A Richard Wagner - Liebestod



B Pitchshifter 'Hidden Agenda'

[Reactionary Rage]

A is one of the greatest pieces of music ever.

Given the voting I'm sure it'll lose to B....

The very nerve of A! The whole history of rock music, and they go back even farther! Before the invention of the electric guitar, even! I mean, seriously! We're supposed to care about this egghead, longhair shit? Nobody really likes this stuff, do they? Well, I probably prefer Bach, Beethoven, and Britten to Wagner, but I still admire the choice, and not so much because of what it is, but for going against the grain.

B is obnoxious, which I guess is the point, but A is likely to lose and has much larger testicles.

I don't know if it's the one of the greatest pieces of music ever, there are many other operatic arias I prefer. But there is an austere beauty there. B can fuck off.

It was vaguely familiar, but I don't know it well. I tend to find Wagner a little stern and teutonic..I prefer Puccini!
Brave pick though and I did enjoy it.

Embrace your inner teutonic self!  

Give it a few more listens if you have the chance, especially after a few glasses of red.  It's out of this world.

At least you didn't abstain.

Gah, I'd love to have voted for a bit of Pitchshifter against yer high-falutin' posh music, but you've completely gone for the wrong era. Something from their first couple of albums, like "Diable" or something, when they took Ministry and Godflesh and ramped up the metal a notch to be a bit more brutal. I've often wondered why there's never been more of a crossover between extreme metal and drum n bass, I reckon the textured fuzz of black metal would go with some amen break assaults, but this is just a bit too MTV-y again, it's too polished and tame again. I knew I should've picked some Atari Teenage Riot.

I won't pretend to be the world's most informed opera buff, though I like a bit of Diamanda Galas, but I do like A more.

Agreed.  I remember my Opa playing it.
