I'd much rather listen to Blind Melon than classical music. Maybe it's my ADD(nonhyper ADHD) cuz I want music that has a good beat or good lyrics.


Well me too.... but the things we do for love. :roll: She does take guitar lessons though so hopefully she'll eventually come around to a wider appreciation of music. She abhors rap with passion.

Perfectly enjoyable and works well as background music, but not something I tend to sit down and actively listen to. And I think recognizing at least a few classical pieces is part of a balanced knowledge-base.

My dad (who was autistic) loved classical music.
He hung himself.
I think there's a lesson in that for us all.

Depends a lot on who the composer is and what key any piece is in. I love Mozart and Chopin, quite like the Russians too. It's not all or nothing, we all have our preferences, just as in any other kind of music genre. Chopin speaks to me very deeply on an emotional level.

I have wide tastes in music, and do like many classical tunes. I find music to work well as one of my coping methods.
