Classical ( for anti-stress, creativity boosting and cleaning mode)
1.
Canon-Pachabel-who doesn't?
2. Bach-Toccata
and Fugue, Air on G-String
3. Beethoven-
Ode to Joy, Fur Elise, Midnight and Pathetique Sonatas
4. Mozart-
Clarinet Concerto K622, Serenade for 12 woodwinds, Eine Kleine Naugtmusik
5. Handel-Largo,
Watermusic
Movie Soundtracks (when you
just want to sit back and enjoy)
These deserve a category of
their own. It is modern classical music and I really don't like a
movie if the soundtrack sucks, (prime example-Titanic-not bad story, awesome
special effects-BAD soundtrack), but I digress...
1. Robin
Hood, Prince of Thieves-When Bonnie and I heard the
overture, we were aghast!
2. Star
Wars- without John Williams' genius, I probably
wouldn't like it as much.
3. The Last
of the Mohicans- even the soundtrack couldn't save
this film, but it's good on it's own
4. The Lion
King
5. Brassed
Off!
Beatles
They deserve their own category
in my humble opinion. I could list many more than five, but that
would be long and boring.
1.
Let It Be
2. When
I'm 64
3. In My
Life
4. Something
5. She Loves
You
For lack of a better word,
"Pop/Rock" Music ( When you just gotta rock on)
1.
U2
2.
Our Lady Peace
3.
Lenny Kravitz
4.
Fastball
5. Creed
The "Uncategorizables"-Like me, for anytime at all.
Canadian Brass-move
from Bach to Gershwin to Beatles and back again. Tell me how to categorize
that!!
Great Big Sea
Barenaked Ladies
Glenn Miller-
jazz or big band? the debate continues
Kurt Weil
Vanessa Mae
Nigel Kennedy
