I agree with that completely - it's all about influences growing up, I think. Around my place, my mom listens to the classic rock station all day, but I fall asleep at night to an "oldies" station my grandfather listens to. However, as a kid I was listening dominantly to country music because that's what my dad enjoys, so I really got a little bit of everything from various influences. You just can't limit yourself; all genres have the potential for good and bad music!

Hey, but even if The Doors are giving you trouble right now, keep working at it. The Doors have some phenomenal guitar work in their music. If you keep practicing, and don't ever let yourself get discouraged because it sounds like music is your passion, then you'll get there! ( :

Oh, man! The Nutcracker is a Christmas classic! Tchaikovsky also did Romeo and Juliet, if I remember correctly. I had a music teacher in... it was either grade six or grade seven because she retired for grade eight and that year we did the entire history of The Beatles, haha! But the first teacher introduced us to all kinds of classical music by encouraging us to bring a pillow to class because we laid on the floor and closed our eyes and just listened to the music. That's where I first heard Tchaikovsky - and Pachelbel - and it's stuck with me ever since.

Hey, you might be an old soul, but you should embrace that. It doesn't make you a hipster - it makes you open-minded, and that's more than a lot of legitimate "old souls" can say, haha!
