Fucking hell, I'm like the only guy giving any consistently lengthy explanation to my choices here; & you are splitting hairs over a few words.
To be clear(er):
My comment regarding how little I'd listened to Black Market (besides a statement of fact), was meant to be a nod-of-the-head to the point Flash (& others, including myself) have made, or alluded to; namely that slow-growers &/or slower songs &/or progressive songs, etc --are going to struggle here (& have), if people have never hear them before, & have only heard them once. You can't get away from the fact that songs that are instantly accessible &/or listenable to are always going to be favoured over "difficult" songs that people haven't heard before. Have you've never got tired of an album/song that was initially really listenable to & vice versa? I can't turn back time to the first time I heard Summer Song. And I can't judge Black Market after 10-20 listens, unless I listen to it that many times over the next couple of years, & then get back to you. Viewing songs/albums through the prism of time & how much I've listened to them is unavoidable, for me.
No. Where exactly did I say this? I can see where you're coming from, but "Hence my vote" was in reference to all of what I'd previously said. Why would it have applied to that final sentence only?*scratches back of head* Hang on. You listened more often to a song, thus it is your favourite? Is that all the reasoning there is behind your vote?
To be clear(er):
Forget the "hence my vote" bit....with the obvious qualification that I've only listened to Black Market twice (ever) & having listened to Summer Song many times before. Maybe if I listened to Black Market more times & it had time to grow on me (i.e. it had been given the same amount of listens as Summer Song) then my view would be otherwise.
I'm not entirely sure, beyond being mischievous, what point you're making here.If yes, that would rule out discovering new music which in theory could be more appealing than a song you've heard before. Like this, can you listen to the songs with your volume on zero since for you it's only about quantity of listening, not about anything else?
