So you can accuse people who don't of being snobs?Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

I agree that there's tons of good stuff out there and most old classical music is for snobbs and is basically ****ty. There's plenty of jazz, blue grass, etc. that's good stuff. Even some rap is quite good in comparison, once you gain some perspective.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Eliot del Borgo - his Rituale is superb!
David Holsinger - great stuff, especially In the Spring, At the Time When Kings Go Off to War, but Liturgiacl Dances is a good piece too
The Gershwin's are supposed to have some really good music, but I'm not really into them.
Gustav Holtz's Planets is good.
Noebou(sp?) Umetsa has created some great pieces.
I wish I knew who wrote Danse Macabre! It's one of the great songs, and it really reminds me of Halloween.
Arron Copeland - Can't go wrong here.
But like you said, noone knows any Contemporary composers...I never know their names, But i smile just the same
New faces...Strange places,
Most everything i see, Becomes a blur to me

I love classical music!
Beethoven, Tchikovsky, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Wagner, etc., etc. Good stuff!
Absolutely, it's not like rulers are capable of creating anything that's aesthetically pleasing.Classical music is the music of the ruling classes. By a select few for a select few. Ick.

The pyramids were built for a privileged elite using slave labour.

Maybe we should get rid of that eyesore, the Taj Mahal.

I think you're being ironic, Ramo, but as I've previously heard you describe Napolean, Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan as 'pretty mediocre', I can't be sure...yadaComment

Sounds like I've written something similar (not Ghengis Khan though)

I'm sure Genghis would be relieved to know he meets your exacting standards.

What did Napoleon do? He only knocked the nose off the Sphinx. Genghis razed whole cities.

Classical music is repetitive??? Yaaah... techno isn't repetitive or anything...
When I look at a song, I don't look at the date, or the background of the artist, I just look at the song. Great songs are timeless. That is why I love both Rimsky-Korsakov's Sceherezade and Pepe Deluxe. That is why I think of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here as closer to classical than Beethoven's ninth. NIN's closer really does remind me of a lot of classical music."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"
