Happy Bday Wolfgang! 

Thanks again nevets for posting classical music! Mozart was the Beatles, Who, Stones, and Zepplin of his time, no, wait, of all time. He was and will always be the biggest rock star ever.

Mozart's Requiem could possibly be the most brilliant and moving piece of music in history. Period. Every single note grabs your ear. It defies description. I can't say that of any contemporary music.

Good stuff man. Thanks.

Just to put things in perspective, Wolfie lived in the 1700's. No electricity. No computers. No recording software.  No auto-tune (gasp!). He wrote, note for note,  40 minute long symphonies of incredible beauty and complexity by hand that included 28 different instruments. 

And yet, we crown someone who pumps out a song in 2 days using a computer loop and a drum machine as one of the best creative geniuses of all time....

A couple nights ago I tuned in to an unplugged performance of the Scorpions. I was like WTF? ANOTHER amazing band that I kind of ignored through the decades when I was younger. They were over the top amazing. Immaculate musicians. Ear catching songwriting. And the singer has great tone and control and can hit some notes. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Right now.... one of the finest guitar solos ever played.... Maggot Brain by Funkadelic... One that I could put on repeat and listen to all day.

People go overboard describing his greatness but nonetheless, he wrote a ton of great music.

The kid in the Moonlight Sonata Android commercial playing a Bach Partita. Will we be seeing more performers w/tattoos? I dunno, but it takes a little of the stale uptightness of classical music away.

Waldstein - too bad there's no 3rd movement.
