Should I like this music?

All of these artists I have heard of, but have not actually listened their music; am I missing something? Anything?

That is, the music I am supposed to like and enjoy, if I am in the know. If I am connected.  If I have been paying attention.

I have the Beatles. What more do I need?  This was the music I grew up with.  The songs that replaced Elvis in my sparse youthful music repertoire.

Is that new jazz really good? or do the discordant notes in my ear really mean this is a poor example of real music. Does it mean that I really don't need to show my cool and entertain this art, if it really is art?

I have thought about this for some time.  With music, painting, drawing, sculpture or any of the so-called arts, am I looking at artistic rebellion, shock value, or just plain lack of talent?  Lately I have been noticing that a lot of music is boring and repetitive.  The 15 minute guitar solos of the past are tedious and yes, boring. The honking sax and bleating trumpet noodleings of unheard jazz do not offer any reason to sit and listen.  No hooks to take me musically on a journey.  My choice of music has become sparse. It takes a wonderful song to catch my ear.

I have decided it is a waste of time to sift through Zappa, Dylan, Pink Floyd, Miles, Coltrane and yes, even the Beatles.  Scouring obscure no talent blues, rock, soul, classical, hip-hop, county, punk, metal and 21st century electronic cookie cutter music has become a waste of time.
