Stairway to Eleven Episode #18: Closer to the Heart

In this introspective episode of Stairway to Eleven, George, John, and TR dive into the artists they initially dismissed but eventually came to love. Or perhaps the opposite. From a teenage aversion to synth-heavy sounds to misjudged styles, the hosts share personal anecdotes about how their tastes evolved over time. They discuss what triggered these changes of heart—whether it was a live performance, a deeper understanding of the band’s artistry, or simply growing older and more open-minded. Along the way, they reveal which albums and tracks finally won them over (or drove them away) and reflect on the power of music to surprise and transform opinions.
