Quote:Billy Joel has compsed the soundtrack of America
so in the over 225 years we have been a nation you think billy joel is its finest composer? un-fucking believable!
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

Eventhough nobody in our history could compare to the classical composers of Europe, the clear winner has to be George Gershwin

Quote:i'm not into classical music, so billy joel is my choice of composer. sorry mr. highbrow
its not being highbrow to recognize that billy joel is negligble as a composer compared to the hundreds of great composers born in this country. and who said it had to be classical music.

This isn't a list about what appeals to you, this is a list of greatest people/places/things from your country.

You can appreciate something even if you don't like it.
I may not like a certain painter's works, but I can still appreciate it as being great art. I personally don't find Vivaldi's music appealing, but I can still appreciate him as a great composer.
