I think there are simply very different thought processes/mindsets going on here, and that's just the way it is. Nobody's going to "make" anyone like something they don't already, not at our ages (though certainly tastes can change- mine do continually as my knowledge of music increases). But nothing wrong with trying to be open-minded. (Am I being too "banal" here? :-) ) Musical styles are just different kinds of tools composers use to accomplish their goals, and not everyone likes all those tools.
