[Belerphon]

[Broken]

[mariusthegreat]

well...the poll asks for composser...as for favorite...anything you'd like to add..that deals with classical..or contemporary music....by that i mean insturmenal..string....etc..etc.. .

[Unforgiven]

Led Zeppelin :cool:

[dustinzgirl]

You mean Flight of the bumble bee? ::Grindin my teeth::

Yeah that one! Hey, thats one thing i never took was music class. Im not musical at all. White girl with no rhythm and no taste! LOL

And Un---Hell Yeah Zepplin rules!!

[FUBAR]

as far as symphonys go...the symphony of destruction is by far the best so i say dave mustaine

[skylinec]

i don't like that type of musik but for the sake of the pole... i like Beethoven's name so i voted for him

[Broken]

You forgot Paganni.

[YUCK FOU!!!]

mozarts the only one i know so thus he is my favorite

[RedOctober]

Wagner is very favorit in American gunships... :cool:

Walkures and Götterdämmerung..
And Panzerlied of course.

:geige: :hviking: :beerchug:

[betrayed]

He's not classical, but I think he introduced a new type of jazz/classical.. Sinatra baby! Frankie owns you..

[msalyss85]

Mozart '04

[supposedtabeme]

The Four Stations of Vivaldi rocks (as much as classical music can rock..which is more than people think!)

[bigck3000]

AHEM!! LISZT anybody??? the man was a genius.

[magnolia]

Isn't it odd how the more well known composers are also the ones who have the highest vote? Hmmm... :tongue: I personally like classical music a lot cuz I can take and play most of it on my flute.

[Forceflow]

The Four Stations of Vivaldi rocks (as much as classical music can rock..which is more than people think!)
I second that.

[supposedtabeme]

I second that.

You second the Vivaldi rocks part? or the generality of "classical music rocks".

[DanGeo23]

... the dead guy.... don't remember his name...

[RedOctober]

President Bush went to China to meet President Hu.

He asked him.. "Do you have elections?"

Hu did think a moment about it, and said with a laugh...

"Yes, I have them evely day!"

:D

[switch_scribe]

Since Caldara isn't listed - I'll go with Mozart. Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) is just fab.

[Captain 151]

I think you mean the Four Seasons.

Anyway, Prokofiev is not listed here, and he is my favorite. The Cinderalla Suite, his many symphonies... There is a passion i feel with his music. I also particularly like Britten (sp?) for his overly dramatic style.

Of your list, I'll pick Tchaikovsky, thanks largely in part to 1812, however, to those other classical music fans, I must reccomend this piece:

"Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber. A truly beautiful piece of music, one that evokes an emotion from me every time I listen.

[bnccoder]

I listen to everything classical included. You have to give credit to others too though. Tool, Ozzy, Black Sabbith, Metallica, AC/DC, Godsmack, Korn, and Pantera, it was through music like this that we became what we are today.


Who was it who made the one with the violins that sounded like donkeys? It had Grand Canyon in the name of it.

[Easty]

Nobuo Uematsu is great! (he's the composer for the Final Fantasy series). Among the poll options, I've gotta go with Mozart. Really helps with the studying. Handel's work on the Messiah was fuckin pimp though. :thumbsup:

[Woodreaux]

No Wagner ballot? WTF?!? I like Wagner.

[fierychik78]

I have come to realize that most people on WTF are considerably younger and probably have not really listened to much classical music in their lives. I personally enjoy the hell out of it. It relaxes me, when my children are driving me up a wall...lol Don't get me wrong, Im not some old fart, Im 27. As for the other composers you listed, I LOVE Danny Elfman, you can always pick out his music in movies, it has that specific sound to it. He's great!

[Brain Spout]

You mean Flight of the bumble bee? ::Grindin my teeth::

it is quite a remarkable song and anyone who can play it on the piano definitely deserves a lot of credit.

[Mr.Happy]

i picked beethoven because his shit is fresh

[dull_bullet]

it is quite a remarkable song and anyone who can play it on the piano definitely deserves a lot of credit.

my friend can play it on saxophone but i don't think that counts for anything.

[billybob13]

Tchaikovsky made the suprise symphony right? I have about 2 gigs of classical music on my mp3 player from the bejing philharmonic. I listen to it all day.

[Vader]

i picked the only one i knew.... mozart!

[keebs]

speacking of composers, hes not a classic composer, b/c in our time, but hes realy good, James Newton Howard, he was the composer for the Movie The Postman, and hes done some other things and other movie soundtracks.

[screwy]

Glenn Danzig.
