Most pop music, including rock, is very repetitive. Yeah, there might be a guitar solo in there somewhere, but unless the lyrics are really deep or really clever, there's not much else going on.
Good jazz, by contrast, is endlessly inventive, so it can hold your interest longer.
That said, I probably own roughly similar quantities of jazz and rock CDs (and a lot more rock LPs, because they partially predate my own shifting musical taste), and listen to both about equally. It depends on the mood.
