I can't seem to find a definition for music that clearly states that all 3 elements must be present.

Again, I'll stick with what I learned in school and via the Berklee correspondence course.

I paid for those lessons, and I'm going to use them  

Melody, harmony, and rhythm are all components of music, but according to what I learned, you need all three for it to be music.

But like I said earlier, we probably just need to agree to disagree.

Neither you nor I nor anyone else has to like it, and we can list reasons why, but it's hard to argue with something that makes zillions of dollars. 

I don't like football, hang gliding, or hot peppers, but lots of people do. And I can think of reasons why I don't like them. Football=boring. Hang gliding=dangerous. Hot peppers=the plants developed that to keep animals from eating them, who am I to argue?

Crikey—I cleanly missed the clever cricket joke that someone cracked. It's a catastrophe by Jiminy.

(I haven't watched TV since the early 1990s, so all my TV references are old—I'm approaching my codger years.)
