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.

lol. somewhere deep inside i agree with you, but im not gonna show it because i know i would get stabbed by people.

Good call... Agreeing with Gianluca is basically an open invitation for stabbings 'round here. I have a special dagger exclusively for that purpose...it was given to me by an Afghan Emir who had used it to usurp his title from an evil old man who had used all his money to build a palace entirely out of coffee beans.

Needless to say, I'm pleased you chose not to express your agreement ... especially concerning the "all pop music" segment...although, there's no need to bring THAT up again...

Pachelbel wrote some really nice music; too bad we just remember him for that cheesy canon. :(

QFT.

Pachelbel wrote some amazing music, and I like the god-damned canon.

In fact a lot of the scraggy people say here they hate I actually like, yay! Save Mahler, I actively don't like Mahler's music regardless of it's academic importance. Or Bruckner, but there's a couple of things by Mahler and Bruckner which I find OK too, so, eh.

Also, Peteris Vasks mention FTW... Mentioned by Gianluca FTL. :<

Hopefuly he'll keep posting so this turns loltastic +1.

The people who listen to Pachelbel's canon hours on end and enjoy it are probably the same people that listen to Fur Elise, the Turkish rondo, and a condensed version of Ode to Joy (because the actual movement is too "long") and NOTHING else in the classical music realm. Yet they claim to "love" classical music.

Pachelbel wrote some pretty nice pieces for the organ.

Here's one of them.
