    the most i will do is appreciate their musical talent. i hate classical music. really can't stand it. i know people like it, but i just don't get it, what is there to enjoy? if i want to listen to some chill music, or some background music it's definitely gonna be jazz. love the jazz.

    I like classical music cause it's like the equivalent to their era's arena rock. It just sounds so huge. Mozart was a fucking rock star. Jazz is also amazing though. Huge jazz fan and would rather listen to Jazz than classic, but classical music is great still.

    beethoven is probably my pick, vivaldi not too far behind

    le quatttro staggioni is one bad ass composition

    true that, true that. if i knew how to spell "Tchaikovsky" before you came along and showed me i would have included him - most definately :D. as for Bizet - i'm not familiar with him :eek:.

    Pachelbel is so tired and overdone

    Rachmaninoff is supurb.
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    Spelling Tchaikovsky correctly is probably the only thing that I remember from my piano lessons! ;):D

    :D I'm sure you know Bizet. He wrote Carmen. :)

    I prefer the Russian composers. :D
