I shudder at the thought of David Gilmour's exquisite guitar playing being likened to "entry level" music.

	Your friends are trying to find a niche in something that is entirely personal. They will grow at a different rate and regard than you.

	Elitism is bad and it's in every genre. I hate it

	I have friends that call Pink Floyd trash and "entry level music" and say that thrash metal is bad and simple because they can play the guitar riff easily. Obviously none of this makes sense, but if you've said this and still say these things, let me explain a few things. 1. There is no such thing as "entry level" music- Music is not an elite club, every band is on an equal level of being music-makers. 2. Just because a riff is uncomplex, doesn't make a song stupid or simple- Atom Heart Mother had a pretty simple riff, Aqualung has a simple riff, In the Court of the Crimson king has a simple riff. (by riff I mean melody.)
