So tired of music threads.

Why doesn't everybody just say "Stairway to Heaven" and get it over with?

That seems to the popular consensus for good music, never-mind the 300 years of musical tradition preceding it.

And Bolero.

I'm not being a wetblanket, I'm trying to figure out if peoples' taste in music has declined so much that they're willing to accept touchy-feely guitar solos complemented by some squawking teenager, all preceded by a cheesy violin and piano intro as good music.

In today's day and age, we can call that good music.

But I don't think you can call the majority of music made in the last half century or so truly beautiful. Especially when there's far more complex, complicated, and musically sound pieces out there. As somebody who is fascinated with people like Mozart, it almost frightens me that people compare manufactured garbage to his music.

I see beautiful music as music which touches a certain part of you (no evidence doll required). It doesn't have to be intricate, heavy, soft or anything in particular, it just needs to strike a certain part of your psyche, which makes you sit back and listen and think "wow". Another way to put it, most music can be listened to as simply background noise, no matter how good the song, you can do other things whilst it's playing. A beautiful song will have you stop what you are doing just so you can take it all in.

Here are 5 songs, which I find beautiful and moving in their own way.

Spoiler: Another Brick in Hadrians Wall- King Arthur OST

Spoiler: Tania- Enemy at the Gates OST

Spoiler: Mana(part of anyway)

Hmmm I'm still thinking if that was supposed to be a compliment to my pallet in music or an insult!
But really everyone has their taste in music and we just have to accept that Even if it's a steaming pile of shit.

 

[nightowl195]

"Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine.

 

[Sacman]

A song that can move you emotionally...

[Hap2]

Byakkoya-no-Musume

Snuff by Slipknot

Broken by Seether with Amy Lee

Those are a few of my favourites and some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

Ah same here.
But now to my wonderful question, because of pure curiosity!

Was your previous comment an insult to my music pallet of metal and blues?

Oh god takes me back.

 

[Grayjack]

I'm such a nerd.

 

[Dragonforce525]

If I've done this right, Novelist by Melodius

 

[Ekonk]

Beat that, motherfuckers.

Second on the list is 'Lacrimosa', also part of Mozart's Requiem.

 

[Jerious1154]

This is the only piece of music that has ever come close to making me cry.
This one is beautiful as well.
