Boy George is a fat useless talentless idiot IMHO..I cant even bear to look at him and he puts make up on better than I do infact this smilie looks him

Aye, but talent also involves putting yourself across. He ain't doing nowt now.......bit of DJing, bit of community service recently but he was out there in the 80s.

I usually stick to my classical AND RRRRRRRRROCK!

My taste in music is quite catholic but Opera is my love..I like everything except trad jazz and and heavy rock

I can't listen to jazz - it makes my right eye go funny, especially the improvised crap. Actually, I do like jazz-influenced rock, a la Steely Dan.

May have to start a new thread - a Jukebox or is there one here already? I'll ave a lookie.

Actually its not a mother crying for her son..I always thought it was, its an 18 year old girl singing to her mother..well you live and learn :Jump:

Edit again I was right..there are clearly many interpretations of this stirring and spine chilling symphony

I love music from all periods. Harpsichord is not as popular as it was, I guess because it is not as expressive as the piano, but some of Bach's work is so worth listening to for a) its intricacy and b) its sheer ellegance.

One of my faves:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwfmtRcQAvI Bach - Chromatic Fantasy in D Minor

Guest Thu 28 Aug - 0:21

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elu7ml3GswQ Brahms - Hungarian dance No 6

My favourite Csárdás

Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 One of my fave Liszt pieces. GOOSEBUMPS :Super:

Another of my fave Liszt pieces:

Liebestraume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejXPcv9MS7s

Very erotic music (erm.... totally disregard the dude playing the piano - just listen and feel).

Given the choice: Baroque/Classical/Romantic - it has to be the Romantic period! DEFFO (although I love all three periods).

A confession - my interest in classical music partly dates back to my teenage years - I watched 'A Clockwork Orange', which featured 'Ludwig Van'. I was captured.

Yes, I love Dvorak!!!!!!

I prefer the Slavonic Dances though.

I can just see the dancers coupled together holding a handkerchief.
