Do not listen to the heathen Wagnerite.

You want Beethoven. You need Beethoven. Your soul craves Beethoven.

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."

Actually "Ride" is pretty awesome, I used it for the ringtone on my old cell phone. Wagner does have some wonderful moments (and some terrible quarter-hours *cue rim shot*). I like some of the purely orchestral suites I've heard, with all of the singing - or "singing" as the case may be, YMMV - left out.
