Both sides of the argument here are being absolutely ridiculous.

Most people listen to what is provided for them, myself included. Get off the musical high horse; popular music is popular because it's popular - stop trying to change people's minds, it won't happen, and you're just going to get angrier at other people on here.

On the other hand, some of the people in this thread just listing music they don't like because it's 'old' or are bigging up a talent show PRODUCT - your views are wrong. They might not seem wrong to you, not right now, but in a few years time, you'll realise you were being a bit stupid when you said these things.

Conclusion: popular music is popular for a reason; you will not convince the majority into searching for some individual masterclass that nobody's ever heard of before.
