how many songs to say "I like this band"

[gamblore99]

A nitty question, but it has been bugging me sometime. Is there a consensus on what it means when someone says they like a band? How much music do you assume they have heard when they say this?

Im gonna say 3. I just got a bunch of stuff by the 5678s and I only like 2 or 3, but I cant say I like the band. the songs i like I really like, but the rest I really dont.

If they can get through a random cd of a band, I'd say they like 'em....depends on what you would call "liking".

You have to like at least one CD from start to finish.

I disagree, especially if the band has multiple cds there is no issue with not liking one entirely. I'd probably say you have to really like 3ish songs and then have a strong liking for their style in general.

You have to really like a couple songs, and be able to listen to an entire CD.

I like this. There are many performers with good songs spread over otherwise crappy albums that you never listen to in their entirety. Especially with iPod and eveything. Those bands are out.

99.9% of people in this world will do nothing to give you any personal joy. 1 great song is enough to like a band. Not go see them in concert or buy a box set but enough to like them.
