* Races out to center-field, retrieves flag and earns Team Grieg a point.

* Grieg however, takes the point and offers me as a sacrifice by sending me to the Hall Of The Mountain King, where I am forced to kill Ase and dance with Anitra forever more.

* Spirit comes back to destroy all creation with the Danse Macabre.

Freakin' Saint-Saens...

*Breaks out the big "missiles" of pop music*

*bombs chodelkovzart then bombs the headquarters of the Liberal party with German polka music*

Well, at least the New Democratic Party survives. *Bombs conservative party with Mahler*

*Conservatives are empowerd with the Mahler bombing*

*Bombs the Blocheads with Debussy*

*Bombs the Laytonites with Berlioz*

*Bombs the Liberals with Ravel*

You do know that Berlioz, Ravel, and Debussy all give super pwnage powers to those they are dropped on, right?

Why? Their French. Last I checked, they lost in against the Germans! :P

(at first :ermm:)

Yeah and I like Ravel and DeBOSSY..and berlioz. Damnit you just killed YC's best mahlerian!!!

Well, then...

*bombs NDP with Ives and Vaughan Williams*

Anglo-American pwnage.

Elgar Cello Concerto. I hate it. It's rubbish. And i'm a cellist, so it's apparantly a crime!

Elgar Cello Concerto. I hate it. It's rubbish.

You hate it...but it's certainly not rubbish. Do you dislike it because you can't keep up with the second movement? ;)

elgar's cello concerto isnt as good as i had expected. but its not rubbish.

*Mows everyone down with machinegun-like minimalist repeating cells*

*Romanticist wonderrs where he was when the war was going on and why he didn't participate*

*Romanticist sees that the war is still going on*

*Romanticist shoves a tritone and a handful of radioactive xenakis and ligeti up Mozart's donkey..thus anding the war officially*

*After claiming all the lost territory from the Mozart people for the Mahlerians and Brucknerians (even though Bruckner was too busy touching little catholic girls and did scraggy to help) Romanticist signs a non agression pack with the debussyites putting an end to the fighting*

Romanticist signs a non agression pack with the decatites ensuring putting an end to the fighting

I'm sure that ends the non-aggression pact...

Aww, Roman tried to make a pun.... cutee.

*reads roman's post*

thats actually really creatively written. 0.o

Hmmm...let's see...

Well, Mozart's Symphony No. 41 (Jupiter), clearly :/ (Hey, I don't hate all Mozart. 25 and 40 are quite tolerable, and I even like some of his works for piano and string quartet, so don't flame me.)

Rachmaninov's C# minor prelude

Stravinsky's Violin Concerto

Most of the works of Schubert I've heard (some his chamber music being notable exceptions)

I'm a violinist and I dislike heavily most violin concertos. I cannot stand overexaggerated virtuosity..it's just bland and uninteresting.

Some of them are actually pretty good. Listen to the Berg - it's very hard, but not extremely virtuosic, in that it's not pointlessly showy.

Marry me.

Hmm...

Where to start?

There are the obvious candidates like the Pachelbel canon, but I am assuming here that I am comparing my tastes in music to those of people with some musicality, so I'll leave such pieces alone.

Right now, my pet hates:

Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending

Schubert: Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished), particularly the second movement

Chopin: The Piano Concerti

Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2

Rossini: Thieving Magpie Overture

Brahms: Violin Concerto

All Pop Music (already said, but I agree completely)

Well, it's a start. There are plenty more, and I may return to let off some more steam at a later stage.

Oh, and to ANYONE who said Mahler, Shostakovich or Sibelius, :angry::(:sadtears::angry:

What is with the hating on 1812 recently?!

Hmm...

All Pop Music

Really? All of it?

Why do people insist on making moronic statements like that!?
