Composers as in Re Incarnated people who live on the planet now…
I met Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Mozart and Vivaldi. I really want to meet up with Bach.
By the way at least one of the above composers is a member on this forum. What I wonna do I get them all together and have a composer bash.

Try the Brandenburg Concertos. They are light classical and very tuneful. Bach is really quite focused ...it has a very disciplined sound. I think you would like it. Try the Allegro in the Brandenburg Concerto number 5. The harpsichord solo is almost psychedelic. If LSD had been around Bach would have been an acid freak.

I prefer Jagger.
I hear a preacher on the corner Ranting like a crazy man He says there's trouble, troubles are coming I can read it like the back of my hand
I see love, I see misery Jamming side by side on the stage In the wind some mournful melody I can read it like the back of my hand
The back of my hand..... Oh yeah
Oh yeah....
I see dreams, I see visions Images I don't understand I see Goya's paranoias I can read it like the back of my hand
Well, read it like the back of my hand Oh yeah, wow yeah Wow yeah Read it like the back of my hand

OR
Joy Oh joy love you bring Oh joy make my heart sing
And I drove across the desert I was in my four wheel drive I was looking for the Buddha And I saw Jesus Christ
He smiled and shrugged his shoulder And lit a cigarette Said jump for joy Make some noise Remember what I said
My soul is a like a ruby And I threw it in the earth But now my hands are bleeding From scrabbling in the dirt And I look up to the heavens And a light is on my face I never never never Thought I'd find a state of grace
Hey joy Love you bring Oh joy Make my heart sing Oh joy Joy in everything
Joy joy joy oh joy Joy joy joy oh joy
I was drowning in the darkness As I drove down to the sea
Joy joy joy oh joy
And I looked up to the mountain And the light burst over me Joy joy joy oh oh joy
You make me sing Joy [cont]
Oh joy The love you bring You make me sing Oh joy In everything In everything Everything
Jump for joy Jump for joy Jump for joy

or
Goddess In The Doorway Demons in the bedroom Dogs are on the roof I am in the basement Looking for the truth
Tired of being patient For the voice to come If you want the answer There is only one - only one
Her flesh is smooth and supple And velvet as the night Her eyes are shot with diamonds A mouth full of delight
There's a goddess in the doorway Asking how much can I take And it looks like she's heading my way There's a goddess in the doorway
Demons in the bedroom Dogs are on the loose Driving in the backstreets Looking for the truth
I'm searching for your temple Hunting for your shrine I'm looking for a vision By a neon sign
There's a goddess in the doorway Asking how much can I take And it looks like she's heading my way There's a goddess in the doorway
And her tears flow like a fountain Like a river from the mountain
How much How much can I take How much, how much can I take
Goodess in the doorway [cont]
There's a goddess in the doorway Asking how much can I take And it looks like she's heading my way There's a goddess in the doorway

(lake) just take a pebble and cast it to the sea, then watch the ripples that unfold into me, my face spill so gently into your eyes, disturbing the waters of our lives.
shread of our memories are lying on your grass; wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past. photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields letters of your mem'ries are not real.
sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat in pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope. the daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died. disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives, lives, lives... of our lives.
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering Where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door And kept my mind from wandering Where it will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right Where I belong I'm right Where I belong. See the people standing there who disagree and never win And wonder why they don't get in my door I'm painting my room in the colourful way And when my mind is wandering There I will go And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right Where I belong I'm right Where I belong. Silly people run around they worry me And never ask me why they don't get past my door I'm taking the time for a number of things That weren't important yesterday And I still go I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering Where it will go

(mussorgsky, lake) come forth, from love's spire born in life's fire, born in life's fire. come forth, from love's spire in the burning, all are [of our] yearning, for life to be. and in pain there will [must] be gain, new life!
stirring in, salty streams and dark hidden seams where the fossil sun gleams.
they were, sent from [to] the gates ride the tides of fate ride the tides of fate. they were, sent from [to] the gates, in the burning all are [of our] yearning, for life to be.

So, would you limit yourself this way in other aspects of your life? There are whole worlds of great music beyond the rock/folk spectrum.

And you are the reverse. Music from all points on the spectrum has enjoyable qualities. I like pop, rock, folk, techno, classical, and world music. I do have a special fondness for Pink Floyd and Bach.

Where did you get that idea? I have listened to much classical and decided I really don't care for it. I like Yes and E.L.P. because they took some favorite Classical music and fused it with rock, and IMO greatly improved on it. Almost all the members of Yes were classically trained musicians and E.L.P. made Pictures at an Exibition come alive.

fireworks_god: Yngwie Malmsteen is fast but low on content...sorry. I'll take Steve Vai anyday. It should be noted that Steve Howe of Yes is every bit the guitarist that Vai is. Come on...ever heard Mood for a Day. It is one of my favorite peices to play. I also enjoy Mike Hedges.

I prefer myself on drums now that I have real drums set up and just waiting to be wailed upon. Sure beats beating upon the steering wheel although I can get quite a few sounds out of the steering wheel. Sounds do not include blowing the horn although an occasional accidental horn blowing has occurred...

Certainly, Steve Vai is quite the accomplished musician, probably the one that I look up to the most. I was simply referring to Yngwie Malmsteen in the context of classical works. I'm not sure on the Steve Vai to Steve Howe comparison, as I haven't heard much of Steve Howe's works, but I would be truly surprised if he was equal in degree to Steve Vai (I am aware of Steve Howe's reputation as a virtuoso as well ).
 Peace.

Steve Howe has more range of styles, his music is more mature, and he has equal the technique. Vai does have a bit more speed. Any listen to Close to the Edge or Fragile by Yes will make his ability apparent.

Of course they're inseperable to a point, but give me emotional depth and communication over technique any day...imperfection is beautiful.

Absolutely. Jazz and improvisation is all about "imperfection".
I make sounds. I feel sounds. I am beautiful. Who or what music is "perfect" anyway?
Even Britney Spears isn't perfect although if you asked her you might get a different opinion. It's safe to say her thighs are getting a little thick...

"give me emotional depth and communication over technique any day" Why have one over the other. Without both a musician sucks.
"Jazz and improvisation is all about "imperfection". Musicians in jazz are some of the most technically gifted in the industry...don't fool yourself with that imperfection line. Improvisation requires a high degree of musicality and skill....it is not imperfection, but music in it's most perfect form.

Jazz is both technically based and abstract and a matter of performing both. Based on the duality it can be considered a nearly "perfect" music. That is why I used the term "imperfection" in quotes.
Perfection is more limited to the blues done with conviction.

Didn't I say that they are to a point inseperable? It's rare that a musician has both in equal measure. Almost always one comes more naturally than the other.

While I don't listen to them much anymore (I definately over did it) I still think they are amazing.

All right, I've given Yes' Fragile a listen. All right stuff, and Steve Howe seems like a great guitarist, but nothing reached out, grabbed me by the throat, and screamed "This guy is in the same league as Steve Vai!!!". 
Check out this song off of Vai's latest album. Steve Vai - Building The Church This is a link to my myspace page (don't laught at it ). I'm using it because the song will have unlimited listens available. It works pretty well to showcase how fucking amazing Vai is, not just as a guitarist, but as a songwriter.

 Peace.

I can't help you much, but I am a great, great, ..., great grandson of Bach. (I think there are five greats in there, but would have to look at the family tree to know for certain.)

Nope, but I think I saw him a few (well, more than that now) years ago in concert, opening for Anthrax.
