I suppose what I'm getting at is, is the above also considered deplorable? And if so, why?

Come on FFS! Theres NO SUCH THING as 8 bit music. Computer game music, in the 8 bit day sounded that way BECAUSE THATS ALL THEY COULD DO!!!...as soon as newer consoles came on the go which could use 16 bit sampled music, the musicians composed real music...do you think anyone writing music for NES games really thought "yeah this is amazing 8 bit toonz" instead of "christ this sounds so pish, but its all this stupid console is capable of producing" !!!
