That's fair! As far as post-rock goes, I've never found it "perfect." It's certainly very expressive -- EitS, GY!BE, Steven Wilson, etc -- but I don't think perfection is the right word (nor do I think post-rockers would exactly want their music called perfect, but that's a separate issue). Further, alyrical music can tell a story just as well as lyrical, if you listen hard enough.

I was ignoring classical for the sake of the post. Beethoven's Ninth is the pinnacle, it really is, but it's not what I'd call a song per se.
