Jazz listening has dulled my taste for Rock...you?

Since seeing Ken Burns Jazz series, and beginning to listen to, and appreciate Jazz... I find that I no longer find Rock music to be very interesting. Compared to Jazz, the music is BORING! The very best of Rock can still hold my attention a bit, but generally Rock is just too primitive and 'simple' compared to Jazz.
Classical music is so different, and has such different rules, that I still find it very appealing, but Rock... bleeh!!! (sorry Rock fans... and I'm not trolling, I really wonder if anyone else has had this happen!)

Whats rock? Does that include all of the great folk music from the 60's and 70's? Is it the stuff with Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Elvis, The Beetles,etc......I can still get into that. But you are right jazz is where its at, especially during an intermission of classical music. I'm not trolling either. :-)

I think what you've described is called - growing up.
Happy New Year!

Rock = exciting
Jazz = stimulating

I`d call it growing in a different direction. All types of music have their value- it seems to me. To simplify-
jazz= mind
blues= heart
rock= energy
classical= tradition and structure

I started shifting away from most rock about five years ago, I listen to Jazz or newage for the most part. I think it may be an age thing for me, I don't seem to relate to a lot of the rock songs the way I use to and the SPL's that bring rock alive give me a pain in the head. I use the lower half of my old rock speakers for subs most of the time.
