Most people feel comfortable with the familiar.
If a new song sounds like something you've heard and liked before, there's a good chance you'll like it. I'm afraid I'm not like that. Perhaps that's why I'm so darn hard to please. I liked Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels , Guy Ritchie's first production, so much so that I purchased it for my private collection. Maybe if I hadn't already seen Lock, Stock twelve times, it would have been less obvious to me that Snatch was a near replica of it.
