(poco) Sforzando

Only insofar as "Everybody shits." :laugh:

Yes, but some are more constipated than others.

Oh, and lumping together all animated TV shows? Puhleease.

I didn't lump all animated shows together, just the ones I disliked. :) Like Brian, I actually like Futurama and also Ren & Stimpy, Aeon Flux, Looney Tunes, and a plethora of Hanna-Barbera ones.

I'm with you, John.  I realize these two are sacred cows, probably for a reason, but Italian opera is just not my cup of tea, or cappuccino.

Right on. There's plenty of people that enjoy it, but I never could acquire the taste for it.

Yeah, Futurama is AWESOME!

As good as Futurama is, liking Futurama but not The Simpsons (seasons 2-8) is just wrong.  ;)

Hey, it´s not a competition, we´re just having fun (at least I do) --- but I like the way you put it.   :D

Thread duty: my opinion is that Schubert achieved efortlessly and naturally in a one-hour-long, piano-and-voice-only work what Wagner struggled hard to achieve in a whole four-night-long, overbloated-orchestra operatic tetralogy.  ;D

Here's a fact: it is unwise to hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain and that's where shitty ideas come from. I guess that all the worst composers held their farts in and all the best let it rip whenever they could. In my opinion, Boulez was a real stinker and therefore a great composer. 8)

"Chamber music is more interesting than orchestral music."
I thought everybody knew that ; )

J. S. Bach's music is always perfectly crafted, and very near to always it is also perfectly boring.

If so, why am I never bored?

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Some people find crossword puzzles deeply entertaining and satisfying, and... uh, this thread IS about opinions,  :D

In all honesty, I think it depends a hell of a lot on how it's played.
I finally have the ability to edit my signature again. But no, I've no idea what I want to say here right now.

I think it mainly depends on how well it's sung.
