Here's a question for everybody: do you consider Opeth to be accessible music?
- Yes/No/Dunno and based on what reasons?
- Accessible/inaccessible in comparison to what? Musical examples if you like - but preferably from real music, let's keep the commercially manufactured sounds out of this discussion.
- Accessible/inaccessible in a good/bad/neutral sense?
- What about the factor of musical experience? Or listening experience?
- Opeth - easy listening or hard/confusing listening? Counter-examples?
- Your personal attitude towards accessible music, accessibility in general and its relativity?
These sub-questions are not meant to be answered exactly in the specified order; they are more like guidelines and elaborations on the primary question. Please bring up any other/unrelated thoughts you have on this topic, if you have the wish to do so.
I'll refrain from posting my own theories for now, I'm hoping to see some different perspectives not clouded by the weight of the initiator's post.
