> Can't we appreciate and value music that isn't pleasing?

This is an oxymoronic sentence.

Only if you think appreciation and value is synonymous with what is pleasant. I don't.

Malevich's Black Square is not pleasing to me, but I value and appreciate it for expanding the boundaries of art. Same with John Cage's music. What's so oxymoronic about that?
