Back then, they were so good at music they didn't need words to make you feel sad.

@Wonocva15 and nowadays they are even better! Listening to the majority of mainstream sond really makes me wanna cry... though in a different way

@xrayman149 yeah! i love his songs... have you heard alicia key's as i am... she played chopin's nocturne in c sharp minor as an intro... ^_^

Evgeny Kissin needs to get rid of that stupid haircut. Besides that he's pretty good.

@hikarufuego I love how modern composers of pop and other types of music borrow from the great classical music. It's fine with me. Listen to the first part of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 and then hear Eric Carmen's I'll Never Fall in Love Again. Eric in my opinion has the right to borrow from the great Rachmaninoff. Eric was a musical prodigy from an early age and can play classical...he earned the right.

@AFcunningham Amen, brother. This movement from Rachmaninoff and part 2 of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor can make me weep. Such sublime music that one would think angels composed them.

[AFcunningham]

opening piano theme is the most perfect piece of music ive ever heard.

[schmuckenheimer9]

Anybody else think the romantic era was without a doubt the greatest era of music?

@hostclub17 When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

Livin' alone

I think of all the friends I've known

When I dial the telephone

Nobody's home
