Perhaps Mike is being too hard on pop music.  With any musical category,
greater intimacy results in being able to differentiate among the many
styles within a category such as pop. Put another way, a pop enthusiast
could take Mike's comments above and simply change "Disco" to "Haydn String
Quartets" and then relate how they sound so similar to Mozart String
Quartets.  Familiarity breeds distinctions.
