Who talks about formal perfection? YOU just said "it's shaky," I only said "what a load of crap," don't start twisting things around ;)

Come on, pretazzo, what a mess, I'm listening to All Tomorrow's Parties right now, if those vocals are shaky what does Mark Linkous do, does he die right while singing?

Ah ah ah, what nonsense Enea... Look, "tremula" means "that trembles" not "that makes elongated vowels." Come on, admit you said something stupid, and let's leave it at that.

So, calm down, the time for synthesis has come. (1) The VU made MUSIC that is VERY IMPORTANT (in the sense that they were pioneering for many subsequent genres) and BEAUTIFUL (in the sense that it is still very enjoyable, in one way or another). (2) Of course, they also absorbed influences from pre-existing artists, but the result is irreproachably personal. (3) They were a niche group, their later success (this is a good one) was decided by the enormous influence they had on various musical groups. (4) Nico is a woman. (5) Nico's voice is as shaky as Cassano is cultured. (6) Personally, if I had to choose ONE album to represent "uncultured" music of the twentieth century, it would be this one. Greetings to everyone and kisses to all.

Well, since opera is both a theatrical and musical genre, the solution cannot be reached theoretically but only through direct investigation. If you pay me, I'll go interview the people who attend operas :)

Ok, it has become customary to define indie-rock as the rock made by independent artists, which is certainly different from slo-fi (even though it can be created by the same person, see Sparklehorse). Is that alright? My goodness, how you twist and turn over words and miss the point. And the point is: lyrical production is different from classical production, even though many artists do both; and it has less following for various reasons, among which there is NOT a conspiracy against you ;D

Okay, Sparklehorse is an indie rocker and also does slo-fi, yes, come on we all know that stagnant behaviors don’t work, that doesn’t change the fact that one can differentiate between the various productions...

I repeat: in a review of Chopin, it seems natural to refer to classical music rather than to opera. As for the general discussion, well, opera has less following than classical music, that's just the way it is; it's part of the natural order of things that something spreads more and something less. Indie rock has more following than slo-fi, oh dear, we can't expect to convince all indie rockers to talk more about slo-fi, can we?
