I think music is competitive and it's a sad thing.
The interest in watching athletes lay in that they're better in their category than most human beings. (or faster, stronger etc.)
Some people expect the same from musicians, they want the BEST, objectively.
Satriani, Hendrix, Steve Vai, few people can play like them, therefore they' re the best.
It also apply in classical: there are piano contests, and the winner is the one who plays the fastest, without fawls.
Also in jazz.
In that context, I find The Ramones and The Fall very refreshing.
