I'm a type of person who usually daydream a lot and listens to music during my spare time.I usually listen to pop music, since I'm a 90's kid, but despite of the era gap I appreciate classical music more, I find them more relaxing and complex. Sadly, this type of music are becoming less popular these days,All I here on the radios are Screamos, Dubsteps and Lady Gaga's Judas (Hey, no offense to rock,dubsteps and little monster fans out there! :)) What do you think of classical music fellow MyLotters? :)

You are right about the trend of music on radio nowadays... I do listen to music on radio also but rarely i hear a classical music. I's love classical music too, it makes me relax and be calm down.. Hey, you can buy a DVD of classical music if you want to listen to it every day, it is what i do now because if listen to music on the radio, we have no option to choose a song/music type that we prefer...

"the ugly trending musics nowadays"... i don't agree with you about it because everyone has the different taste of musics. You and I love classical music but teenage or kids love lady gaga, for instance...then they love to listen to the radio. If there are much classical musics on the radio, they may say it is the ugly trending musics also...

I like listening to classical and opera music as well, and I was born in early 90's. I really don't like the current trend in music these days, although I appreciate rock and metal music too, but not those one-liner lyrics (if you know what I mean). I actually have a wild mix of taste in music, but when I just want to relax or to stimulate my mind I would listen to Classical and Operas. I even heard that listening to them makes one productive, I think I agree to that because when I do listen to them, I would sometimes think of new ideas on what to paint or do next. I really love listening to classical music although I don't really know much about their histories, unlike my friend. ^^

Yep, I am or so I think. LOL! XD Yeah, I like the 90's music a lot better than the music nowadays. And I'd rather have instrumental/classical music than listen to songs which have lyrics that doesn't really make sense. Oh, I'm into rock music too. ^^ Have you ever heard of 2Cellos? They have great music really, I really love listening on how they render music. :D

I too love classical music and most of my music collections are classical. I do find them more entertaining and very relaxing indeed. Though I do have some pop and rock songs of the 80's but just a few of them. Well, there are some stations in our local radios that play classical music and my radio is basically tuned it to the station always.

I used to listen to classical music when I was a student but nowadays, I find Elvis music more relaxing. His voice is soothing to my soul

Hello IAmNena. I enjoy the classical music. While I enjoy nearly all types of music, the classical music will help me to relax. Sometimes I listen to it when I'm driving, and other times it's soothing to play when I'm reading or relaxing in the house.

In these days of hectic activity, speed rules and governs most activities. So is the field of music gaining prominence for fast numbers than classical masterpieces. All the sound and rage associated with modern music is the craze of the modern youth. They rarely go in for melodies of the past which are rendered in fine embellishments to the accompaniment of traditional orchestra.

I donĀ“t listen to music on the radio because not always they play what I like. I have moods, as music goes. So I have lots of CDs, casettes, even vynils with classical music and with other music I also like. I love Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach to name a few. But other times I listen to rock (from the time I was young) or to folk music.

I absolutely love classical music! Nobody beats Schubert or Chopin. And you know what? I find it good that classical music isn't that popular; now you can go to any supermarket and find that the classical CD's are some of the cheapest! They're almost always in bargain bins. I would probably not have had many classical music CD's if this wasn't the case.
