I agree. I use photoshop to design sites and export everything HTML. This is because I am not saavy on Flash scripting and whatnot.
But neither are my sisters. Some are still on dialup. Flash sites are generally great if your audience is hooked up on cable modems. But for me, a girl who just NOW got on cable, Flash sites are a no-no. And quite a few of my sisters aren't computer saavy. If I make a site too flashy, they may just get confused and sick of it. Also think about your future designers. I'm not going to be webmistressing this site forever, so I have to make it simple enough for every future designer to update.
And a big huge Co-Sign on the music. I have been shown a couple of fan sites with high res MP3s playing in the background. Not only could I NOT turn the music off, there was one where TWO songs were playing at the same time. Mix that with my ITunes and I had a really bad mix session going on.
