Finnegan's Wake doesn't have an musical equivalent yet. It will have to be some epic symphony from the future or something.

Perhaps this open an interesting high culture vs low culture thing in that maybe pop music simply cannot compete with literature or really that they are in no way analogous.

in no way analagous is wrong but I've become increasingly convinced that critics' assumptions that there is something called *Art* that can generally be discussed in a similar way, as opposed to more-or-less completely different things like literature and music and painting that need to be discussed in completely different ways is a bad thing.
