I haven't really followed the discussion, but I can deliver a nice story about the Pachelbel piece, that may put it into a different light for some:
Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue in D was first performed at one of JS Bach's relatives (I forget which) at which three violinists, one of them I believe Pachelbel himself, another one Bach's elder brother (?) "competed" with this piece (the German word in the document is "wetteiferten"). JS was present at this occasion as a young boy. I can try to find the complete quote if anyone is interested. (I personally like the piece a lot, but only if it is performed by single players on period instruments, in an appropriate tempo.)
