Not today. Today is a Jack Johnson day. I lurve me some "Taylor". That initial guitar riff is wonderful.

Sorry, didn't mean to divert your thread. :)

Where's the puke icon? :P

Most of zappa's stuff is such crap! My husband is one a HUGE zappa kick right now - and as a classically trained musician almost all of his stuff makes my skin crawl. Some of his instrumental stuf I can stand, most of it I can't. I totally understand why he was never mainstream.

As far as me I'm listening to a classical compilation album - currently playing Vivalid's concerto for two mandolins.

On my commute this morning I was listening to Handel and Mozart.

I like Beethoven, especially his Ninth Symphony, preferably without the chorus in the last part. His Fifth is definitely a classic. I also like Mozart pretty well, for the mellower times. Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries is also a favorite. Mostly the classical music I listen to is whatever is on NPR when I'm driving. The contemporary stations appeal to me less and less these days, due mostly to commercials and the DJs.

Carmina Burana - the original, not the techno version - Carl Orlf.

Anything redone by Trans-Siberian Orchehstra is awesome, too. Saw them last night. :)
