I'm not sure that's always true. Some of my favourite artists are ones that I really didn't get when I first heard them.
I remember being away from home for a few days in the late 80s and, having got bored with the few tapes I could carry with me I bought Husker Du's Zen Arcade, as I'd read a review of an album I liked that made reference to that one. On the first listen, I thought it was an absolute chaotic racket.
But having bought it, and not having much else to listen to, I played it through a few times and by the end of my trip I'd bought their next two albums. I'm pretty sure that had I had Spotify back then, I would have managed at most a couple of tracks before dismissing the album out of hand, trying something else and never listening to it again.
Don't get me wrong - instant access to most of the world's music is great. But unless you've got better willpower than I have, that access could easily result in you missing out on some of those harder to get into artists.
