His music can be enjoyed by the masses... that's certainly evident. Though I've never understood why that's considered a bad thing.
Pandering is never good, of course, but I don't feel his compositions are mere toss-offs.
Plus, he usually works with brilliant lyricists... most notably, for me, Tim Rice and Jim Steinman... and, being that I'm a lyrics-man, I'm always satisfied.
