At the end of the day the pieces I like the most, probably aren't going to be liked by the majority of people. But, the pieces that are liked the most in the classical repetoire all coincidentally enough, have a strong melody. Jupiter, what is it remembered for? The middle section. Pomp and circumstance, what is it remembered for? LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY! What is Ravel remembered for, Bolero? What is Debussy remembered for Claire de Lune. I could go on and on.

I don't think people should entirely write music that tries to appeal to the public whilst appealing to more critical observers, but if they want to be remembered, they have to write at least one! That's life basically!
