I would have selected ''no,'' but for the fact that I think music has to be enjoyable on some level for it to be good. And by enjoyable I don't mean ''fun," per se. I listen to too much music that would not be categorized as fun. Even w/sad music there is something to be gained from it if it is good.
I wouldn't categorize the Pumpkins best material as "fun." Siamese Dream doesn't strike me as fun but it is incredibly fulfilling to listen to. The Pumpkins don't need to be fun to be successful though it's funny you bring this up because Zeitgeist is probably the most "fun" album the Pumpkins put out, but also probably their worst.
