I like almost all music. But then I was a music major for two years before deciding it was easier to play the radio than brass and strings. I wouldn't have backed percy's suggestion to learn about chord porgressions normally, but I find myself doing it in my head for almost any music I listen to.
My personal favorite is Herbie Hancock, not from the elctrified fusion stuff from the 80's, but back when he was with Blue Note. "Cantaloupe Island" and "Watermelon Man" are a very fun listening experience. Kind of a gateway drug.
If you want, read about some of the musician's lives. Most of them were fascinating.
