Audiophanatik:
Someone much smarter than I, once said, "There are only two kinds of music, good & bad." The really cool part is, you and I both get to choose.
Form your responses I can tell that you did not spend all of your youth playing nintendo, you also read a book or two and have the ability to assimilate writen thoughts. I want to suggest (in the most friendly manner, no slam or flame ment) you read a good set of liner notes explaining Beethoven's inspiration/motivation for writing each of his symphonies, then turn up your stereo. The man and his music were truly revolutionary. He goes from in-your-face to shredding your soul and back! I think of his music in a tactile way, it goes from velvet (soft, heavy, rich with color) all the way to lace (starched, white, with the sun shining through the pattern). Turn it up, the man can set you free (I get the same trip from SRV & Mike Bloomfield, by the way).
