January, Reggae is not rock. (Bartok can be classical if you forgive my laziness[:)]). I'll add Reggae and Salsa. Also flamenco, mariachi and opera. I don't know enough of latin music to say they are not vastly different. Disco, I was going to say it's rock, but, well who'd claim it? I'll bite. Who is Tim Hardin?

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 5:57:22 PM)
basiasubrosa, I think you were ironic. Without an emoticon I have to guess. Do you really want categories by artist? Can you type faster than me?[:)]

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 5:58:06 PM)
SerriA, You type a hundred variations for two votes. Please [:)] (I'm just lazy OK?[:)] What is it 28 types?) Yes, Bach and Stravinski are different. If "classical" get lots of votes I'll expand it.

Estring -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 6:07:29 PM)
Tim Hardin was a folk singer from the sixties. If I'm not mistaken, he wrote " If I Were A Carpenter".

January -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 6:48:12 PM)
iwill, Thanks for the additions. We're just a bunch of "do me divas" on this board. Speaking of which, can we vote and vote often? I used my one vote up, I think. (Before you added disco and such) As Estring says, Tim Hardin was an artist (and songwriter) out of the sixties. He considered himself jazz, though I'd say he was folk, too. He also wrote "reason to believe". Anyway, he's one of my favorite singers. I was wondering if anybody remembers him. January

quote: ORIGINAL: basiasubrosa <swoon!!!> also the Well Tempered Clavier, Cello Suites, Organ Fugues, and B Minor Mass (all fugues!! plus the Godfather theme is hidden in it), St John Passion, and ST MATTHEWS PASSION, which is, in my nsho, the ultimate bestest most sublime piece of music ever. (Choral gal here.) Would love to hear your chamber selections, as i have only recently begun to venture beyond the Schumann, Brahms and Beethoven standards. (O, the Brahms clarinet quintet....) I like the Well Tempered Clavier, as well! Cello I like but only for a while, then I want to just bust out! (who can resist yo yo ma, though???) As for organ fugues, well - the standard is Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D, isn't it? There was a Mozart Requiem that I heard once that was incredible. My all time favorite piano concertos are both Mozart - #21 and 23 (especially 21). I'm not familiar with the Passions, though. I bet sherri is.

quote: ORIGINAL: SherriA ROFL...i hated singing Bach too! Predictable harmonies, no dissonance...so...so...so mechanical feeling. Powerful, but predictable. sigh I'm really a dishordant kinda chick, I think, and that's just so NOT Bach. (But I'll agree with you that St. Matthew's Passion is an incredibly powerful piece of music.) You like discord MUCH more than I do. I like to have it occasionally in unexpected places...you, however, really dig the entire damned thing to not seem like it was written in any kind of key!

Sinergy -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 7:24:40 PM)
Hello, What about big band swing? What about ska? New Wave? Are you referring to punk in the 1970s or the new millenium? German oompa-loompa? Baroque? Meditation drumming? How about DeathMetal/Rap/CountryWestern as practiced by Travis Shredd and the Good Ole Homeboys? I dont know, I like a lot of different music. Depends entirely on my mood. Sinergy

If "classical" get lots of votes I'll expand it. Your initial post said "post and don't vote". I didn't vote, and I'd assume that lots of other people didn't either, since you didn't seem to WANT us to.

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/29/2004 7:24:37 PM)
How about "other" Oh swing is jazz. (I'm lazy, remember.) New Wave I assume is either alternative or punk or whatever category is closest. (Dire Straights, The Talking Heads, Midnight Oil, the Cranberries, and The Ramones are new wave but can fit in othe categories. Remember, I'm lazy.[:)])

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/29/2004 7:25:18 PM)
Vote now, Otherwise you end up in January's boat picking the closest thing, and then I add your category and you can't vote again.

Sinergy -> RE: What kind of music (7/29/2004 10:49:57 PM)
quote: Oh swing is jazz. (I'm lazy, remember Umm, not sure this is exactly correct. Maybe big band music a la 1940s is considered a variant of jazz, but I dont think it is the modern version of jazz. Sinergy

kiki blue -> RE: What kind of music (7/31/2004 3:53:56 AM)
I have a weakness for 80's music, especially the one hit wonders. Just sharin'.

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/31/2004 4:16:50 AM)
You mean that swing revival in "alternative music" lead by the guitar player for the Stray Cats? Is Bebop jazz? How about Stride Piano? For a non jazz big band swing category I'd need to break out non-jazz free jazz, movie sound tracks, musicals, non-jazz cool jazz, non jazz re-bop (It's like be-bop, only more so.[:)]), non-Jazz third wave, non-jazz fusion, and more. I am too lazy to post a poll with over 50 options. Then we have to break up classical, and country. I broke up rock before it was asked, without thinking. That was a mistake. (Which pairs are more different; Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello, Hank Williams and Hank Williams junior, King Oliver and Miles Davis, or Bach and Stravinski?)

Can you type faster than me?[:)] <confused> I can't quite find where i suggest categories by artist, unless you mean the 'separate categories for Bach or Bartok' dialogue, which i figured was only an enthused way of expressing one's undying affection for certain dead men. (Anyway, here's a [:)] to make up for any possible negligence.)

I can! <snob> I prefer Rostropovich for raw energy, intensity, lyricism, angst and longing. </snob> Yo Yo Ma does win my respect for his advocacy for traditional Asian musics, though. quote: There was a Mozart Requiem that I heard once that was incredible. The Mozart Requiem is my second favorite choral piece ever. I will never forgive my choir director for performing it the year i took leave of absense. Not until i get to sing the St Matthew's, that is.

Yo Yo Ma and Bobby McFarrin did an album a number of years ago that you might find that you like. It's not 'classical,' rather a twist on a lot of classical music (and some not so classic) - very different. Very low key stuff, but unusual as Bobby McFarrin can do some really crazy things with his voice.

basiasubrosa -> RE: What kind of music (8/1/2004 7:14:10 AM)
MizSuz- Mmm.... A friend played parts of the Ma-McFerrin cd for me a while back and i remember being very very impressed. Will have to listen to more of it some time. Thanks for the recommendation! There is one very large category that has been completely missing so far- chant (Gregorian, Byzantine, Torah trope, Islamic prayer, Buddhist meditationals.....). I shan't tear my hair out in utter perplexion if this is deemed part of "other", but i thought it should be at least mentioned once in this thread. Done.

Estring -> RE: What kind of music (8/1/2004 11:54:17 AM)
Jazz has had quite a few changes, swing, big band, be bop, fusion, cool, and even Kenny G unfortunately. But I guess you could say that about any music. Except possibly polka. [:D]
