Is Breath of the Wild's sound track lackluster?

See, this is my point exactly. Music can be great without being catchy.

The pieces you listed are the ones that you like the most, right? Those are the ones that stuck out? The ones you call great? Because they stuck with you, you found them memorable and "catchy". When someones says something is catchy, they mean that it stuck with them and that they remember it. Because to them, that music was great.

Great music is supposed to leave a lasting impact. It's supposed to be memorable, it's supposed to catch and stick with you, and it's supposed to have you keep coming back for more.
The Beatles wouldn't have become as big and as iconic as they became if their music wasn't catchy.

If it's just 'one and done' and it doesn't click with me, you'll have a hard time convincing me it's great.
You found it great, because you found it catchy.
Because you found it catchy, you believe it is great.

No. definitely not.

 

Music needs to leave an impact, but it does *not* need to be any specific melody inside the music.

 

 

I can't remember more than a few lines of Beethoven's 32nd sonata, Bach's Toccatta in D minor or brandenburg concertos, Mozart's concerto in d minor or magic flute, Rachmaninoff's third concerto, or prokovief's 2nd sonata, without going back to them, after having listened to all of them at least 10 times each - I still know that they are great pieces.

 

This is especially true for more abstract, purely pictoral pieces, which don't even necessarily HAVE a melody, or have melodys that overlap and dissapear just as fast into the background as they appear.

 

They'res pieces that I played, practiced for months, that I can't recall, but still love.
