Music lovers and cultured people in general should listen in their lifetime at least once:

1) Beethovens 9th

2) This.

[iansquared3]

it takes quite a skilled and diverse orchestra to play zappa.

It's so tragic that he was dying of prostate cancer when this was performed and couldn't conduct the entire performance. A true musical genius!

@Hyardacil

I agree, and would like to add to your list:

Shostakovich's 7th ;-)

[hamburg205]

Even today ahead of his time.

Why talk about Metallica or metal on a Zappa compostion. Metallica or anybody else can't

compete with Zappa's genius.

It's you that's the idiot indeed, and you're trying to hide it by saying I'm stupid because of my name - and only imbeciles resort to fallacies like that. An idiot because you failed to make any logical or relevant point. What you're saying (almost) never applies to the real world. No good musician not to mention a musician in an orchestra would excel in (classical) music of type A and be unfamiliar to type B. Think before you post, or don't if you can't.

[panamaredone]

@OpethToolMetallica So you are saying that if a group has played the same Metallica song over 100 times and you present that same group of musicians a song by the Mars Volta that they are not familiar with, they will be able to pull it off the same way they did with the Metallica song that they probably know by heart? And with the same ease? That is all I was saying... Wasting time on a Metallica fan, stupid me.

@panamaredone

That's a rather unconvincing response, the instrumentation is quite similar to other 20nd century classical music. Even if it were different, that itself still wouldn't mean it would be difficult to play.

[panamaredone]

@OpethToolMetallica Well, this piece isn't well known, rendering it unusual and difficult for your average orchestra member. It is easier to play what you have played many times.
