First category: Music that I instantly like. I hear it and feel like I've known it forever.
Bands/musicians in this category: Nick Drake, Kings of Convenience, Feist.
Possible pitfalls/outcome: This music could stay on my playlist for awhile (Nick Drake) or I may find myself quite bored with it suddenly (Feist). Kings of Convenience is yet to be determined.
Second Category: Music that grows on me over time through exposure and sometimes, quite honestly, hard work.
Bands/musicians in this category: Beastie Boys, Tom Waits, Nirvana
Possible pitfalls/outcome: Sometimes it turns out that what I thought was like turns out to be appreciation (Beastie Boys) or my like is deep and enduring (Tom Waits, Nirvana).
People can sometimes fall into the same categories.
