There are plenty of dissonances and odd meters in Baroque music. Well -- in Bach anyway. But if it sounds dull to you then it just doesn't speak to you, I guess, and it may never. I have similar issues with the Classic era. But there are plenty of other things that do speak to you, so it's not a problem in any way.
I couldn't respond to the poll because I like most eras equally well - early music to the present day. The exception is the Classic era which I find to be too simple in texture compared to the Baroque, and not bombastic enough compared to the Romantic.
