Hey, I've heard that ditty before!

He does sing good. I wish I sang like that.

In all honesty, though, I sometimes find it hard to appreciate famous music that has been played so much that I know almost everyone knows it. I feel as if I shouldn't like a piece now considered by many to be "trite" due to being so well-known, even among "common people."

I'm afraid this shows I'm sometimes a musical snob, unable to fully appreciate music if I think everyone else likes it, too. Other people's views of music shouldn't affect the value I see in it.
