An Acquired Taste

Do you like green olives? If you do, you probably didn't start out that way, but gradually developed a fondness for them over a period of time. Of course, the martinis may have helped. The green olive is definitely an acquired taste. I've found that the same thing applies to music. Songs that may not be appealing at first, may in fact grow on you over time. It is like the bitterness of the olive; it is something that you will eventually crave. When I am bored with the music on the radio, I crave dissonance and the offbeat. The best place to start is Captain Beefheart and that is where the list begins. Develop your musical palette by clicking here.
