Music some of us liked from the start (4)
I believe the answer is:
soul
'music' is the definition.
(type of music)
'some of us liked from the start' is the wordplay.
'from the start' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'some of us liked' is 'SOUL'.
(Other definitions for soul that I've seen before include "Music genre; human spirit" , "Essence" , "Spiritual part of a being" , "Psyche" , "Immortal spirit; music style" .)
