Okay so i am a self admitted Mozart nerd...not going to apologize for it either. I also love Requiems. Mozarts is my favorite but Requiems of Brahms, Verdis and Berlioz are also brilliant. they just can't touch Mozarts. Any other nerds here that love classical esp Requiems?
Why would you need to apologize for the music that you enjoy? I don't mind classical music, I just don't listen to it that much. Sibelius' Finlandia always gets me even if I don't see myself as especially patriotic. I do like some Philip Glass, especially the Solo Piano stuff. I guess I am more inclined to more contemporary classic music and those that fuse electronic elements to classical compositions. Max Richter's re-composition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons was a nice one that came out a few years ago.

there is going to be a books requiem soon if you dont start showing me some respect!!!
i actually have the war requiem downloaded i just havent had time to listen. faures is great i agree. berlioz has become a personal fav of mine now also. im also pretty impressed with the modern requiem by preisner.
Although they are a bit dated I have always likes the Tragically Hip. Maybe it's a Canadian thing but I know the Mule doesn't like them. I don't care I think Gordon was always a decent song writer even though he has trailed off a bit the last 8 years or so.</p>
as a side note, 1st concert I every went too was Jefferson Starship, right after Grace Slick re-joined the band at Popular Theater, and I remember this song rocked hard.</p>
