Eh... I see a lot of these types of discussions all over the web. I just don't see a point in talking about this anymore. People like music for different reasons. Do I think the Beatles are overrated? Yes. Do I think they're a bad band? Hell no. I actually find "Tomorrow Never Knows" to be one of the best psychedelic songs ever recorded. But... it all dwindles down to opinion. Elitism does get a bit old though, and it becomes a bit aggravating. I think all types of art can hold the capability of appreciation, and I think it defeats the purpose of appreciating it when people are bickering about whether someone deserves the acclaim that they receive.
