Well, yes, the only thing I can really say to that is that I try to reach further than the hitlists but know I am barely scratching the surface.
You've made a study out of music, put in way more hours of theory and analysis and listened to way more stuff than I have. I do some searching about and read up on a couple things here and there but I'm not going to be academic about it. We (and I think in general, those that have studied musicology and those that haven't) approach music way differently.
The guideline of stuff that interests me is applied to music that comes across my path (in one way or another, radio, paper, internet). You see, I've noticed the following in my bahaviour: say, I'm confronted with fifteen pieces of music; the one that grabs my attention is usually the one that comes across as the most impressive or intricate (skill or structure wise).
From a musicological standpoint it is narrow yeah. (The list was merely to illustrate that despite liking prog I listen to stuff outside the genre as well, but I think you got that.)
I just listened to a few pieces by Sorabji and I can definately say I do appreciate it. And I assume you mean Christian Lindberg the trombonist? There's also a J-pop band named that.
On the James LaBrie rap, I looked it up, wtf was that?
