Quote:Billy Joel has compsed the soundtrack of Americaso in the over 225 years we have been a nation you think billy joel is its finest composer? un-fucking believable!

Eventhough nobody in our history could compare to the classical composers of Europe, the clear winner has to be George Gershwin
- Arpikarhu - 02-03-2003
gershwin-yes, billy joel-
- Arpikarhu - 02-03-2003
somebody else put bret easton ellis as writer! this is absurd. when you have the likes of twain,updike,london,hemingway,fitzgerald how can anyone pick a dime store novelist like ellis? ponderous!

Quote:i'm not into classical music, so billy joel is my choice of composer. sorry mr. highbrowits not being highbrow to recognize that billy joel is negligble as a composer compared to the hundreds of great composers born in this country. and who said it had to be classical music.

Billy Joel isn't fit to polish Gershwin's shoes

to read these lists you would think we formed as a union 15 years ago.
- Keyser Soze - 02-03-2003
name a non-classical composer fit to make this list.
- LyricalGomez - 02-03-2003
None of them are fit to make the list
- Arpikarhu - 02-03-2003
Quote:name a non-classical composer fit to make this list.irving berlin, gershwin,adolph green,duke ellington..........
- Keyser Soze - 02-03-2003
the only one that appeals to me on that list is ellington.
maybe some of the great jazz composers, coltrane, miles davis.
- LyricalGomez - 02-03-2003
This isn't a list about what appeals to you, this is a list of greatest people/places/things from your country.
- Keyser Soze - 02-03-2003
how could i call something great if it didn't appeal to me?
"hey i just saw the greatest movie ever made, but it really didn't appeal to me"
- LyricalGomez - 02-03-2003
You can appreciate something even if you don't like it.
I may not like a certain painter's works, but I can still appreciate it as being great art. I personally don't find Vivaldi's music appealing, but I can still appreciate him as a great composer.
