Cross over, children. All are welcome. All welcome. Go into the Beethoven. There is peace and serenity in the Beethoven.
Here's me, listening to the beginning of the overture of every Wagner opera ever:
"Hey... this isn't too bad. Maybe I'll really like this one."
Here's me, 45 minutes later:
"OH DEAR GOD PLEASE LET IT END."

Wagner is an acquired taste, particularly late Wagner.

Wagner does have some wonderful moments (and some terrible quarter-hours *cue rim shot*).

Pfft. Rossini was a sellout.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to flood with information. My concentration is Wagner Studies, and I actually teach a course on the Ring Cycle. It is hard to turn off professor mode sometimes. Feel free to disregard.
EDIT: In fact, that goes for everybody. I am sorry if I am droning on and lecturing. I try not to talk about music here for fear of being overbearing.
