In my view, the lack of and betrayal of idealism is what went wrong, generally-speaking; not the consequences of it. But in music, I am interested ONLY in quality, and that is synonymous with beauty, melody, harmony, counterpoint, rhythm, imagination, sound, ambience and atmosphere, lyrics, vocal styling, inspiration; all the things that make music great. Whether the words or "message" is idealistic or cynical is almost beside the point. You know what my #1 rock song is, for example. I'll get to it pretty soon.
I have run into many pieces of music that are well executed but don't really do anything for me. They must connect with something in the psyche otherwise it is just noise.

It's a pretty good song. You should listen to me because I am usually correct. That's a pretty good reason.
