Classical has Beethoven Symphony 9 Jazz has Rhapsody in Blue

OP you are really a faggot today.

What are you even trying to say - that Beethoven's 9th is THE definitive classical piece? And that Rhaspody in Blue is THE definitive jazz piece?

You're such a faggot. Please learn an instrument. This is such a listener's question.

God, could you be any further up your own ass? It's a dumb question for sure, but I think I hate you more for your condescending attitude.

Bohemian Rhapsody

rock has whatever is top 5 in RYM rn

waow

These, maybe Stairway.
It's stupid to generalize a genre to a song though, i mean you could've tried albums at the very least and it might've made a tad more sense

Truly the most beautiful rock song ever composed

I'm not saying that musicians don't understand better than the average person, I'm saying shitting on someone for asking a dumb question is a douchey and elitist thing to do.

I'm not even a jazzfag and I cringed. Rhapsody in Blue is classical.

Sister Ray

>>72004895
Stop strawmanning him, he hasn't said that they're the definitive classical/jazz pieces, he has just said that the classical and jazz tradition has masterpieces of this scope, while rock doesn't.

>>72006453
Not even his best

>>72005041
I'd be okay with this though

>>72006630
This is too good, those other pieces in the OP are not necessarily the best, they are just popular but also good

>>72009184
>I'm not a jazzfag
it shows

>>72009238
Sounds like you're finding what you want to find between the lines. I don't see anything OP's said that suggests what you've said either.

>>72009320
OP here. He's pretty much right. You asshole.

Not that guy but OP implies at most what that guy's saying.
>Classical has ..... masterpiece
>Jazz has ..... masterpiece
>What the hell does rock have?

If albums count Rock has potentially more than a few to pin the label on, as you would Symphony 9 or Rhapsody in blue (which I hadn't heard of until today but is quite good, especially considering the year it was made, but Gershwin is a well known genius)

>>72009515
>...masterpiece

Subjective, vague, and totally unclear. What specific qualities are we meant to point to when looking for equivalents in the rock genre? What makes a song a "masterpiece" given these standards? The question is meaningless.

All tracks of Egor Letov

>>72009664
your opinion makes it a masterpiece you dingus. Pick some albums and stand by them

I say TMR is one good example

>your opinion makes it a masterpiece

>>72009820
if you don't think that's true there's no hope for you. Masterpiece isn't a fact, it's an opinion to be agreed with or not.

It should be obvious that Beethoven's 9th isn't any more "objectively" a masterpiece than something like Eccojams. It's just that we've collectively agreed on one and not the other

>>72009193
hey I was going to say that. Is it because scaruffi said so?
