What was the most difficult artist or genre for you to acquire a taste for?

What was it that got you over the hump?
For me it was Frank Zappa. One night I watched the Classic Albums episode about Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe, then I was on board.

Artist - Bob Dylan
Took me a while to understand that his voice isn't about range but more about delivering his lyrics. Once I figured that out, I loved his music. I had to quit listening to the voice and start listening more to the words. It all connected at that point.
Genre - Psychedelic rock
I used to view this music as extremely weird and stupid. Once I heard stuff like Magical Mystery Tour, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Pet Sounds, etc. I changed my opinion.

Good topic and hard for me to answer.
Can't think of a particular artist so I'll go with soul music as a genre. I always heard it growing up on oldies stations but really started LOVING it about five years ago.
I have certainly "tried" to like bands and it didn't work (The Shins, Umphrey's McGee come to mind).

See this is one I feel a lot of people might say, but I was immediately drawn into his music.

My Bloody Valentine...thought it was too liud and noisy and too much going on.
Now, I know that just isn't true. They are one of my favorite 20 artists.

Same here, but after going through all the albums, I get it.
Genre-I would say MetalCore, I love the music, hate the screaming.

Same here with Rush. I don't know if I will, either, unless I somehow become a lonely, creepy-looking, middle-aged dude. You can't get your virginity back after you've lost it, can you? That appears to be a prevalent characteristic as well.

Prog rock. It's pretty much the complete opposite of what I like in music. I still don't listen to it or enjoy it, but I no longer want to stab people who do listen and enjoy it. Different strokes and all.
Though, ironically, I do like Yes, the proggiest of prog rock bands.

Captain Beefheart. Love it all now.

The genesis of this thread was the "Is Nickelback the worst band ever?" thread. I was going to suggest Captain Beefheart, but then I realized I may not have tried hard enough.
Similar cloth as Zappa, I suppose, but the line between seems blurry and real at the same time.

Took me awhile to get into Eyehategod and Sunn O))) but I listen to both fairly often now.

King Crimson. Most notably their early stuff.
I'd have to add The Mars Volta to the list also. I've just recently started listening to them and have to take it in small doses but I really like what I've heard so far.

Rock and pop from the 80's and 90's. At the time I guess I would listen to the stuff but never really had an appreciation for it. Going back there is some good stuff that stands the test of time and is still fresh today.

I have tried to aquire a taste for Tool..just isn't gonna happen.

Genre - I'm going out on a limb here as I'm not sure many of you will accept this as a traditional category of "Music". Dubstep. I'm a classic rock fan, I can hold a conversation with any LZ or Floyd virtuoso and I do enjoy listening to previously mentioned bands on here like Rush or Frank Zappa as well as prog rock bands like Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer (my opinion of the prog.iest band ever) but currently it seems like everyone my age [20ish] is caught up in all the hype around bass drops and 'rollin balls'.
Skiffle would be a close second though

I have a hard time acquiring a taste for modern day country music because it isn't very good :(
