I am definitely in the same boat; there is a threshold somewhere after ~15 songs (?) that presents a new phase of listening potential / well-established likeness, probably dependent on the ratio of [liked songs:total music]. I think you can certainly claim likeness to artists of whom you only listen to a single or few songs, but really I believe (at least for artists that do in fact have a wider-ranging discography) that to articulate you "really like" them (as an artist), you need to listen to more and like more of their whole range of music. Otherwise, you "really like" a few songs by an artist, you probably don't "really like" that artist themself. Unless you know them personally or like them for some other reasons.
