As for jazz, yeah I dislike it too. I find it overpretentious, meandering and boring. It freezes my soul. And yes, I'm aware of the irony of being a prog rock fan and talking about wandering, pretentious music (!) but jazz just does nothing for me. I think it's fair to say that I can envision anyone having a problem with any genre of music, so I can't subscribe to your notion that no-one could dislike jazz. There are loads of forms of music I dislike, for instance punk, reggae, a lot of soulless pop, a lot of country.... |
If you want to understand the inspiration behind any organ/keyboard solo in 70's Prog or Hard Rock, listen to Jimmy Smith. To me there's nothing pretentious about him - he's the genuine article, the real McCoy.

If you really want to immerse yourself into the world of Pop music the best place to start is to just listen to this song over and over and over and over again 'til it doesn't make any sense any more.
