Yeah, I'd kind of think you're a music snob. I like the Egg track as it is more of a homage to Bach than anything cheesy in my opinion. And, of course, there are so many homages to classical music in the rock genre to use as an example. Heck, ELO alone would probably want you to head for the hills, Ayn.
As, for Golden Brown, yeah, one of my favorite songs from the Stranglers, but the harpsichord, as you may know, was used quite a bit in the sixties. Indeed, I always think of Sunshine Superman when someone mentions harpsichord (and the instrument was used in pop songs way before that).
Anyway, yes, I think you're a snob, but so what? All that really matters is that you enjoy the music you like.
