Yeah that's how I am too. I'll like anything, no matter how complex or simple, as long as it does something for me. I almost never know what that something is, but complexity is rarely a factor. As far as I know, it's simply enjoyment from listening to it. Every now and then I'll listen to the local Classical/Jazz station (Classical in the day time, Jazz at night) and I enjoy most of it, it's just a matter of liking it enough to seek it out. That's very, very rare.
