The only thing I didn't necessarily agree with was Kavanaugh's calling classical "the greatest music ever written." That statement alone made it a little more difficult to take his words in all seriousness, because nobody can declaratively state that any genre of music is the "greatest." Even if he had meant that as an opinion, he should have made that more clear.<BR/><BR/>It is also worth stating that there are a number of modern artists whose music shows a strong leaning towards classical music. Bands such as Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Extol not only hint at classical music in their own, but implement it as a necessary part of their own sound, yet they remain in the "popular music" side of the spectrum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
