John Cage's most famous musical composition is called 4'33".
It consists of the pianist going to the piano, and not hitting any keys for four minutes and thirty-three seconds (he uses a stopwatch to time this). In other words, the entire piece consists of silences -- silences of different lengths, they say...

If you play it backwards, it's devil worship.

Cage's attempt to get people to truly listen to and notice ambient sounds for 4 minutes is admirable, but to call it "music" is absurd. It obviously fails even the most elementary definition of the word.

i don't mind that people say this piece is rubbish, that's their choice. But it brings me to tears each time around the 4 minute mark. I have no high brow friends to impress- this is just my reaction.
