Good music isn't about technique, complexity or anything else...A simple song can be quite touching. Ask Ennio Morricone. And anyway, you can't measure music, so how can you judge "this is good", "this is bad"? It's either you like or you dislike, but please, don't go around saying such and such group is good and the rest is crap. You can't discard an entire musical genre because it's usually associated with musical simplicity and claim you love music. That makes no sense.

Meh, it's not like I can't enjoy stuff that's not complex if it's composed well enough. Morricone is great. But then, you probably weren't directing that at me, so never mind.

also, lol @ Dragonforce.
