I find Indian music to be a challenge. I really have grown to like it- but in the beginning it wasn't a favorite of mine.

I think you might like the Crash Test Dummies. Not everything they do- but And God Shuffled his Feel you might like. You can give it a listen on Barnes and Noble- the lyrics crack me up:

After seven days
He ways quite tired, so God said:
"Let there be a day,
Just for picnics with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if you got your eye poked out in this life
would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
the people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So he said:
"once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air-
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them
the people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him, "I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear bout what you just spoke-
was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
the people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The problem, for me, with most American-style (or British-style) pop is that it is not musically challenging. And I don't even like the tunes!

Under the category "un chacun son gout", that is pretty much what I would say about most authentic folk music......
