i agree he has produced mainstream pop music (a lot of his singles) but he has also produced great ambient works of which play and 18 mostly consist of. check out Play: B-sides for further proof of that. and i find his use of sampling quite innovative.
alright. the reason I thought your post was taking the easy way out is because you didn't explain what you find to be so terrible about his music.

I liked "Ambient". I remember that i used to like "Play" when it was first released, but after repeatetive listens...it just didn't pass the test of time. Well, it was a kind of ambient-pop i guess, nothing more nothing less (To tell you the truth the ambient b-sides of both "Play" and "18" were more interesting). But i still listen to "Ambient" from time to time.
As for the "genius" thing, he could be a pop genius but in no way a musical genius.

I do believe I explained it in my very first post, accompanied with the fact that I simply do not like his music.

So was that a a "yes" or "no"?
if it isnt obvious enough by now- yes.

he lives in a multi-million dollar converted loft space with spectacular views. he's banged every scenester chick within a 10-mile radius of new york city and is out on the town multiple times a week, even as he's pushing deeper into his mid-40s.
not exactly a misanthrope.
