For some very odd reason i have never like the rap and OMFG LOUD NOISED AND PEOPLE SCREEMING[A.K.A Punk/Heavy Metal] and have allways liked the ol' classics like the 1812 Overture and Mozarts stuff. So i was hoping some of you music nuts could recommend me some good classical stuff.

Loud noises and people screaming is fun though. Especially when it's Children of Bodom.

<3 Children of Bodom.
I had a blog. It sucked.

The Star Wars soundtracks, and a lot of video game music (Hitman 2, for one).

Symphony X is a metal band that use huge amounts of classical music type orchestra symphony effects. Try 'Lacrymosa/The Death Of Balance' or 'The Odyssey' (the songs).

Bedrich Smetana - Die Moldau

Jean Sibelius - Finlandia is pretty neat too.

Overture 1928 is my ringtone. :D

That song is freaking amazing.

Nay, that whole album is amazing.

Yeah, except for Beyond This Life. With the keyboard trumpet solo.

Vivaldi and Bach are two of my favorite. John Williams the classical guitar player is always delightful to listen to. He is frickin awesome. Check him out playing Bach's Gavotte en Rondeau. Awesome :psyduck:

Are you asking for real classical stuff? In that case, I'd recommend:

Symphony #9 ("From the New World") by Antonin Dvorak
"Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" and Piano Concerto #2 by Sergei Rachmaninov
Pictures at an Exhibition, by Modest Mussorgsky (orchestrated by M. Ravel)
Scheherezade, by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

It depends on what kind of stuff exactly you like to listen to; these are all really great works for symphony orchestra. If you want more chamber music or solo-oriented stuff, I could try to think of some of that, too.

Ah, another good option would be the any of Requiems by Verdi, Mozart, or Brahms.
