Tom, obviously one's idea of what they consider to be "challenging" or
"progressive" music is a matter of their own opinion, social
conditioning, taste, etc (i.e. Steve Albini?), so what's your point? Is
it necessary for music to always be challenging and ground breaking in
order to be enjoyed? And what in the world do you mean by "worthiness"?
IMHO, all music is "worthy" or has some kind of value, as long as at
least one person in the world derives some kind of enjoyment and/or
constructive use from it. So show me a universal yardstick for this
"worthiness" that you refer to. Sales? Please....
