a big part of my collection but I have some. I've just never been a "head-banger". I'd have looked silly if I had tried to be. Any one song though? Not really. Been me,later!
