Listening to music I don’t particularly like

Do you find yourself listing to music you don't particularly like because it sounds so good on your system? If I'm honest with myself I am an old dude who grew up with classic rock and really enjoy it but a lot of it was not well recorded. So I find myself listening more and more to other genres of music that I normally wouldn't  just because they sound so good on my system. I don't know what this says about me, maybe I am more of an "equipmentphile" than a music lover? I keep listening to music ranging from classical to vocal jazz to country and I love the sound of it  but it doesn't get my toes tapping like a good old rock song from my youth. I was even listening to Chinese drums today. Is there hope for me? Will I ever ever enjoy this music as much as I enjoy the "sound"?

I’ve found that if a change in my systems gets me listening to, and enjoying, music I’m less fond of, or don’t usually listen to, that’s a good sign.


Have you you ever found yourself being drawn into and enjoying live music, when it’s a type or style that you’re not normally into? Shouldn’t a really good system be able to do that, as well?
