Of the posts in this thread this is perhaps the one that intrigues me the most (assuming you do mean Pachelbel). What, besides the canon, would you suggest that I listen to in order to understand your point? What, besides the canon, have you actually heard?
Although I suspect the background here is simple (you've heard that good old canon, didn't like it, and assume Pachelbel sucked), this is pretty surreal to me. Pachelbel is just one of those people who were really good at what they did, and are not controversial in any way. I could foresee Mozart, Cage, Schönberg, Wagner or John Williams cropping up in this list, but Pachelbel? What? It's just totally random.
I'll take this back if you can actually motivate your opinion in an informed manner without mentioning the canon, and in either case I apologize for me little rant here. It's just so weird.
