You see now, the difference with classical music...listening to 'classical' (totally erroneous name) means you can, in time and with experience, determine the 'style'.
Same with jazz more or less.
There isn't a determined 'style' in pop music..
perhaps you might determine the era or decade in which it was written, mostly by the quality of the recordings. or the addition or lack of technological sounds.
But there isn't a style. So if you listen blindly, it'll have to be your emotions and sensations that guide you.
You like if you 'feel'.
You're certainly not listening to music with your reason, or are you delving intellectually into the contents of the songs.
Follow your heart. (yeah, sounds like a damned cliche' but it's probably correct).
