My guess is that you are completely stuck in your head and that you enjoy music on an intellectual level only.
It seems to me that a lot of people who are into classical music seem to be this way, extremely intellectual and analyzing music as they listen to it. They reject popular music and say that it is inferior. This of course comes from the mind/ego.
Funnily enough to me it seems that a lot of people who are into popular music, like R'n'B and stuff, enjoy music only on a "social conditioning" level, i.e. "Will my friends think I'm cool if I have this song on my iPod?"

Two sides of the same coin.
To me, the heart and soul is where we transcend all of this and actually begin to feel music, truly enjoying it for what it is.

I wonder if Mr. Psychology here can realize his superiority complex. . .
Anyway, you're just making assumptions that, well, just plain aren't true. Music can evoke emotions from people for sure, but that really just, uh, proves nothing. It doesn't mean that Bach's music is more "emotional" and therefore superior to Mozart's, or vice versa. Bach's music is music, just as Gwen Stefani's is.
And frankly, I'm a bigger fan of Stefani. Take that.
