I listen to most the music I like, but I recently listened to the "Sound Opinions" podcast in which they discuss "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. I like Pink Floyd, but because I've heard them so many times (even when I didn't want to), I've haven't listened to their albums much in the last 10 years. Aftering listening to the podcast I pulled "The Wall" out and found it to be as magical as ever. The same goes for their other albums. Sometimes taking a step back from something allows it to return with more power, if that makes any sense.
I also like a lot of jazz, but I find that I don't listen to it as much as I would like.
It's interesting that you mention "darkness". I find that even though I might really like some albums that are "dark", I don't listen to them as much because I use music to create a sense of peace. A perfect example is Nine Inch Nails. I really think "The Downward Spiral" is a great album and an excellent piece of work, but I personally don't feel the burden that that album expresses. I guess I'm just not "depressed" enough. ;)
