Pieces everyone else likes but you

Most of Brahms' chamber music and most of Tchaikovsky's symphonies. I can't stand musical schmalz.

P.S. I'm going to screw with everyone's minds now. Pachelbel's canon ISN'T A CANON. It's a passacaglia.

Mozart's piano concertos? The Barber adagio? Wieniawski's polonaises? ANYTHING by Mahler? Symphonie Fantastique? Rhapsody in Blue? Wozzeck? How the fuck can you people call yourselves musicians? Bah.

No, we're just not sheeple. Have fun conforming with the masses, bahhhhh.

PACHEBEL'S CANON. o, you guys said that already.

spring from the four seasons
fur elise
chopin's second nocturne
mahler's symphonies (DONT KILL ME!)
anything by wagner *waits for rocks to hit her*

theres more, but im too lazy to mention them.

I really can't stand the faure fantasie for flute/piano. It's like, 'Oh my god, you're playing the Faure?? I love that piece! Here, let's play it together! The opening is beautiful! The second movement is so much fun!' when you even mention it, like you're supposed to know it from memory, and the second movement is the ditziest piece of shlock I've ever heard. grrrrrrr.

Can't think of any

How about pieces that I like and everyone else hates? I can give you a huge list of those

New music that's associated with the so-called "New Spirituality" movement, i.e., the music by the likes of Pärt, Kancheli, Gorecki (especially his Third Symphony, what an overrated piece of crap), Penderecki (although I admire his radical early stuff; he's a bit of a fallen genius), Peteris Vasks, Gavin Bryars and John Tavener.

Many pieces by Tchaikovsky.

Most pieces by Shostakovich (to quote Boulez, he's just a second or even third pressing of Mahler), Rachmaninoff (so terribly bombastic, clichéd and sentimental it hurts), Barber and Britten.

Almost anything by those retrogressive American contemporary composers of neo-tonal schlock that are so popular nowadays, e.g., John Adams (especially his terribly kitschy 9/11 piece that won a Pulitzer Prize), Corigliano, Kernis, Joan Tower, etc.

Anything Philip Glass wrote after "Einstein on the Beach".

Anything by Sibelius and Ralph Vaughan Williams (two completely uninteresting and incompetent composers).

All pop music.

Wow, you really like to write huge chunks of material off as crappy.

My personal dislike is Eric Whitacre right now actually - specifically his two "lazy" pieces: "This Marriage" and "A Boy and A Girl." It's like he's saying, "Screw melody - I'm just going to write a bunch of root-position major triads with non-chord tones added." And then I die of boredom.

The pieces mentioned in my post are of very diverse styles. That means I 'conform with the masses'?
