Well, I happen to agree with that. I don't think enjoying one genre of music devalues the other. I can say that, generally speaking, pop music relies less on the talent of the individual performers and more on the production. But technical talent in music isn't everything. I'd much rather listen to some fun dance music than to Buckethead, or some passionate four chord protest to an 8 minute rock opera.
