The riff of Rock Bottom is one of the most beautiful in all of '70s hard rock. Way sounds like a god.

Such works have therefore not left a mark on history, but they are undoubtedly works of artistic value.

Furthermore, I am not talking about technical talent but about artistic talent.

I never said that the DTs are geniuses; in fact, I explicitly told you that they are appreciated not for their originality or innovativeness but for their technique and their citation, which are ironically the components for which they are critiqued. To return to the main discussion, let me give you an example: in the field of rock music (so as not to stray too far), numerous works of evident brilliance were created in the '60s and '70s that nobody, or very few, know even many years later. Examples of these works are countless.

No, you said exactly that those with artistic talent are eventually recognized, either through the consecration of critics and their contemporary culture or by later generations. And I reiterate: it’s a load of crap because there are myriads of artists who, neither in their own time nor 300 years later, despite being true geniuses, are never discovered and certainly not celebrated by the masses.

So you think there has never been anyone in the time of Mozart or Van Gogh who possessed equal or greater talent, someone whose name we just don't hear anymore? I hope not, because that would mean that art is only made by the characters who go down in history, and that is total nonsense.

This concept is really bold; you are telling me that the great artists are only those who are known. Then you are throwing mud on thousands and thousands of artists who have created fantastic works, but who are not known by the general public (and moreover, after 100 years). And then it will be up to us over time to distinguish the right path... I hope, however, that it isn't yours...

Yes, but tell me why you consider their works great. How many Van Gogh paintings have you seen up close? And in front of how many have you stood for more than 2 minutes, opening your soul to the emotions the artist wanted to evoke in the viewer?

Sorry, please respond: why do you say that Picasso is a genius? Do you say it because it's written in the art history book, do you say it because critics and scholars say so, or do you say it because you appreciated it by subjectively reinterpreting the beauty and meaning of his works?

The beauty of art, in fact, is that it’s not necessary to understand the meaning that the artist or composer intended to convey; we can easily find our own meaning that perhaps no one else shares but evokes personal emotions within us. And there is nothing wrong if DT fans experience such emotions while listening to a lightning-fast solo in sixty-fourths within a song that literally plagiarizes a piece by King Crimson (or at least is inspired by it); especially since no one is telling you that they aren’t familiar with the great masters of the '70s, and perhaps they are thrilled and delighted precisely because of the tribute paid to them.
