I agree! My rule is, generally, if someone likes it there’s something about it worth liking. I can’t always find that thing (sometimes for genetic reasons, like cilantro and, I suspect, very hoppy beers), but I’m always willing to try.
This isn’t only true of food, by the way. Music is another place this is true. If you can find why people appreciate a type of music, you can usually learn to appreciate it even if you didn’t at first.

Heh, broadly I agree. I think I know what people like about it: very familiar sound, chord progressions, themes. But to me it mostly sounds pretty much the same.
That said, some of what it finds its roots in is worth hearing. Bluegrass, southern rock, etc.

Will accept. He and Dolly Parton are the exceptions to the rule.

Gonna have to suggest adding Willie Nelson to this list.
I’m sad my distaste for country kept me from discovering Stardust until I was well into my 40s…
