I've been avoiding this thread as I posted the same a few years back and almost completely changed the list within hours, anyway here goes. Sebastian- Cockney Rebel Anarchy in the UK- The Sex Pistols. Che gelida manina from La boheme- Puccini Love minus zero - Bob Dylan I don't mind - The Buzzcocks Guantanamera - Playing for change version Into my arms - Nick Cave Down in the sewer - The Stranglers. Edit: See what I mean, I already have to take Nick Cave out to make room Famous blue raincoat by Leonard Cohen, I also want to get some Pink Floyd in there too it's impossible.

One of these days, I’m going to stand behind him in the crowd waiting to get off and stage-whisper “damage incorporated” in his ear as everyone leaves the train.

As I expected, very few pieces of 'classical' music in people's lists. Shame.

As I expected, very few pieces of 'classical' music in people's lists. Shame. My opinion of classical music is forever tainted by one of my music teachers’ reactions to the discovery that after maybe five years, six music exams, and two different musical instruments, I couldn’t actually read music. Basically, I wasn’t able to progress beyond the point where the teacher stopped playing me the pieces before expecting me to learn them. These days, you can stream pretty much anything so it wouldn’t necessarily be an issue, but back then… Bam! Brick wall hit, and one f*cking apesh*t music teacher! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/5458784/images/nQPoSIK_iUaf9knSLEhD.gif)

Could never narrow it down, but…
The Mountain Goats - This Year The Weakerthans - This is a Fire Door, Never Leave Open Sugar - If I Can’t Change Your Mind Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land Belle & Sebastian - I’m a Cuckoo Bruce Hornsby - The Show Goes On Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 William Elliott Whitmore - Song of the Blackbird
But sometimes the vibe changes…

Doubt when todays mote popular classics were first written the composers would be shocked if someone told them they,d be still heard hundreds of years in the future. Many though have been lost in time and never get to be heard anymore. Overall their is a stigma on classical music being thought of as for the toffs and not us serfs. Thats if you actually get through music lessons at school unscathed by a teacher who classes popular music as second rate with singers that cannot sing and instrumentalists unable to play. An opinion that would up my partners father who was a trumpeter with the geraldo band of the 30,s and 40,s but could play classical stuff when he wanted to or asked.

Classic FMs "Hall of Fame" where listeners vote for their favourites now regularly features film and gaming music in the top 300. The "classic" pieces usually win out in the top 20 though. Watched the First Night of the Proms yesterday. There was some new piece with a voiceover and choir- definitely not my cup of tea. But the Beethoven and Bruckner were great. The Proms now feature a wider genre of music rather than just the traditional stuff.
