Is Cowboy Bebop basically The Beatles of anime?
The fact that so many books still name melodic music “the greatest or most significant or most influential” type of sound ever only tells you how far music still is from becoming a serious art. Noise critics have long recognized that the greatest noise musicians of all times are Merzbow and Masonna, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Musique concrete critics rank the highly controversial Pierre Schaeffer over rock musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Music critics are still blinded by commercial success: melodic records sell more than anything else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Noise critics grow up listening to a lot of noise music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Musical critics are often totally ignorant of the pop music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think melodic music has produced worth of being saved.

Watanabe is loved by those he panders to, and not really seen as much more than an ok director beyond that. I would accuse his work of being a little safe. Maybe he's more 90's metallica than anything else.

Nice copy pasta, mama mia!
In more exclusive and elite circles it's considered the Neon Genesis Evangelion of anime.
I'm pretty sure something like Gundam or EVA would be the Beatles of anime.
