No, some songs are dependent upon good sound reproduction in order to be fully appreciated.
Try listening to some audiophile equipment and you will immediately realise that this is the case.
You will hear a 'sound stage', you will hear instrument placement, the breathing of the vocalist, the finger of the musicians moving and more.....
If you listen to the Alan Parsons Project you can actually hear Alan fingers moving the sliders on the mixing desk.
Your argument supposes that going to listen to a top orchestra playing in the Albert Hall is the same as listening to it over the telephone. Clearly the two experiences are diametrically opposed.
