Beethoven is to Mahler

What Ford is to Chevrolet
What Dodge is to Chrysler
What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties
What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea
What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong

I like Lyle Lovett, too.

...B.B. King to Led Zeppelin?

     That's better, yes. B.B. King to Cream would be better still, I think, but it's close.

Duke Ellington is popular music only from a vestigial point of view. Jazz is a real Art form, its not popular music the way Rock is.

     No, it was popular music. It doesn't matter when it was, or how long it's been a "real art form". Why would anyone care about something like that? I love music, not categories.*

      _{* Weeeelll, I love categories, too, but separately.}
