Well Sparky, I guess we can only agree to disagree about this. But I do feel you are depriving yourself of a heap of musical experiences and pleasures by adopting this mantra. For sure, there are some works that we all find too much work to persevere with so give up on them, probably too early.My experience over 6 decades of listening to music is that many (not all) musical items of immediate attraction become very boring on repeated listening, mainly because they, like the pop culture music around now, are shallow.
But, as stated before, music appreciation is very subjective so what appeals to one person may not appeal to another. It would be a very boring world if we all had identical tastes. However I do urge you to be more open minded and be prepared to give works that most people enjoy (but you do not at the moment) a second or third audition.
We are in a far better situation than those pre recording era music lovers who only had concerts as their musical source. We are in a position to be able to gain deeper appreciation through recordings works that previously only artists were familiar with. To not take advantage of the power of recordings for further emjoyment of unfamiliar works which do not immediately appeal to you (but do appeal to others) is a lost opportunity.
