Why is there a distinction between classical and popular music?


So that great bands like U2 do not buy it and use all the tricks of the Muse and shine. For example nice classical major 7th chords and sharp scales (black keys) and shine.


For example Ordinary Love - U2.

It is written like a cannon, with the bass repeating.


The key is C sharp Dorian.


There are nice major seventh chords. For example when the bass becomes A and the melody or a high part plays G sharp. There is pedal bass at the introduction. Including generalized pedal bass, the guitar playing the same high note while other parts change.
