Ok. Create a few million threads for each individual period of music, and see how fast they sail off of the first page.

This would be more appropriate for an entire FORUM dedicated to classical music, but this is not...this is an off-shoot of MXTABS.NET. So, get off of your high horse, stop being pretentious, and talk about whichever artist from that whole 2 millennia that you feel about talking to. Or, HELL...if it really makes you happy, then you can go ahead and ONLY talk about composers from the "classical" era (maybe you could get away with neo-classical as well). Frankly, I don't care.
