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"?

Funny one guy said I would rather have root canal without a drug...lol...I had a dentist who said ,oh you don't need anything the root is dead....he started drilling and I jumped out of the chair...I was screwed up for a week...But I will listen to almost anything, well not rap a crapa until theres sexy girls dancing to it,but that's eye candy not ear ....lol....I'm 69 a rock and roller ,but I like  Classical, Progressive, Rythm and Blues ,Soul.I like playing movie sound tracks,the music.Play what you enjoy ,you sent plenty on your systems, enjoy them....but playing what I don't like to hear ? My grandfather used to tell me why buy a album ,when you can just turn the radio on...Grandpa died in 1982 he was 87...Fought in WW1 and WW2 in Navy,then joined the National guard and was sent to Germany when I was born in 1952...3 wars served.so I guess he like his music on the radio.lol..RIP Grandpa...11/11/1895

I listen to different things all the time. You can only watch the same TV show some many times. The same goes for music. Come Together, Whole Lotta Love, etc, just gets boring. I hated Sinatra as a child, and now I like his work, but I have gotten bored with it too, so I keep listening to things like the Koda Drums. If you enjoy it listen, don't worry about whether your feet tap or not if you find it interesting, and enjoy it.

...and sometimes I just stumble into things that impress me as to what a large group can make happen....
...and wish we could do something like that....

Take a couple of those Decware Pills mentioned elsewhere and all music will be cool.

I don’t think that anyone here doesn’t take into account the sound of his system when making a selection of what to play. And no matter what the musical content, the sound is important.   Having said that, if you make that selection solely on the basis of SQ, it’s certainly not going to be as fulfilling as with music you like.

‘Indeed, You appreciate your system and it’s qualities MORE with something you like.
