I do, however, respect the genius required for the most high level of creation of any kind, music is no exception.

Is it that way with all music for you?
I am not a very huge listener anymore, but when I am in the mood I can listen to music all day and do nothing else really. Unfortunately I rarely have the time to do so anymore :(.
If I may give advise to you: Enjoying music is something that can be learned just like enjoying other forms of art. And learning to enjoy it can be a very rewarding thing to do!

I can enjoy music, but it is in a merely analytical way, much in the same way I enjoy the visual arts. I do find some sounds, tastes, smells, textures and visuals pleasant or unpleasant, but beyond that, rarely is a strong emotional response evoked. I examine, analyse in order to enjoy. Left-brain, right-brain.

That's okay, musicians are often like that, too, or are perceived as such. You may be one of the rare examples of non-musicians, who are that way. Maybe you are just a very analytical person ;D.

Yup.

"Music, I regret to say, is only an arbitrary succession of more or less unpleasant sounds."
-Vladimir Nabokov
I don't happen to agree with the guy but I love that quotation.
