How many listens does it take you before you know if you like a song?

Depends on the song. Some songs I'll need to digest over a couple of listens, sometimes I'll dive right in the first time. I think there are different qualities that ultimately grab me at different speeds, and some take a little time. Makes me think of when I first got into Elliott Smith. I got XO as the first record of his that I owned and there were 4 tracks that I knew I liked, and liked an awful lot right out of the gates, but about half of the record I just didn't get. It was just a little off to me, but I grew to really love all of those songs after about the 4th or 5th time through (I'm very grateful that I liked the other songs as much as I did). Now it's a top ten record of all time for me.
