Lynn of A Sweet Familiar Dissonance tagged me with this one, and I'm WAY out of my league.

I'll do my best, though:

Favorites or just the first that comes to mind:

Symphony - Beethoven's 9th - nothing like a little Ludwig Van...
************

Piano concerto -

Violin concerto -

Concerto for any wind instrument (flute, clarinet, oboe, horn, etc) -

Concerto for two or more soloists -

Overture or other short classical work (less than 12 minutes long) -

Piano sonata -

Other unaccompanied -

Sonata with accompaniment or other music for only two instruments -

Trio -

String quartet -

Other quartet -

Quintet -

Other chamber music -

Latin choral work (mass, requiem, Stabat Mater, etc.) -

Choral work in a language other than Latin -

Classical work composed after 1950 (other than movie music; I'll get to that) -

Classical work composed before 1650 -

***********
Here's the deal... I went through a classical music phase in my early 30's when I lived 3 blocks from a public library, and sampled a fair variety of stuff. Truth is, Beethoven & Mozart were about the only things I found of interest, although I liked Handel's Water Music and Vivaldi's Four Seasons well enough. Bach... what I heard seemed a bit simplistic and didn't really keep my attention.

I understand the attraction of classical music, but I simply don't have a way of finding what I like, since Pandora doesn't seem to carry it.
***********

Opera - The Who: "Quadrophenia"

Movie Score - Batman (Danny Elfman is a freakin' genius).

TV theme - Firefly

Song (rock, blues, country or other) - Rush: "Red Barchetta" (try driving slow to THAT one)

Guitar or lute, classical - Mason Williams: "Classical Gas"

Guitar (rock, blues, country or other) - Joe Satriani: "Friends"

Goofy novelty song - Bob Ricci: "She Freakin' Blocked Me" - love the video, too.

Bonus: anything you'd like to add that wasn't on the list - Pretty much anything by Weird Al.

Unless I've got any readers who are closet classical music fans?

Blogson Blue Tige must die for this.

Or maybe I just won't let him borrow the car for a while. Whichever.

2) Two least favorite colors.
Red 255
Yellow 255
They make my eyes bleed whenever I see them on someone's site

3) Favorite fast food restaurant.
McDonald's - because I can go to any country on the planet and get the same burger I can get down the street.

4) Favorite day of the week.
Tuesday - House is on.

5) Least favorite day of the week.
Thursday - Survivor is on.

6) Best thing about your significant other.
Large or small, I can trust her to keep promises.

7) Least favorite thing about your significant other.
Those freakishly cold feet which she insists on warming by pressing against me.

Your significant other's favorite thing about you (without asking them).
I can always make her laugh, even when she's in a bad mood.

9) Your significant other's least favorite thing about you (again, without asking them).
That I swear like a sailor.

10) Black or white?
Black - white's too hard to keep clean.

11) Red or blue?
Blue - see question 1

12) Day or night?
Day - I like to be able to see what I'm doing when I'm outside.

13) Favorite part of your body.
Beard - It's been my best friend for 15 years, and the cats love to rub against it.

14) Least favorite part about your body.
My scalp. It's a war of attrition, and the Rogaine is losing.

15) Do you like walking in the rain at times?
Yes, but it's rarely hot enough in Wisconsin for the rain to feel good. Usually it just makes me cold & wet.

16) Do you have a tattoo?
Nope. Mostly because I've never been both very drunk and near a tattoo parlor at the same time.

17) “Short and sweet” or “long and hard”.
Short and sweet - unlike this meme

1 Favorite kind of car.
Corvette - '68 to '82, any color.

19) Favorite kind of ice cream.
Haagen Dazs Chocolate chocolate chip.

20) Trix or Lucky Charms.
Trix - Lucky Charms is abominable as a snack straight out of the box.

Next victims:

ArmyWifeToddlerMom, who is celebrating her blogiversary today and recently complained that I don't link her enough.

Blogless Brother of NoWhere News - who needs to get his meme-cherry broken.

Alex in Wonderland - to celebrate the fact that he FINALLY added some color to his blog.
