Do you mean Classical Period music or just classical music?
Also, when people who don't like or listen to jazz think the genre doesn't portray emotion well, that tells you a lot about how uninformed that opinion is.
There's lots of type of jazz and some of it just technical wankery that's not very interesting in terms of melodic expression, so I could see how someone would think all jazz is like that.
I have really been stuck on Take Five lately. It's not particularly obscure, but it's 5/4 so that's fun.
