[Glitch]

I don¹t know about the ³highest² degree of musicianship (who am I to say?)
but I have always thought ³No Reaction² was a masterful song.  Same with
Ships of Freedom, Drums of Heaven, Hercules, and Progress.  Just GOOD MUSIC.
As a musician (of sorts) those were the first songs I thought of when I read
your question.

And I agree with you that just because something isn¹t to my taste doesn¹t
mean it¹s crap.  An example is Silence of the Lambs.  Not something I would
sit down and enjoy watching, but hell, it is a well-made movie.  There are
probably many such examples in all genres of art.
