[quote=Anonymous]Your subject line is incorrect.  LMM's music is not bad, you just don't like it.  It's fine that his music doesn't fit your taste, just don't all it "bad" music.  It's well written, musically significant and popular.  That means that is isn't bad.  It doesn't reflect poorly on you that you don't like his music, but it does reflect poorly on you to call it bad.

I happen to like some of LMM's music, but not all of it and I don't adulate his work like many of my friends and peers.  But, I'm like you when it comes to Sondheim.  I understand why my peers all love his work and I do admire his lyrics and word-play.  He's witty and crafts his lyrics well, and while his music is musically significant and he writes well, I don't particularly like the majority of his music.  As the saying goes, when you see a Sondheim musical, you rarely walk out of the theatre humming his music because it is not easy music to retain or sing/hum.  So, unless you knew the music beforehand, it isn't easy or catchy.  As I said, I admire his work, but don't really like the majority (I like a little bit of his work).[/quote]
