^ yep

if my heart isn't enjoying it...it is my head telling me I shouldn't like it

if my heart is enjoying it..  my brain is somewhere else and is sure as HELL not thinking about music...

Don't let others guilt trip you into not liking what you like, whether you know them personally or not.  If you dig it, you dig it.  Both head and heart are yours, not anybody else's.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Is it wrong for me to like "Can't stop this Feeling Anymore" by REO Speedwagon--don't owe it but blast it when it comes on the radioLOL

it is never wrong to like music - including the latest iteration of Yes.

One example for me of my head saying no and my heart saying yes is Rhapsody of Fire. Power of the Dragonflame is just downright hilarious and everything in my mind tells me it is absolutely stupid and ridiculous but... I can't stop liking it. It's so amazing. So much insane shredding and over the top themes. My heart just goes "YES" and I can't stop listening.

Furthermore, if you've ever seen their interviews, they are actually that cheesy as people and they try to speak to the heart anyway.

"We want to inspire people with our music to reach into their own souls and find the Power of the Dragonflame that burns within their hearts" How can you not love that?

Other bands that give me this feeling:
Chvrches
Abba
Almost any european electro pop basically
Most symphonic power metal
Most straightforward brutal grind death metal
Alice in Chains, Nirvana's Nevermind (not In Utero, that actually makes my brain happy too), pretty much most 90's alternative metal
Any music that makes me want to dance that I don't like.
Most music that I hate when I'm sober but love when I'm inebriated- because that means I'm too inebriated to analyze the music.

In short, I have music analyzing problems. I can't wait to grow out of it. Or maybe grow into it MORE. Who knows?

I'm not saying you have to like them, I'm saying that there's nothing wrong with other people doing so.

In my case, it's The Wildhearts.

Absolutely not my usual style of music, but the second I hear "Top of the World" or "Vanilla Radio", I forget all my inhibitions and get the air guitar out to riff like a complete maniac.

If I ever listen to the whole of "The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed" in one go, I will have a coronary without any doubt. It may be classed as "rubbish" by some, but it's bloody good fun.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.
