I read this quora question the other day out of curiosity and the second to top answer (Mark Doss's) is a cringsterpiece.

misses the point

they made great music the musicians themselves were certainly amateurs which is part of the liberation factor of this music it's an assault on meritocracy
I'd say that they're great musicians, but my barometer for that is how good their music is, not how advanced they are as classical players.

Eh, kind of a yes and no think since their sloppiness is mostly a result of their energy.

Twisted way to ask the question.

Kurt Kobain made great music. Chick Corea makes great music.

For a second I was honestly tempted to think you were being serious about using some arcane, pretentious rubric that does the opposite of what you seem to be saying.
