As long as they don't change their music, I don't really see why I would stop liking them.

I like DCFC because they are my writing music. Then they did Meet Me At The Equinox... Anyway, their music isn't going to change any time soon.
It's always weird when your bands become mainstream! haha.

What type of music do they play?
I've never been able to write with set-to-lyrics music because then I start typing the lyrics accidentally.
Usually I actually listen to an eclectic array of music (most of the composers are dead and were never in bands), so the question was a moot point for me anyway. xD

Hard to explain, so I'll just link a (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYF8cUlbs3I) couple (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ZUV9IBEXY) of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I483tB12SyE) songs. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjIErrcr75A) Their music has this odd hollow quality to it, so I don't accidentally type their lyrics. haha.

ohh which composers? Have you heard Liszt?

It does sound very different--and kind of soothing at a low volume. :D

Yes, I have--I play piano, and took history lessons (they were, surprisingly, lots of fun). Liszt--all his pieces require massive hands and amazing technical skill--but they're all so beautiful. I remember hearing that he'd done a transcription of the Erlkonig (Schubert, and absolutely haunting - here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XP5RP6OEJI)'s my favorite version [and spectacular pianist/singer, too--watch his expressions change between characters]) that supposedly made it easier to play. Schubert had written it with triplet octaves in 4/4 time, so twelve in a bar, and it's very difficult to play. I tracked down Liszt's transcription and discovered that I need about seven fingers on each hand and possibly another hand, actually, to play it.

*starting to ramble* I have my favorite composers organized in time periods, thanks to music history, although I still like Chopin best (bias: he wrote almost exclusively for piano). So, so beautiful. If you haven't heard of his stuff: here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZGi49Bnghs), here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laSh3D_77ZM), and here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa0Z6g1XJkU). Also, West Side Story. And Handel's Messiah, especially the overture and the rejoice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1xlYIoekE8) section. Plus cartoons like the Animaniacs, and the Gregorian chants (particularly the Kyrie, aaah). As for the really popular songs now, it's usually because of nostalgia (like Taylor Swift).

*breathes* What about you?

Familiar with those Chopin pieces. Oh, just had a lovely blast of nostalgia. :D

I'm going through a Bach phase right now. I love Little Fugue, like I said. I wrote a story to it. Then there's this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZn_VBgkPNY) (I think the cello is an amazing instrument with such depth). And he probably wrote this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhXHMzSOK5c) when he was happy. :)

Yay another classical music enthusiast!

I still can't get over the "Eee! So many timbres, and new sounds!" phase. It's so amazing, and I think it would be so neat to play a concerto or be part of a quintet or something.
I remember this! Sometimes he's happy, sometimes solemn--I'm still astonished that people can compose polyphonic music. To me, it seems so difficult--needing to give each voice its own line, and still make it work together.

Oh I've wanted to play a violin forever. Or some instrument. I tried piano, saxophone, all the rest of it. No sound of mine resembles music, even vaguely. :(

That would explain it. :)

The only one I didn't study (or, actually, listen to) was Wagner. Which means, I should probably listen to some...any suggestions? Fugues! Although is there just one in D minor? Bach's written so many piece of church music; it explained a lot when I found out he'd been required to write a piece a week.

:D

Ohhh! Er, people don't like to admit they like Wagner because Hitler loved his music and used it as perennial German achievement. So Yeah. :( But his music is amazing, he's like a later Tchaikovsky. There's Ride of the Valkyries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V92OBNsQgxU), of course. Tristan and Isolde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UQrOIa7coc), Funeral March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a53s4jyCqqU) and Flying Dutchman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJtrXqRu9K8) (gets me every time). :D Enjoy!

*cringe* I see why now. But as soon as you hear the music, you can tell so easily it's Romantic--so much force, sometimes broody, with nothing like the Classical structure. I love the massive contrast. (And also how one of the commenters said it was the precursor to heavy metal xD)
