Sometimes it takes decades. I bought Stiff Little Fingers "Nobody's Heros" back in the early 80's and only listened to it a couple of times. When I was digitizing my vinyl collection some 20 or 30 years later, I couldn't believe that it wasn't one of my favorite albums. Pretty quickly bought everything in the catalog and am still listening to their new records.
