You're right, I can at times be the worst. In my defence I do recognise a necessary schism in both my own appreciation of music and other people's, to wit, there is such a thing as music which
may be intellectualised (concurrent to pop, I'm listening to a lot of heavy classical things at the moment); there exists such a music as
could be intellectualised (
some very fleeting instances of rock music); there exists such a music as
should very carefully and rarely be intellectualised (pop).
I realise this is a somewhat inane post, but felt it necessary nonetheless.
