I find that a lot of the music that I didn't like when it came out, I have come to appreciate a bit more, now. Not saying I like it or that I would make it a regular listen..... But I appreciate the effort that went into it. And this is especially true if I have a chance to see a live performance of the music by musicians on stage.

Nothing like seeing the musicians perform it live

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
