Two huge areas of music. Overall, classical, by a nose.

First of all, this is not a prog poll.

What is that supposed to mean? If you picked a classical song out of a hat, it would be worse than any jazz song you picked out of a hat more often? How can you follow that as a rule? And that is 100% subjective.


Jazz and Classical are related to prog, and Prog Related is a bonified sub-genre on this website, so the poll is fine here, get the stick outta yer ass.

And that a random jazz piece is usually better than a classical piece is my opinion, I don't mean it as something that should be understood, I was just clarifying that I think jazz is better overall. Don't be so literal, aight?
bit rude dont you think ? Shocked


No

Jazz and Classical are related to prog. They are not prog. It does not belong here.

By the way, anyone interested in Jazzical (Jazz-Classical fusion) music should try Free Flight.

i don't like many basic jazz or classical

but i chose classical, because (wait a minute, i change the computer...)

Being ultimately a classical pianist myself, i would have to say classical since i know much more about it. However, i do love to improvise the blues, and that is much closer to jazz than classical i find. Both are two brilliant styles :-)

I tend to see the two in stark terms... though not in absolute terms of course...


Classical to me is about form, structure, beauty.... society.. where the sum. is far greater than any of the parts..

Jazz is about passion, personal expression, the individual... where the parts... are far greater than the sum..

as such... could never chose... love both with a passion... though by no means an expert in either.

I play double bass, euphonium and the electric bass. I love melodic and energy-charged progressive rock. Music like that of Rush, Yes and Genesis. I know exactly what you're talking about when you say snobbish classical musicians. I'm only 15, so I wouldn't call myself a professional musician in any respect, but the majority of the music I'm playing now is classical. I have a music theory teacher that seems to fit that "snobbish" stereotype. I'm a rock musician as well, keep in mind- I still sit and learn off of Rush records while I have Hoedown by Copland on my music stand.

I guess I wouldn't be the best example for a classical musician's opinion- I started playing as a jazz trumpeter and have moved to a rock and classical bassist and my acoustic guitar style almost resembles Indian classical ragas in a way. I think music has something so say if one is willing to listen, so I try not to classify the music I listen to or judge it based on whether it's a simple Donovan tune or the Rite of Spring.

Not all classical musicians hate prog. The violinist Viktoria Mullova (one of the world's greatest) enjoys King Crimson. I once heard the cellist Stephen Isserlis perform an exuberant version of "Got to get you into my life" (with the pianist Melvyn Tan) - that was a bit of prog in itself!

I used to love classical, but now i really like jazz. It has that freedom, that grabs you from the start to finish. So, i voted for jazz
