July 14, 200718 yr Seeing as there are many threads on favourite classical music, I thought of making a favourite non-classical music thread. So what are you guys' favourite non-classical pieces? It can range from anything. Pop, rock, rap, jazz, instrumental, techno, metal, etc. etc.. So for mine it's (in no particular order): 1. Yanni - Nice to meet you. 2. Yanni - The End of August. 3. Hans Zimmer - Up is down ( from the pirates of the caribbean soundtrack) 4. John Adorney - To the other shore. 5. Jim Brickman - Rocket to the Moon 6. Jim Brickman - If You Believe 7. Yanni - Swept Away 8. Yanni - Within Attraction 9. Yanni - 10. David Lanz - Cristofori's Dream Last but not least, Dr Bombay's ! :happy:As you can see, I'm a huge Yanni fan.:huh: EDIT: Make sure you check out the kick donkey duo violins in Yanni's within attraction, and Santorini too!

July 14, 200718 yr I love ragtime music. Reminds me of Mario. Then there's some fado I like. I don't like fado singing when it's too fado-ish. Some fado-ish is great. Too much is pathetic and ugly. Then I like Iberian arabesques and Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence, which is a masterpiece.
July 15, 200718 yr Then there's some fado I like. I don't like fado singing when it's too fado-ish. Some fado-ish is great. Too much is pathetic and ugly :happy: I saw Ana Moura once....is she too fado-ish for you? She was allright, her band was absolutely fantastic though.
July 15, 200718 yr anything Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin,The Doors, Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd and some other guys i'm going to think of later. (and NO BEATLES, I HATE THE BEATLES)
July 15, 200718 yr Why is there no Miles on that list?!?! Sinner. I'm not really into that kind of music Miles plays. I do like Modal jazz/Fusion/Whatever he plays, but it's not my Absolutely-Favorite-OMG-I'll-choose-that-over-anything kinda genre. ;) I'm more into straight and simple Big Band. ;) But I do pull out Kind of Blue once in a while. :)
July 15, 200718 yr Favorite non-classical? You'll have to get WAY more specific than that... I'd be here all day filling this out.
