It seems like a long, long time ago there was a thread like this. So, why not start a new one?

What's some of the most beautiful music you've heard?

Here's some stuff from me...

I have a feeling the Post Rock thread is going to leak into this thread a whole bunch.

Having said that, my two "most beautiful" songs are indeed Post Rock:

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine

MONO - Legend

(it helps that the Legend video is of really beautiful scenes from Iceland)

There's just something about it, the gliding, additive underscoring plus the jazz solo and the ethereal chorus (a combination heard earlier in the even more minimal Music in 12 Parts), it's three things that shouldn't work together but really do, at least for me. I could listen to this for ages, I just think it's really gorgeous in a way th

I really love Arabian Dance from 'The Nutcracker'. Somehow it feels so wintery.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
