without classical music and the rules they set down and broke there would be no speed/thrash/or rock music or country or instruments. they said if it was brilliant, and it is without any of the rules no music.

It is brilliant, because it was the first kind of music, and it sounds, well, classic.

Classical music I feel takes more talent than most any other genre of music.

This guy talks about how everyone loves classical music whether they know it or not:

Classic music is the foundation. Without it music wouldn't be what it is today.

this was the rock of its time. i'm music major some of the great things that came out of classical music for now. like cromatics for jazz from beethoven. breaking of th church modes by the romantics chopinm shubert, shumman.
so with out this it would be no rock or country, bach the father of music wrote the rules.

Basically invented all the music rules and theory that is still used today.
Plus I'm a band geek, I've played classical music. You can't help but like some of the music you play.
