Shimon, I only hope you’re not as proud of your shortcomings in oerson as you are anonymously online….i should hope it hasn’t become “neeseis llo keheter” ,or “neeseis lo kimitzvah” in the words of the kotzker

Acher became an apikores partially because of Greek songs, which I’m sure he found some good qualities in….he was a tanna qnd a tzadik at that point. Chazal say there and in other places to avoid non-jewish music.

I know of one gadol beyisroel who plays classical, instrumental nusic for his wife. I myself enjoy instrumental music…some hold it’s not correct, but I use it for my nerves; I think there’s a good enough heter for it.
