Well that's the point of me mentioning the Fall - I like their work far more than I like Beethoven or Wagner, but I am perfectly happy to accept that The Fall's music is of inferior quality. I don't think grandeur and intricacy should take precedence though.

I'll reiterate now I'm not saying anything about something being "empirical" - although it looks like that in my last post. I'm just wondering if this issue should be so blurred as it is. It's also possible that it's best for me to shut up about this.
