I have a bunch of classical music on my music list over my house. I always thought I was weird for it but now I see im not alone haha

All deez beats ain't gut SHIT on mah homeboy: Johann Sebastian Bach. His track Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is DAH SHIT yo!!! G-unit word up to ya motha.


Yet in all seriousness, are any Cann.com members so devoted to their taste in Classical to have favorite sub genres as I do? Romanticism and Baroque have extraordinary appeal to my tastes - they suited my readings of Frankenstein and Dracula (Both Gothic novels written during the Romantic movement) with utmost perfection, also I highly recommend composer Gustav Holst for anyone who is interested. His score of The Planets is dah shit.

Try that NPR link again, Slip, and click on the The Song link inside on that page. You have to get past the little NPR promo, like usual on those things, and then the music starts. I even had my real son test it for me. Barber's "Adagio for Strings" is outta this world.

You got dat right, awight, about JS Bach, my brutha Couch-Potato.

Baroque for me, too. The cyclical, wonderful nature of it is very pleasing to my soul. Vivaldi and Bach in particular. Romantic is nice, too, but it doesn't thrill me like baroque.

Slip, put Vivalid's "The Four Seasons" on your list for future upbeat listening.

That's OK. That's even what I would expect you to say on first hearing it. In time, you may come around, particularly with more exposure to it. It didn't get to me in the same "Moonlight Sonata" way until I was in my late 20s. "Ave Maria" and "O Mio Babbino Caro" didn't speak to my soul till I was in my early 30s. I think it takes time.
