I enjoy classical music AND Björk, whom I consider a very original songwriter and artiste. I also like rock, jazz and film music. I don't want to have to choose - I embrace ALL music that appeals to me.
This isn't an either or proposition. I actually enjoy both.
Also classical music is a very large entity from Bach to Berio, Cage to Zappa etc, it's difficult to make broad generalizations about the whole enterprise of classical music.
You may be interested to know that in 1996 Bjork performed one the great modernist pieces Pierrot Lunaire by Schoenberg. At Bjorks' insistence no recording of the performance was released because she didn't want to step on the toes of musicians who had spent their whole careers in classical music.

"There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind." ~ Duke Ellington.
Your "HOW about originality, interesting and creativity?" is an appalling non sequitur, like, "How about them Boston Red Sox?"
What about'em? If you're speaking of good artwork, using those words is not only redundant, but simplistically reductive, imho.
Best regards.
