    The greatest single musical dynasty that ever was on the face of this planet.
    Not just an opinion. FACT.

    Actually, I was going to make this into a silly poll just for fun, but decided not to post it just yet, but apparently this part got through accidentally.

    Oh well.

    What is YOUR point, Mr. Xerxes?

    Well, I stated that he WAS, and you asked me what my point was!
    Just returning the favor!

    Really, this post was supposed to have a poll with several options on it. I guess once you get to the form where you create the poll, the original message is already posted. I thought I had canceled both transactions.

    Well, who do YOU think is so great, hmmm??? Are you a Kalinnikovite?
    Василий Сергеевич Калинников. Apparently?

    Smooches!

    And judging by alot of people's favorite bands listed in the music thread, most people like music that is far inferior to Bach.

    AH! Someone actually wants to talk classical!

    Chopin is pretty cool! Love his nocturnes! Specially the minor keys.

    Strauß family is better. All hail the Waltz King.

    But, in orders of individual skills, here's how I see it:

    Beethoven > Mozart > Chopin > Haydn > Taschaikovsky > StraussJr. > Bach > StraussSr.

    So I assume that by "<" you are implying that Beethoven's skills are the bottom of the pile?

    As for arranging them in order, I'm not sure I'd dare ... they all have different strengths and weaknesses.

    (Ok, and where's Gershwin? Dvorak? Copland? Bizet? Hmm?)

    Stoled my line! Oh, and how bout Heino Eller??? Vaughn Williams? Vivaldi? Clementi?

    No, you're right. It's just too difficult to pick one and say he's the best.

    Oh, and Mendelssohn?

    It's a silly internet acronym. I thought using it would ingratiate me with the locals, but none of the locals understands it
