I am adoooring Holst at the moment.
I just...The Nine Planets movement is breath-taking.

I wouldn't give classical music such a clean slate as to say it doesn't have its fair share of mindless nonsense. Of course, it's often down to matter of opinion, but for example, many people have a lot of trouble understanding the music of composers like Cage (e.g.) or Stockhausen (e.g.); it's very easy to see these as nonsensical. And there are certainly pieces that I find mind-numbingly inane, Pachelbel's Canon in D being just one.
- Danse Macabre.:
- danse macabre by camille saint saens will forever be my favorite (haha, hence my username). i used to think moonlight sonata was the best, but there's nothing that tops danse macabre. classical songs themselves are just emotions, and i think that's something that a lot of music nowadays lacks. i mean, rock is all about emotion, so i'm not judging. but half the crap we hear on the radio is just mindless nonsense (of course there are exceptions) but classical is just purely feeling.
One of my favorites.
