Am I the only one that listens to classical?

John Williams is an incredible composer, although some of his material sounds overly similar to me (took me a while listening to the superman theme to realize it wasn't star wars).

That's the only thing that gets me about John Williams. A lot of his material does sorta sound the same. Now Jerry Goldsmith on the other hand, he really is versatile. Would you have guessed that he composed Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, the Rambo movies, and Planet of the Apes?(the old one).

It's actually amazing how prolific Goldsmith is and the range of genres:
Tora Tora Tora
Basic Instinct
Logan's Run
Omen
Chinatown
Total Recall
Gremlins

I listen to classical music, smoke a pipe, and wear a smoking jacket around the house where I live. Sometimes I do this while reading the paper, other times I do it while surfing the internet, but most often while im relaxing in my room doing nothing but collecting my thought.

That being said, I played the classical style guitar from kindgerarden through senior year of HS. I went to composition camp and learned how to harmonize and analyse the elements for the periods of baroque, classical, and romantic era music.

So yeah I like it a little bit.

Forget the "social stigma" associated with unusual tastes in music, on the contrary chicks being chicks are mostly unoriginal robots when it comes to music (ie she listens to whatever top 40 trash her friends and the radio plays at the time.)

Most chicks are fully aware they are unoriginal and as boring as bat sh!t when it comes to taste in music so there is usually very little passion shown when a potential partner tells her he thinks 50 cent/Brittney Speared is crap.

It shouldnt even be a topic to be discussed to you as a matter of fact, the b!tch is a lucky guest in YOUR reality and should feel privileged to listen to whatever your playing at the time.

DJing is tough when a chick says she listens to Coldplay/50 cent

DJing is not "tough" when a chick says she listens to coldplay, 50 cent etc because for starters thats bullsh!t boring fluff talk which doesnt even count as DJing.

Chick: Well I really like (insert latest random garbage that stirred her last romantic fantasy emotions).

You: Yeah? I really like sticking my thumb up my ass.


^ Would probably have better results at making her panties moist than you waffling on about your music taste which she couldnt give a fvck about anyway.


Btw I like Kate Bush but I still got my **** sucked by 3 different chicks in 2 nights last week, although 1 of them was ugly as sin you still get my point.

On a side note guys who listen to classical music are usually anal retentive, pretentious wankers (you all know what Im talking about), just make sure your not one of those guys.

I dont even listen to music at all, and I've never had 1 girl complain. In fact, even the guys stop complaining after 5 minutes of George Carlin.

I like Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Mahler, Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninoff, van Beethoven, Strauss, Schönberg, Berlioz, Gade, Haydn, Balakirev, ...

It's cool to listen to classical music, cause everyone nowadays likes 50cent or Metallica, so you're something special when you're listening to classical music!

Come get some!

Hmm. I like to think my musical tastes are pretty good. Anytime I'm trying to collect my thoughts I'll find an internet radio station that plays classical and play it. I like mainly rock and classical but techno and country music are ok in my book too. Rap is pretty ****ty most of the time but some of it is alright.

Hall of the mountain king is awesome, I have a version that Apocaliptica did that is just amazing. Some of my favorite stuff comes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, Train, Metallica, Third Eye Blind, and Bon Jovi. Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin have some amazing stuff and I listen to them.
