    Now, those of you who try to ascribe greatness to pop music are trying
    to call an apple orange.  That's not it's job.  You want to listen to
    some "great" music, listen to Mahler, The Fabulous Poodles, or King
    Crimson.  Pop isn't trying to be great.  It's striving for mediocrity.

Mahler?			Of course.
King Crimson?		Excellent.
The Fabulous Poodles?	Explain please...
