Allright,

gotta step in and rag on this thread for a moment.

For some reason i read the title of this thread and i picture some 45 year old bald guy in extremly expencive clothes sitting on his chair with his head back and hands over his heart with a pained smile and tear in his eye, taking a deep breath and whimpering a little as he exhales.

Oh, it is so beautiful it hurts! It is like it was written for me! -sniff- Me! Oh, how it aches.

BAH HAH HAH HAH SHUTTUP!

I like good music, and yes there is plenty of good music out there, and some very beautiful passages, but there is no music out there that makes me ribbit-up like a frog and cry.

Maybe im just too calloused.

Anyways, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful music is from the Legendary Pink Dots. Either the "Crushed Velvet Apocalyplse LP" or the "9 Lives to Wonder" Cd. Both beautiful, the latter album can get extremly haunting though.

Sorry, but i had to throw that in, ive been too good for too long! :)
