Like I said in another thread, it can take several listens, and it really helps if you start with looking at artists you like, and seeing who they liked and/or were influenced by. It can take several degrees of separation, and the more successful hits, the broader your interests can become.
Like, for instance, you like the Beatles, so you look at artists that influenced them. Then you get into Elvis, and his early Sun recordings, and then you look at other Sun Records artists who worked with Elvis around that time, and then you get into Johnny Cash, and before you know it, you're more open to country music than you used to be. And for classical music, one of my biggest gateway hubs was, of all people, Glenn Gould (and, to a lesser extent, Stanley Kubrick), so you end up with a listener who listens to a lot of Baroque and modern classical music. Also, classical.net, which has a good selection of starter classical pieces.
