Classical Music Still Rocks

When people look and think of classical music, they think of the nerdy, awkward children, that play in band and orchestra. However, the negative connotations of classical music are often unfounded as many of the people who are the first to rip on classical music often, when asked, "have you ever actually listened to classical music and if so, could you name a song from this genre that you listened to?" answer stupidly, "well no, but it still sucks." And so for all the people who need their horizons expanded, here is some Classical music that is undeniably good.

My Top 3 --- in no particular order.

This is Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

This is a song that is modern and includes a balance of many different instruments, however all of them are in fact, Classical.
