Your Favourite Song Of 2003

[Visti]

Hmm. That's a tough one.


Perhaps The Mars Volta - Cicatriz ESP.


Bah. I don't know. There's too many to choose from.

[Las Naranjas]

To add on to what Remixor said, the musical styles of Classical and Romantic were just incarnations of the larger artistic movements, the latter being a reaction against the former.

[taryuu]

and to add to what las said, the romantic era came about because (in part) because of an increase in public concerts, therefore making the whims of the royal patron less of an issue.

Sorry, DMITRI, I'll try to get it right.

What I meant was that a song by definition is "a melody for voice", meaning a piano concerto doesn't fall into that category. But now that I look it up in a dictionary, it says it can also be a lyric piece for any instrument, which I would interpret to mean a short melodic composition, but that's just an assumption. Although I doubt such a monumental work as a concerto or Requiem would fall into the song category.

and Remixor:
I used the term "classical" loosely because that seems to be the common misnomer for "The Common Practice Period".

To comment on Stravinsky, I would say that while I think The Rite of Spring is definately his most well-known piece of music, and rightly so, that The Firebird is a LOT more lyrical and descriptive. Plus it suits itself better to ballet than the former.

And since we're talking about modern music, I would have to say that Ravel is my favorite 20th cent. composer. La Valse is probably the coolest thing I've listened to! He's also written some gorgeous piano works.

thanks slugg, I appreciate it

[Al_Ninio]

Favorite song of 2003?
Probably "30 Seconds to Mars - Edge of the Earth"

[auhsor]

Hmm, i don't know. I havnt really got any new stuff for a while. I've really been getting into Jeff Buckley tho, although thats not new stuff. Dream Theater have also been good, but yeah. I spose i dont have a song for 2003.

Dmitri.... aaargggh Philip Glass SuX000rS bigtime! Lets just play the same rythm over and over again with the same chord sequence awful.

As for Weird Al (quality music now) does anyone remember those Irn Bru adverts that had a custome version of "You don't Love me anyw more" from In At the Deep End? There was this girl who kept hurting her boyfirend by accident "I've got a funny feeling that you've been drinking Irn Bru"...

AH, those classic Irn Bru adverts:

Was this Weird Al too?

Don't you know it's one of those ads?
Lots of kids with white teeth and giant shoulder pads.
It's not a drink from those crazy yanks
Because it's made right here, you know it's tougher than tanks!
Made in Scotland from girders.
Unpronouncable too!
Made in Scotland from girders.
It's called Barr's, Irn Bru!?
Hey this ad is really quite fun
And you see the hit single go to Number One.
The only fly in the ointment of Irn Bru's that claim:
Made in Scotland from girders.
There goes my chance of fame
It's a bit of a shame.


EDIT: Hey isn't the internet great:
