Most pleasurable activities, such as eating and sex, have clear links to survival. Such activities ultimately stimulate brain mechanisms that are specifically evolved to reward and encourage adaptive behaviors. Note that once brain mechanisms are in place that permit the experience of pleasure, it may be possible to stimulate those mechanisms in ways that do not confer a survival advantage. This behavior is called non-adaptive pleasure seeking.

From a purely biological point of view, we know that strong drugs do not serve any biological purpose at all; the only reason for their consumption is the corrupting effect that they have on the internal reward systems in the brains of those who consume then.

If we think of music as a drug, then it is a temptation even more difficult to avoid than a chemical drug. Absolutely no ingredients are required to make it other than the knowledge of what sounds to make. Melody comes from the voice, and rhythm can be provided by banging any number of objects together. And you have less choice about whether to "consume" it, because if someone nearby decides to start making music, then you are going to hear it.
But if music is a drug, which creates false feelings, why haven't we evolved resistance to it?

This is a reasonable question to ask. After all, we have been listening to music for at least 9,000 years, which should be long enough for some degree of resistance to evolve.
Propably we already have, so music used to be a much stronger drug than it is now. So strong that it corrupted our minds and distracted us fatally from solving life's problems. Perhaps so strong that it almost made the human species go extinct from self-neglect.
But now we have developed a partial resistance to this effect that music has on us. For whatever reason, the resistance is not total, and music continues to have emotional and pleasurable effects on us, but, these effects are but residual shadows of what music used to be.

nonaps has arrived to fight our brains tendency of adaption to music by flooding it with the wildest musical super cheesecake ever heard.
