All depends on the class of music. Rhapsody In Blue is great jazz, but I could listen to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody over and over again. Both are great for their genre.
For classical music, I prefer Blue Danube (Strauss II), 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky), Water Music (Handel), Bolero (Ravel), Waltz of the Flowers (Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker Suite).
..all depends on how I am feeling.
wash2u: "Pop" as in popular??????
Ray Miller was popular during WWII. A mate was popular with his music in the UK charts with the band Armagedon Now (heavy metal). I loved their music, hated the singing.
My father's favourite entertainer was Johnny O'Keefe. I enjoyed him as an entertainer but he was not a good singer.
I do love to listen to Dean Martin and Julie Garland (especially "Over the Rainbow")

Pop music as it is called is short for popular originally.Judy Garland singing that almost brings a tear to the eye.

Aw shucks, yes it does.pedalguy59: Aw shucks, yes it does.
Which is why I have to be in a good mood to put the Judy Garland CD on.
Watched the Edinburough Tattoo on New Years Eve. The swirl of the bagpipes does stir a few emotions.

Not classical but "These Foolish Things" Ella Fitzgerald does a top job of it, about 1936. I can see myself with a dry martini draped over a piano - Gatsby style?
Bryan Ferry did an updated version and being a red hot total spunk - drooool
And here's the man himself, think I prefer this version.
Saw him live when I was about 17yo still got the 'album'
Think I need to go and have a lie down after listening to that :angel:

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Still my favorite piece of music of all time.

Thread title a bit confusing where it says Classical, and thenPre Pop. which Classical is, but not what I think he was looking for.
