Music - 25 November 2007

When I say "classical music", I mean it in the broadest possible definition.

Film score composers would count. As would all the other Avant Gard composers of the 20th century. Other composers not typically thought of as 'classical' might also qualify for inclusion. But I think we all instinctively have a good idea what the limits are.

My favorite 5, in no particular order:

Philip Glass
John Tavener
Arvo Part
Steve Reich
Pierre Boulez

I am no doubt forgetting some living composers who I also love. But the above are truly great, in my mind.

Who do YOU think are the 5 greatest living composers of classical music??

I need a cool song for my myspace. I like those songs that are like a good beat rock song or rap song. The songs they play when popular people are slowly walking down a hallway. If you know what i mean then thanks if you dont tell me what you dont understand.

people are always talking about how heavy metal is so evil and satanic, when i tell them i think that its pretty rad, they go insane and think im some kind of satanist. But hip/hop is SO much worse, but they are fine with it! why is this?

What do you think of it? How does it make you feel? What is your favorite song? Do you think rock operas will dissappear due to the download industry?

The best example is KFC, which uses an "altered version" of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic "Sweet Home Alabama" in its commercials. The commercial's song sounds similar but is a few notes off from "Sweet Home Alabama" and is played in a different chord and at a faster tempo. My friend and I were wondering if perhaps KFC made this song slightly different so that they could claim it was actually a "different song," and therefore avoid having to get permission from Lynyrd Skinyrd and pay out royalties for using it. Sounds like KFC is being cheap...what do you think?

Another example of this is a commercial I saw earlier today, which uses a song that sounds almost exactly like The Kink's "All day and into the night," but off by a few notes.

Do you think companies do this deliberately to avoid having to pay the artists royalties for using their songs/rifts?

I don't know who sings it but he sounds similar to tom jones or inglebert humperdink. The only word I remember from the song is "willpower".

what's the name of this one song, I heard it on TK 99 but didn't catch the name of it. It sounds like a Rolling Stones song, or an AC/DC song. I typed into google what I remember, or what it sounded like but nothing came up. It sounds as if the lyrics go "I'm your best with a son of a *****"

~ Thank you ~

Something like "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey.
I really don't care what genre, but I would LOVE some pop ones.
Like, Britney Spears, X-tina and such.
This would be very helpful, thanks.

I know very little about rap but I'm trying to expand my music tastes. The rap I did like was Arrested Development and Digable Planets. I'm looking for rap with good beat and good background music but that isn't Thug Life fo Life type of stuff.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanx

I've never heard a cover that has been that great compared to the original - but then again i haven't heard that many.
I like the Sisters of Mercy's gloomy take on "Comfortably Numb" though.

My least favourite is that ghastly Scissor Sisters cover of "Comfortably Numb".. jeezus peas, that cover is just horrendous.

You?
