Well yes, I was using an incorrect model of you.
I was really just commenting on the drama of the last part of your post. Valuing Weird Al over classical isn't something bizarre to me.
The issue I have is the comparison between the two. Different music is for different things. To just say "Well if I'm gonna listen to music then I'll always pick Weird Al over classical," well, that's not all there is to the aesthetics of music.
Edit: Especially with things like epic film scores. Classical music tends to fit this niche quite well, and I would be surprised if you honestly disagreed with that.
