I prefer beethoven (if remixes count)

Well I like some from Chopin, some from Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Mozart etc.

I prefer the romantic era though.

And what do you mean by remixes?

banya made a great remix of pathetique for example

On youtube there are also a lot of remixes of Fur Elise, but I haven't found many good ones yet
right now the best one is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8pI52OtjRs&feature=related

the fifth symphony sounds better unremixed though

Rap doesn't fit in the definition of music. (This isn't in any way humiliating rap)

Music: Music is an art form whose medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".[1]

Rap is more like a verbal thing.

I think that music is all about getting used to something. I used to hate taking piano lessons and listened to pop music (well I wasn't a "listener" of a genre really). Then about 4 years ago I heard Fantaisie Impromptu playing on our new phone. My mind was blown away! I knew I had to play it. Then I realized how amazing this music was. Since then I listen to classical. I also listen to some oldies, jazz etc.

I agree with In flames, Roadrunner United and Opeth being awesome.

I tried hard not to say that :D
 
I don't get some of the people that listen to Metal who say "Metal music has the hardest riffs (or whatever they are) and it's impossible to play" (Don't get offended F.P. I'm not referring to you)

You know what, a pianist can spend a year studying one of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto's.

Or you can look up Horowitz's and Richter's technique. My piano teacher warns me every 10 seconds for the smallest musical mistake while playing the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. It's not a technically challenging piece but it's annoying as hell if you want to play it beautifully. You can listen to Rubenstein and some other guy playing this and maybe not be able to tell why Rubenstein is so much better at it while they are still playing the same correct notes. It's because Rubenstein went over the piece so many times and mastered it's spirit and technique. I don't see that kind of a challenge in any other music. Let alone metal.

DAMN! Where did that come from?

I think this sounds better than the orchestra version, but I like both metal and some clasical like Vivaldi, Metal and clasical have many things in common

Such as? I can't stand the high volume screaming and guitar playing in metal music.

If I was to compare metal to classical, it's like when you are fighting with someone, the metal way would be to destroy your enemy with punches and kicks, leaving him in blood. The classical way would be an aikido-like style, you don't see any blood and it's more pleasing to the eye (or ear in this case). You don't use your strength, you use your technique and musicality. If your technique is right, you will defeat the enemy easily, without even getting tired or letting him attack you.

And here, metal music listeners would be the crowd that enjoy the brutal fighting. (That's the impression I'm getting)

I'm a classically trained violin professional and I appreciate metal a lot. After reading your post, it seems like you think that metal does not have technique or musicality. That is absolutely a mistake. There are times I play violin more than I sleep but no matter how much I play, there are feelings and emotions I cannot find. Not because I'm not good enough, but because classical music doesn't present them very often.

Metal to me isn't the stereotypical "uncivilized violence" you mentioned earlier. It gives me a complete picture of the spectrum and offers unbounded emotion and raw passion, which to me is a rare thing in classical music. Sure, you can enjoy the graceful and pleasing classical music but life isn't always graceful and pleasing. There is something missing from that and I think metal captures it perfectly.

I talked way too much. Here are two of my favorite bands.

I used to not like metal much because it was "noisy" but after listening to stuff like this things changed :P
