The music that you listen to doesn't "all sound the same". But in the grand sonic scale of music, it's pretty stylistically similar stuff.
Again, I'm not criticizing your tastes, so there's no need to get defensive.
You basically function within a musical microcosm whose parameters are defined by your own narrow tastes; discovering and coming to appreciate unfamiliar music is daunting, and it isn't always as immediately gratifying as you'd might hope.
But yeah, obviously it's "your right" to only listen to the few bands that you enjoy. Still, if you met a gamer who ONLY played, say, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest and proclaimed all other games to not "be to his tastes" etc, etc, wouldn't you want him to experience a broader range?
