That's a good philosophy. LOL
I like Tchaikov"sky, but I only know his greatest hits.
 
I also like what I have heard from Prokofiev but that is only a couple of songs.

That's one thing about DT albums for me is because of their length they take two or three listens before I really start recognizing the songs.


True that. Also, I get bored halfway through the albums and start reading instead of paying attention.

Thanks.  I wrote up the bio last night...it's hard to do that without sounding pretentious anyway (especially using third person).  Embarrassed


A bio? Shocked

Well...an auto-bio.  LOL

It is extremely good. I like ELP's version too though, but this is better.
 
Fight Club was an ok movie.

Never seen it.

While I've not read Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk is an amazing author (his books are very short too).

Check out Lullaby (that one is my favorite by him, the twisted b*****d).

Fight Club is a great movie!


Black Clouds and Silver Linings actually impressed me a whole lot when I listened to it yesterday, same with Octahedron!

'Tis. Though Stravinsky just about flattens every other composer I've heard for melody and attack, and Rachmaninov for personality and beauty. That said, I haven't heard nearly enough other composers.


Stravinsky is amazing. He's my favorite so far, but I'm still a mega newbie.

I've yet to hear that.  I always say that I am going to check out some of these classical songs that prog bands have rockified but I almost never get around to doing it.  Although, I do have Holst's Planets so I've at least listened to 1 of them. LOL

I need to hear it a few more times. It'll either get 3 or 4 from me.
