 Post subject: Laughing Census #7 - What do you prefer?Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2007 8:15 am 
I'm using a broad definition for both. Classical = baroque, classical, romantic, MODERN classical (so like Phillip glass or Johnny Greenwood) Popular = Beatles, nsync, Eisley, Radiohead, U2, Damien Rice, Midlake, basically just about anything that's a band or singer/songwriter _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart!

I guess I should amend the title so it makes sense. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

I would prefer popular but, most of the bands I listen to aren't that well known. (That I know of) |

Yeah, I'm refering to popular as the broad 20th movement of music, not the actual popularity of the music. >_< _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

Considering the time period I've been born into and accustomed to, I'm going to have to select popular music. _________________

I listened to a lot of classical music when I was younger, but I eventually grew to love "pop" music as I got older. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

Oh, labels. Because I like the presence of lyrical content mixed with the variety of styles and instruments, contemporary/pop/modern music. Classical music is good, but why limit yourself when you can have it all in one package?  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

My mum calls Coldplay and Midlake pop: "you're going to a pop concert tonight, arn't you?" Given that I know that she doesn't mean, say, Atomic Kitten, Take That, Busted, or All Saints (my favourite pop artists, if you care...), she effectively means anything that's not classical. Music that is "popular". She also calls Midlake "very musical". Given that she prefers classical I think this is a good sign. (she likes Van Occupanther, I think). But yeah... popular. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

If musique concrete and electronic music not based around pop song structures counts as classical, then my vote is split. _________________ Coprophiliacs make sh*tty lovers. Flickr Transvaal IV - Myspace : Virb Deep Thoughts About Shallow Subjects |

To be fair, there is quite a bit of lyrical content in classical music as well. It's just that not all of us can speak Latin, German, Italian, French, etc. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |
