Music, literature and "other" are the top vote getters. Where to draw the line? Some things are broad categories because I just don't know much about them or don't think many people care. For instance "Jazz without electronics" encompases NewOrleans style, swing, BeBop, Cool, Modal, Third Wave, and show tunes. I doubt many Rogers and Hammerstein fans listen to Bransford Marsalis and vice versa, and I did not want to waste my time typing. I could be wrong though. Tell me if you are one of a legion of Gerry Mulligan's pianoless trio fans. In "Country" I know there are sub genres, but I have no idea what they are. Post and don't vote. I'll add your option. Multiple selection allowed.

Pink Floyd , a catagory all their own :) Mod3

I was going to add it and ask if you were serious, then I noticed the smiley. I need sleep.

What happened to Blues? A riding crop on my slaves' ass and Stevie Ray Vaughn go so well together. [;)]

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 6:55:54 PM)
Blues added. Blues is a wierd catagory. Modern music has blues influences. Is Stevie Ray Vaughn Blues or Rock that is bluesy? Ditto ZZ Top and their stolen Blues riff. Ditto many Miles Davis tunes with Blues in the title (Jazzy blues or Bluesy jazz) I think it needs many sub categories.

jillwfsub4blkdom -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 7:17:11 PM)
what about an r&b category - it is different than hip hop. thanks, jill [:)]

SherriA -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 7:21:29 PM)
Classical? Just classical? No baroque category? No romantic period? What about 20th century classical? The russian masters? The sonatas vs the sinfonias? Where does opera fit in? And the pre-baroque period? Bartok should be a category all his own, imnsho. "Classical" encompasses more than all your other categories combined, yet you put it all in one?

O, woman of my own heart!!! Hear, hear! Though i'd personally replace Bartok with Bach. Never mind-- Bartok and Bach can each have their own category. (Wouldn't Wagner be enraged if he didn't have one, too, for his Gesamtkunst (sp?). ) "So-called classical", but ironically not "strictly classical", music is the blood in my veins. I adore jazz, but do not know a whole lot, and would much appreciate enlightenment. Pink Floyd _does_ deserve its own category.

January -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 7:48:31 PM)
iwill, I put in my seven or eight choices. I would like reggae as a choice, too. Also Salsa. (I also think fondly of disco. Hey, it's rainin' men! Hallelujah!) January P.S. Does anybody here know who Tim Hardin is?

quote: ORIGINAL: basiasubrosa Though i'd personally replace Bartok with Bach. I enjoy listening to Bach, but I HATED playing it. It always felt so structured and regimental. Rarely did I feel like anything of me was involved in playing it. I hated teaching Bach too; I spent so much time trying to teach students to play, not just rotely perform what was on the paper, and then along comes Bach and all that goes out the window. I've aquired an appreciation for his work, over time, but he'll never be high on my list of favourites. (I'll admit that he was significant and important enough for his own category though.) Bartok, otoh....Bartok was ALL about investing myself in the notes and seeing what music came out the soundboard. Bartok and Khachaturian wrote music that was all about expressing myself (or teaching my students to do that) through and beyond what was written on the page. Ghads, I really have to get my piano tuned and spend some time playing again. sigh

GOTTA Love it! <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....)

basiasubrosa -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 8:10:50 PM)
Sherri- ah.... i see. Singing Bach is so much different from playing keyboard though. It feels like you are really a vessel of some divine spirit, from which this gorgeous mellifluous stream of music tumbles forth and joins all the other streams around you until you are all little specks carried away on a great inundation of pure grandiose beauty.

SherriA -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 8:49:36 PM)
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.)

basiasubrosa -> RE: What kind of music (7/27/2004 9:06:04 PM)
O FIE! What on earth do you mean, no dissonance??? O, O, O, O!!! That's what makes him so much more than just baroque! I remember the first time i sang B Minor Mass, and was awed by all the very 20th C sounding chords tucked away here and there. But, ok, ja, i have a soft spot for dissonance and cadence, too. BB is still the man, though the German Romantic in me prefers Mahler.

Thanatosian -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 8:40:27 AM)
Where's the rap option???[;)] on a more serious note, you forgot new age (enya, enigma, loreena mckennitt, manheimm steamroller, etc.)

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 5:37:47 PM)
ggod point.

iwillserveu -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 5:53:54 PM)
I know you were joking, but rap as distinct from hip-hop may be valid. (I don't know enough to say it isn't , so...)

jillwfsub4blkdom -> RE: What kind of music (7/28/2004 5:54:51 PM)
iwill dang i can't keep up with you lol. Thanks for adding my category too. [:)] jill
