Nigel Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 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!

M_is_D Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 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.

Franzman Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 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. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightscape Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have a fondness for Radiohead, Sara Mclachlan, and a lot of 80s and early 90s music. I also enjoy listening to jazz although I have a hard time remembering the names of the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violinfiddler Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'd have to say 'Blessed be the name', it's a worship song, I LOVE worship music. That, and celtic to a lesser extent, is really all I listen to besides classical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
