Greatest Music of the Millenium

What about all the Simpsons soundtracks. You can’t forget all of the different musical works of Weird Al Yankovic. J/K Sorry for messing up your serious conversation.

“Hellhound on my Trail” By Robert Johnson or “Stones in my Passway” by R Johnson
'I’m So lonesome I could Cry" Hank Williams
"Over the Rainbow"by J Garland
“Carmina Burana”
Etc Etc Etc


You want brilliance BEFORE I’ve had my coffee!!!

Handel, Messiah.
Beethoven, Symphonies 5 and 9.
Dylan, Blonde on Blonde.
Harrison, All Things Must Pass.
Soundtrack: South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. :wink:

Speaking of which, anyone see Brian Boitano do that routine to “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” on NBC last Sunday? No great shakes (he didn’t put on a blindfold and do two salchows and a triple lutz, more’s the pity), but it was cool that he did it at all.

There was a thread similar to this in MPSIMS a few months ago (July?). Anyone care to do the painful search and post the link?

I admit, many of the selections I chose were pieces I’ve played or sang.

I see several selections here that I may have to add to my classical library.

Incidentally, since it was Network television, what did they do about that place in the song where Kyle and Stan sing “Brian Boytano doesn’t take shit from anybody”?


The truth, as always, is more complicated than that.

As far as I know, Gabrielli was the first to use dynamics in his Sonata a piano e forte, or literally, soft and loud sonata.}}

Yeah, that was it. Giovanni Gabrielli. I played some of his works with a brass group, and I have a recording of Sonata Pian e Forte. Very calming music.

tracer, they cut that line out of the tape.

They also bleeped out the ‘ass’ from ‘I’m sure he’d kick an ass or two’, which made the following line about ‘I want this V-Chip out of me, it has stunted my vocabulary’ quite apropos.
