Loving a band after hearing one song is like loving an author after reading one series, amirite?

What if the author only wrote one series?

How is one song equal to a whole series of books? Worst analogy I've ever heard.

JK Rowling, anyone?

What if the author doesn't write series to begin with?

Basically, this analogy would have worked better if you had said "one book" instead of "one series."

It would have worked better, but still wouldn't be a good analogy. Reading a whole book, and listening to a 3 minute song are very different.

(ASWCC):"what the hell is it with all these what if's?" then you go on to start your reply with "if". . .

You're just mad because you can't defend yourself.

And what's your point? It only takes one song to know if you like them or not. And chances are if you really love the song.. You really love the band too.

More like one chapter...

Just like how saying you like an actor only after seeing the side of their penis in a sex tape is like saying you like a TV show after only seeing a season of it.

if they're the kid of person that makes sex tapes then i probably wouldn't like them anyway

I'd say it's more like loving an author after reading a single chapter. I'd compare a series to hearing a delux version of an album (the original being more comparable to just one book), as well as both live and acoustic (and possibly demo or remixed) versions of the songs.

If you read a series by an author you have every right to say you love that author.

It doesn't really seem like authors usually write too many series. It's either one or two series or a bunch of standalone books. A better comparison would be one song=one book or one album=one series.

I think the analogy is perfectly fine, except that 'series' should be 'book'. A lot of authors and bands like to write/perform books/songs with many different feels and textures, so to say. To only get a taste of one slice of it isn't really sufficient to gush over how much you like the author/band.

you probably the only person who voted yes. Thx

I can love an author after reading one book. Definitely one series. And I can tell if I like a book by the first chapter, usually.

And why not? If either of them put out material I enjoyed, why can't I say I like them?
