So what's your favorite band or artist? And what's your favorite song by that band?

Mine is probably Smashing Pumpkins...as for my favorite songs, I have many: 1979, Cherub Rock, Obscured, Rhinoceros, Starla, I Am One, Perfect, Untitled, Today, Stand Inside Your Love, and Everlasting gaze...they are a really good band...

So what's yours?

I also like a lot of hard rock and alternative music. I'll edit this post to include more later.

~~Top 10 Of Classical Music?! Yeah, right. That's the top 10 of well known classical music. Where's Respighi and Fountains of Rome, I ask you!~~

Wow, my observation skills are toast.

My favorite artist died in 1975. He was none other than... Dmitri Shostakovich. Great piano concertos, great symphonies (according to Chupperson). I recently ordered his 5th and 6th symphony from Amazon. It should come in a couple of days.

http://shosty.ytmnd.com/ -- I'm not sure if it's the best example, but I liked it.

Barely anybody on my campus knows about any classical music. So... I'm pretty much hated because I like classical music better than rock music.

Anyways, my favorite artists are Aaron Copland and Pyter Tchaikovsky. And whoever wrote the musical scores in Call of Duty 2.

Where's Respighi...?

He lived from July 9, 1879 - April 18, 1936. Notice that my favorite classical music CD is from 1788 to 1810. Respighi wasn't even born yet. That CD series does a top ten for different date ranges.

I also like some Rossini and Wagner, but Beethoven is my favorite followed by Mozart.

Weird Al and Reel Big Fish

Yeah, I don't think I have to say this since everyone already knows... That'd be "Weird Al" Yankovic. Let's see, favorite song... I don't know, I guess it'd be one of either "Slime Creatures From Outer Space," "Don't Download This Song," "Spam," or "Yoda." Picking a favorite is tough.

Picking a favorite is impossible. Here's my music collection: http://kontek.net/deezer/albums.txt (Note: Terribly incomplete. Note 2: Ignore any duplicates still listed.)
