Classical Music. Why does it get so much credit? (listening to music, cd)

Well, on a different note, I doubt Darkest is aware of all the godlike stuff from the 60's up til now anyway if he's focusing in on metalcore. And if you aren't aware of more than two or three genres, then you obviously have no clue what you are talking about anyway.

Hence, my advice to the OP is simple; Go do yourself a favor and check out/listen to some of the discographies of King Crimson, Yes, Comus, The Sonics, The Residents, Return to Forever, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Soft Machine, Magma, etc and still insist that music from before 1990 isn't superior to some of the stuff you are drooling over now.

Guys, has anyone else noticed the influx of noobs with low reading comprehension?

i like listening to the sonics in the morning when i'm installing car audio or working on my car, but i almost died in boredom listening to the others on that list.

Pathetic. It's been less than thirty minutes since I posted and you've dismissed ALL of them but The Sonics?

How come people aren't allowed to dislike classic rock, seriously?

I ****ing hate most songs by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

I love them and respect them loads for doing what they did, but am I not allowed to dislike their music just because they are so important?

I grew up listening to all of them, since both my parents like them...so I've heard loads of their stuff.

The only song that stuck with me was Fool On A Hill.

Led Zeppelin on the other hand I love.

To dismiss music simply because its old is absurd. Does anyone really need to explain to you? that it takes more creativity to pioneer a genre than it does to copy it. Music gets designated classic not simply because its been around a while, but because it has a timeless quality that allows people to go on appreciating it long after the era in which it was created. The music you love now will one day be considered classic (that is if it doesn't already suck) what will you do then?

Darkest Hour · 03-20-2009, 07:53 PM

classic rock is just boring to me. Absolutely no emotion or anything. It's still good to listen to every once in a while, but meh.

So because there isn't anyone growling and screaming into the mic, it has no emotion?

Most Beatles tunes were rather happy songs. Happy = emotion.

A lot of classic rock songs were about love or things that were happening at the time, like war. War is sad. Sadness = emotion. Love = emotion.

I don't understand how you think classic rock music has no emotion. Pretty much every song has emotion.
