You said that after I kicked you.

Anyway, shoo topic, back, on, etc.

I haven't actually contributed anything. Hrm... I don't know to be honest. At the moment I listen to a fair bit of Nightwish (moving away from this), a bit of Within Temptation, started listening to Metallica again recently, a good deal of Muse/Radiohead and the Black Mages. That's just a list of bands I guess but in general anything by them is to my liking.

I tend to listen to things randomly. Anything and everything (aside from genres that I just totally dislike).

Per Liefsonson

Well apart from a heathy dose of progressive black metal, I'm getting quite into Shostakovitch lately.

PurpleFistMixer

Shotsakovitch wins the cool name award.
Speaking of classical music, actually, everyone go and get Scheherazade by Rimsky Korsakov. Such a great piece. I'm not sure of the exact movement, but if it's 45 minutes long it's probably the right one.

Piste

What's this now? Podge posting something that isn't a ban threat?

I started listening to Nightwish recently too. And the Cure more.

Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds- Thunder Child

Like it, but I have issues with the album in general. It's what I'm listening to right now, actually.

Dave Brubeck-Blue Ronda A La Turk

I just think it's very dull. And not like Rondo A La Turk at all.

for instance, i firmly believe that beyonce's 'crazy in love' (and susbsequently, amerie's '1 thing') is one of the greatest songs ever written.

Take out most of the Jay-Z, and you're almost right. That song freakin rules.

There I said it.

The first CD i ever bought was a Spice Girls CD.

Well, can't use this tongue again.

Not only that but he wins the most eccentric composer and (in my mind) best classical composer awards too. As for songs by him, the 4th Symphony is the best I've heard so far. Very long though. Although that's not a really a bad thing...

Jack Lynch

No way, Tchaichovsky rocks! In a way.

And Stotetc. might have the best name, but the best song name is "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict"

I'd have to agree to a point, tis all about the lyrics. I'm not saying I'm a great fan of beyonce's but amerie's 1 thing is a touch of class!

JCB Song by Nizlopi is the greatest...

jono087

true......true......

Undergod

Neither Shostakovich nor Tchaikovsky are classical composers.

PurpleFistMixer

The term 'classical' is quite ambiguous in that it can be referring to a particular period of music, (what was it, the 18th century?) or, as it is being used in this case, to a broad genre of music, yes, containing the classical era, but which is fairly distinct to most modern music in ... well, lots of ways. It doesn't really need defining though. People know what 'classical' music is.

Undergod

Mer mer mer... I'm PFM, I'm not a pedantic music nerd... ner mer mer.


THat's my impression of you, see?

Piste

Tchaikovsky is the Romantic era.

PurpleFistMixer

I'm a pedantic language-usage nerd. Music has to come second some times.

I dont like it, but if it beats the fella who won the Reality TV show to No. 1 for Christmas, i won't complain. Of course, they should give it to Madonna.

Per Liefsonson

Shostakovitch is twentieth century so I think he fits into the modern period of Classical music. It's crazy I know but there you go.

Yazamalainia

fur elise! such a great song...no reason by sum41, infact any sum 41 song, does anyone agree with me about how cool their lyrics are?
funeral for a friend .......bend your arms to look like wings
blink 182.......violence, adams song and feeling this
sum41......the hell song, no reason, im not the one
and their song "thanks for nothing" reminds me of ctyi my first year, listen to the lyrics!

PurpleFistMixer

There are better Funeral for a Friend songs.
Drive, for example.
Or, The Art of American Football.

Isn't Fur Elise that song that EVERYONE EVER plays on the piano? *twitches slightly*

It's true, I think there's some rule that states that you MUST learn Fur Elise if you are to play the piano.

Yazamalainia

tis true almost EVERYONE knows how to play fur elise, even alot of people that dont play piano, i know a friend who plays in on geetarRRRR but it sounds so odd! drive is probably THE MOST depressing funeral for a friend song, and bsides casually dressed is a better album, juneau and she drove me to daytime t.v are alot better than the art of american football:)

PurpleFistMixer

Damnit, Big My Secret is better than The Heart Asks Pleasure First. You're all deluded!

And I think Hours is far better than Casually Dressed... It may just be that I've listened to Hours more extensively, but the songs are just awesome. Most of them. Such a great album.

Drive is depressing, but... good. Anyway, FFAF are emo, you need to be able to put up with the heartcrushing depressing-ness of it all.

Yazamalainia

so true! i really love drive but if i listen to it more than twice in a day i start to go down like a granny on a frosty morning....

Piste

The Heart Asks Pleasure First is great though, even if it's only because if you say it fast people totally mis-hear you and get it completely wrong...

I can play a certain pantera song on at least four instruments, recorder among them.
