How musically conservative/liberal are you?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Honestly, save Coldplay, I don't really like any music made after 2002 or so.

Same, except for the Stones 2005 album, and the occasional pop song that gets stuck in my head for a few days.

Does Moses listen to anything Felix wrote, I wonder.

ultra-liberal

     For what it's worth, I interpret "ultra-liberal" to mean genuine avant-gardism. After all, breaking the conventions of one genre is one thing. Breaking the conventions of all genres & doing so in a deliberate fashion is something else.

probably conservative, all things considered. I pretty much only listen to music from 1963-present (mostly involving guitars) from pretty much only majority-white countries.

objective comparisons!!!!

Pretty liberal actually. I like a variety of hard rock and indie stuff and much modern classical music. The pits is most of Mozart (a couple of his operas are tolerable and the 40th symphony is barely tolerable) and Haydn and "musac aka elevator music," and "whiney" Country and Western.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I probably would be considered very conservative when it comes to music. I'll listen to a good amount of rap, hip hop, pop, and country. I also like some rock groups like the Dave Matthews and Maroon Five's of the world. Not much into indie rock, punk or emo or anything of that sort.

[Scam of God]

Probably centrist. I listen strictly to "heavy" music, but that can be as diverse as :wumpscut: or Angelwitch or Richard Wagner.

[Earth]

I seem to be very eclectic in my tastes. I listen to everything from modern electronic, to pre war jazz and blues, all varieties of classical, a shitload of experimental, folk, country, rap, metal, ethnic, etc. Whatever, so long as it hits me. I guess I'm 'ultra liberal'.

Is Felix defined as a "moderate hero"?  Mendelssohn is overrated crap, honestly, IMHO.

Yea, Haydn is really intolerable, isn't he?  Scary thing is that all of the music written around his time is a whole lot worse.  Of course, neither is as bad as most music from about 1630-1680.

With Mozart - a lot of the stuff he wrote was crap.  Especially anything written before he discovered Bach.  That being said, the operas were the best things that he wrote, so I can't fully agree with you, because I do find them listenable and watchable.  Especially Don Giovanni, which is quite good.

Wagner can be described as a lot of things, but centrist is not one of them...

You should have seen/heard some of the stuff broadcast here on him this summer - basically implied that if you don't like him, you are a Nazi (an interesting variation on the 'Hitler ate salt' fallacy, I thought). I'm not a fan, but I do have a soft spot for the magnificently insane monster that is Elijah.

There are a couple of ok numbers in there, but Handel was just so better at that type of thing IMHO (Handel = good pop music of the 18th century).

I like the fallacy - guess I fit in because I hate Mendelssohn and like Wagner (and R. Strauss too).

My sentiments exactly.  Mendelssohn was considered the greatest genius of music of his age while alive, and it has all been downhill for him since. He has little depth and is not robust in the sense that one listen of his music is enough. A composer who is very robust is Hindemith. Have you ever listened to Nobilissima Visone?  R. Strauss is on the top ten list for me.
