OT - Bach

>> >sorry but I think Bach SUCKS >> >, I don't like music with predictable tonalities and ...... I used to think Bach's music was a predictable 16th notes. My best friend loved Bach, and gave me records of his music which I considered crap not worthy of listening to - until I studied music theory and had to write some exercises in that style. Then I became aware of the subtlety and beauty of it. Its beautiful how he subtley changes the key and these keys wander all over the place but while sounding coherent. Now I never get tired of listening to Bach, but I do tired of Mozart and Beethoven. Personally, I don't believe its polite to use the phrase "<composer or style of music> SUCKS". But then the pro-SUCK people will complain. And I am proud to say I am now on the OT list too! So if we take all these spurious discussions to the OT - what will be able to talk about on the regular list - bugs and release dates?
