RE: Bizarre twist in musical taste (long)

I had a similar experience where I found myself getting tired of classical, but I realized that it was not the genre that was eating at me, but the selection choices. I was listening to very familiar pieces and compositions that were predictable. I discovered that I was in a place where I couldn't listen to any genre that was boring me.

I have always shunned traditional country and rap because it just bored me. When I was younger I didn't get jazz, but my tastes matured and like many I now love it. I realize now that I can listen to anything as long as it is (A) Original writing or a unique arrangement and (B) well performed. An audiophile recording is a plus, but I can get past bad recordings if the other two prerequisites are met.

These days I find myself seeking out artists I am unfamiliar with just to fight the boredom thing. I still have standbys that I have to listen to every once in a while, but mostly I need variety.
