When I was more your age, I also had relatively few favorites that stayed on top for years. Helloween, Ozzy, Megadeth, Metallica, No Doubt, Kylie... and that was about it. For a long time. Then, in my late 20's, I started expanding my tastes rapidly. These days I find a few new artists that blow my mind every year.
My theory is that you've got to lay some sort of groundwork first, where you just sort of learn to appreciate different kinds of things. Then you're going to be more open to the experiences you get. Some of the things I love today, I actually dismissed as boring years ago: Rickie Lee Jones, Carly Simon, Carole King... I had listened to all of them years ago and found they weren't my thing. Then I tried again earlier this year and... I love them!
So it seems that I just wasn't ready yet, back then.
