Rock better than Dance music?
Because i think so,it's played with real instruments like bass,drums,guitar,acoustic guitar,keyboards.

and many rock songs are classics now,like "Inna Gadda De vida."

Whereas dance music consists of electronic noise repeated over a singer's voice.


what say you?

11. I'm more a Mahler/Hindemith type, myself
Although, I do appreciate Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Vaughn Williams. (Most other classical, also--I'm a Horn player, after all.)

14. Love them all.
My weakness is R. Strauss but then I am a wind player and he wrote tremendous parts for us. Also Prokofiev, we are doing the 5th now and I have a kick ass Eb part. Ahhhh, I also have a weakness for Mahler and Brahms is very very nice as well. A horn player huh? We should get together and play a little Till!

Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 05:56 PM by RedXIII
the Byrds,Iron Butterfly,Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Elvis,the Beatles,BeeGess,Janis Joplin,Jefferson Airplane,and way more bands that are too numerous to list,anything before the 90's because that's when rock started becoming noise.

22. 90's too late.
I say anything after disco started is pretty lame. I did like the Bee Gees though. Disco left me cold.

There is still good stuff spread out after that and some of it I like but it is not nearly as prevalent or easy to find as it was in the 60's and 70's before disco started.

21. Wagner is always
a real jaw breaker! We just did Elsa's Procession on an already long program and I thought I would die! It is so deceptively easy but intonation is so important in the wind chorale that it is killer, beautiful though, very moving.

23. I love Elsa's Procession.
And agree that it's mind-bogglingly difficult, although techinically innocuous.

I'm playing with a group doing Franck's Seven Last Words of Christ Friday. That's a monstrous piece for several of the instruments, also. Really nice, though. Developing quite an appreciation for it.

16. Bach in style. Try it; it's Baroque
I love Bach, Vivaldi and the other Baroque composers. Oddly enough, though, my favorite music style is more in the new-grass to rock-a-billy end of the spectrum.

5. No!!!
When synths first hit the studio scene, 'real' musicians feared they were being replaced. But, a synth is just another tool. Musical talent is enhanced by the technology, not impeded by it...

Same is true for graphic art. The computer is a tool. There is no 'MAKE ART' key!!! It's good or bad, stands on it's own...

6. At least 90% of all music is crap, be it rock or dance or jazz or bluegrass or opera
There are many classic dance songs too, like "YMCA".

Some dance music has more than 100 sounds layered on top of each other, while you can make a well-produced rock song with two instruments. They both take skill and artistic talent to make.

Good music is good music, no matter what the genre.

But you gotta be really, really high.

10. too high to care how you look
because you're going to look really, really stupid doing it.

Then again, dancing isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel.

The top of my current hit parade are Rachid Taha and Gogol Bordello.

And no, I won't dance in public, don't want to hear Homer Simpson impersonators yelling "Lookit that blubber fly!"

17. Music is music, we all have our own style.
Personally I can't stand dance stuff. I'm a classically trained violinist and a home-taught rock guitarist.
