Some of you folks will call me uncool when I say that I'm really into orchestra-type music. I like Baroque and Classical music. I also happen to like other orchestra-type music as well. I happen to have the soundtracks of all six Star Wars films. I plan to sometime get the soundtracks of the Star Trek films. My favorite composers are J. S. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. I plan to expand that with individuals like Shostakovich, Chopin, possibly Rachmaninov, Copland, Williams, Goldsmith, Wagner (regardless of his anti-Semitism), Brahms, Schubert, Haydn, Bizet, and I can keep on going on and on, but you get the idea. Although I like this type of music, I don't mind (when having to do so) heavy metal, rock and roll, and 40s-70s oldies. One type of music that I can't stand is that keyboard-infested junk from the 80s. I can't stand much of that music because it's too depressing to me since the theme is sex and nightlife. You can find some of that trash on The Terminator. I figure some of you might hate me for that, but if Beethoven was able to "grab fate by the throat," imagine what I, an admitted lunatic, could do under the influence of a whole s**tload of Baroque and Classical and Orchestra-oriented artwork.
Anyone like to share their thoughts on their music?
