I really despise that stuff DSI. If you are going to listen to opera/classical listen to it. Not a watered down poppified version to appeal to the masses.

No. I believe Crossover is different from Opera/Classical.
I don't want to listen to Opera or classical, but I love Crossover.
Crossover is an up-tempo/modern classical music, NOT a watered down version of opera.

Anyway time for my list. I will listen to anything that is well played and not too commercial (your stuff comes under that for me DSI). I tend towards jazz, funk, blues, metal, rock, techno, punk, ska, reggae, bluegrass and latin to name but a few

Yeah, sorry. I forgot to add, that every time you watch a vid I posted, £1 goes towards beating a slave.

I used to say that I liked every genre but country. But... Johnny Cash... Lucinda Williams... Nah! Fuck it! I like every genre!

But I am very fussy within genres. Usually it is the quality of the songwriting / musicianship / performance / energy that gets to me - but in some cases it is simply that I like it and fuck anyone that doesn't!

There are only two genres in the end: Good music, which has something about it that makes listening a pleasure, and the rest.

Yes, I know, it's a cop out, but it's true too.

Andrea Bocelli is classed as a Crossover artist, not Opera. It is a very big unbrella
OK, examples......

The worlds biggest selling Soprano is a crossover artist.



Operatic Rock

Bond are a classical crossover string quartet.



There are more example if you want, but crossover has something for everyone, I do believe. Try searching for stuff on YT.

First one made me wince. Third one was too cheesy. Second one I liked quite a lot...up until the vocalist started singing. The lyrics seemed to me one long string of cliches, and didn't mach the grandeur of the music

Advocating downloading of illegal copies of stuff is bad and naughty and against the rules....

So, I'm the only person here who likes Popera/operatic rock/Classical crossover?

That actually sounds interesting, and something I might like. But can you give some examples

I like "classical" orchestration of existing rock. For example:

[charlou]

... and a rock spin applied to Classical (Pachelbel's D canon) ...

[lsdetroit]

IDM or intelligent dance music is the apex of all musical composition.........IMHO of course.




i highly recommend reference monitors or at least studio grade headphones for this album entitled drukqs. i did a buck 20 on the freeway to this song yesterday. it gets me so fecking pumped.

[The Red Fox]

Anything Avant-Garde/Experimental is bound to get my attention. Apart from that, blues, funk, rock, NWOBHM, reggae, dub and John Cale.

[Kristie]

I like just about everything, except rap, fucking hate rap.
I listen to whatevedr's on the radio. That means modern country, pop and adult contemporary. I don't care if the artist can't play an instrument, or if they didn't write the song themselves. I just want a good stet of lyrics and a nice voice to listen to.

[Bert62]

This is a difficult task to choose only one. I pose the question to myself as if I were allowed to take only one kind of music with me (to the fictitious deserted isle) what would it be? I know that if I had to edit and cull everything out; the thing I would want to listen to would be Classical. At first I thought it would be Bach (meaning, J.S) , but then I am so deeply into Beethoven, right now. In any event, it would be Classical. Verbose enough?

[Bella Fortuna]

Not PDQ Bach? Shame.
