You can get a vague idea by listening. I mean, obviously Bela Bartok put more effort into his pieces than Britney Spears. Not to say simple music is bad, I just feel people who have the balls to perform, and craft, very deep multilayered music at commercial risk(which obviously denotes more modern times than Bartok) deserve a bit of a pat on the back, and special distinction.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
