Pokemon Gold is amazing!!
You weren't disrespectful, I can understand your point. Games tend to have boring and noisy tracks, as I do the same as you, I turn it off. But DKC had a marvelous soundtrack, for example.
That's because in the first game I loved music, environment and gameplay. In the second game, I loved music even more, but environment and gameplay were the same and it became boring after a while.
