This is like deciding which colour is the best...

Some people like to watch someone play an instrument with great skill, 
some don't care a bit about the performance.

Some people like to learn to play an instrument with great skill, some 
like to focus on composing music.

Some people like to listen to music played by a virtuoso, some people 
like to listen to music played by an anti-virtuoso.

For *me* music is about the emotion you create regardless of how skilled 
you are at playing an instrument.
