Also, some pieces by the Beatles
(Like Revolution 9 and Carnival of Light)
were strongly influenced by Stockhausen and Schaeffer. ; )

Actually the Floyd were influenced by Stockhausen. Watch 'Pink Floyd - 1971 in Hamburg" (my channel ;) ) to get more information (if you understand german).

Interesting. After listening to Stockhausen's critique of Aphex Twin, Plasticman and other produders of modern electronic music, I have a better understanding of why his music sounds the way it does.

This is analogous to the fine art scene where people pretend to enjoy a crappy painting because it will make them look intelligent and sophisticated - and get laid. They come up with all kinds of bullshit explanations about the meaning of the art and ways in which it is "genius." Jackson Pollock is a perfect example of this so-called genius. Creating "weird" for weirdness' sake is no different from the immature teenage impulse to shock people to get the desired response they so crave.

@Cambodia69
right on.
of course during our lives we wont be able to decide on 100% what and HOW good(?) this is, but at least;) it's 100% analogous to the "fine art scene" when thinking about "the people" opinions.
and that's why we need critics.

Cambodia69, I disagree with you. I didn't get Jackson Pollock until I saw an early "standard" modernist painting by him next to a dripper entitled 'Alchemy' in the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice. Suddenly it was obvious what he was doing. I'm not saying it's easy nor can I explain, I just feel it. It's hard to strip away what has been put into your mind so you can open it up and accept something for what it is, not for the received opinions put in your mind by others in the first place.
