My top 5 Genres of music, and my favorite song from said era.
1)
Early Jazz~ Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" (
Part 2) Quote: "Like all the major creations of the mankind, 'Rhapsody in Blue' is the result of sexual frustration"
2)
20th Century Classical~ Debussy's "Passepied" The last of 4 songs in the "Suite Bergamasque", of which #3 is Clair de Lune, which is extremely infamous, but I prefer this one of the four, and all of Debussy's work. His "Children's Suite" is good too ('Golliwog's Cakewalk' is real fun). Played this for my School Exams, and my Piano Degree (which I played all the suite :/)
3)
Ragtime~ Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" If you have to watch any of these, it is this one. Some guy playing it on a Double Neck guitar, and it fucking rocks. Ragtime is my favorite Genre of music, but it's relative similarities in every piece under the heading "Ragtime" make it all sound the samey. This song was the first ever to sell over 1 million copies on Score. My Showtime piece, it's really fucking hard on piano as the tendants in your left arm cramp up during the third section of the song (Double Octave jumps ftl :<)
4)
Dance/Techno~ 2 Unlimited's "No Limits" OMG I LOVED THIS SONG AS A KID! Fucking awesome song ... Not into Dance/Techno music really, but this song is like, teh SHIT!
5)
Folk~ Damien Rice's "Rootless Tree" This song has epic desperation in it, as well as a beautifully sung "Fuck you" by a voice of an angel. Good song, such sadness :<
Meh, they are my favorite 5 songs, I guess... Genre's are more wider than that, but my Top 5 yo.
