When I was super-depressed, I had this very long, high-speed commute and would think about driving into a bridge embankment all the time. I started listening to Bach keyboard pieces. Found them very engaging. Once I was on a long drive with my husband and he wanted to put on some music (couldn't find any radio stations). The only things I had were the Bach CDs. My husband has never listened to classical music in his life. But he loved it. I explained what a fugue was and pointed out the voices in all these complex three-part inventions. He got really into it.
Sometimes I'll listen to something by Mozart and get very bored by it. He wrote a lot of junk. But I don't think I have ever heard anything by Bach that I didn't enjoy hearing.
