From what I've read, scientists speculate that music has had an intrinsic place in humanity for thousands of years. They think it may even have existed before speech. Then there's the fact that listening to music stimulates many parts of the brain at once, and that memorizing something to a rhythm and pitch helps you remember it better...
People like music for a lot of different reasons. Like other art forms, it makes people feel emotion, see things in a different way, or connect to something on a different level. No one really knows exactly why it can be so powerful.
I guess that just like not everyone likes other art forms, like painting, not everyone likes music. But it's just one of many ways that people express themselves.
