I feel by dismissing a substantial genre of music that has been accepted as a music genre because it doesn't sound like something you know as music limiting it? Isn't the nature of music to constantly expand and push the boundaries of what we have come to define as music? Isn't that the job of artists to break perspective and make it something new?
I think bad opinions exist. Not necessarily the opinions themselves, but the ones withh arguments so horrible you just can't take the opinion seriously.

Stephen Fry is in the second and fourth series, a guest in one episode of the third. Here are some more examples. I can't believe you've never even heard of Blackadder, never mind seen it...

I don't know, but I just can't watch any old British comedy. They make me cringe, and I hate the accents and the tone.

But aren't you British?

And DWV, check out the Jeeves and Wooster TV show, which stars Fry and Laurie as P.G. Wodehouse's characters.

What is British sketch comedy, what is not?

Generally I noticed, that people mostly resort to the "that's not music" argument to denounce music they simply don't like. I think that's a strange way of thinking. You don't have to categorize things to not like them.
Well said. Just because I don't enjoy Skrillex doesn't mean its not music (I guess)

Jokes aside, I've heard full albums of basically ambience, stuff that is silent at some points, a door creaking, some occasional strings, a couple of notes...its a bit odd, but it is music.
