Well, you have exactly the same problem as me!! I also can't have a
conversation in a pub or anything where lots of people are speaking at the same
time. My friend told me it was a consequence of a strong sense of curiosity: I
just cannot cut myself from the ambient noise because there may somewhen be
something interesting to pick up from there. And it's all unconscious of
course ;)) . But with me it's often the words that win over the music, which
makes it difficult to remember a tune :((( .
