This is very true... however, the criticism (with which I agree) also lends itself to the 'hipper than thou' thing, and then you get caught up in a massive circle of brainmelting which takes you away from the good things, like actually listening to things.
It's much like the uber-cool, corduroy and shit glasses types with their terrible blogs/ podcasts and resident table at the Foundry who go on about how wonderful easy listening is. It worries me that I'm becoming/ am one of those, because I do quite like easy listening.
It's funny how Sugababes have always had that 'pop it's ok to like thing' wherease GA have only had it since, roughly, something kind of Ooh.
I haven't a leg to stand on in this criticism, in all fairness.
