I also like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. There are some movie themes and scores that qualify as classical music because they fall into the genre, even though people tend to look down on them because I appreciate them. Next up is gothic/rock opera. This is an area that has a huge following in some places in Europe and is unknown in other countries. The band Nightwish is amazing. They work with dramatic and epic vocals along with rock music and an orchestra. The production of their songs is very expensive and often involves up to eighty people. There's also Evanescenti, and they're a band that's more like a gothic rock band, but they still use epic vocals to get their point across and they're very good at that. I also like Avril Lavigne. Avril is not a gothic opera singer, but she has a voice that would translate very well into gothic and rock opera. He has a very powerful voice that he manages to mix with feeling and emotion, which is why I also like some of his songs. The third is rap music. I don't care about rap music because it seems to be based on bad poetry and I don't like poetry in general. However, I like Eminem and he has a fantastic selection of heartfelt and very powerful songs. The messages in his songs seem to carry more weight than the music itself. Some of his songs and their music have become iconic and he has a talent for touching people emotionally with his words and music. And the last one is rock. My tastes in rock are both mainstream and outsider. For example, I really like some Aerosmith songs and I also like some Kid Rock songs. My other tastes are slightly detached. For example, I think Delain are incredibly talented. I think Delain achieves a form of power in their music that others are only able to achieve by using anger. I think Nemesea at least had a good album because they didn't worry about pleasing the masses and it worked well. I think some of Within Temptation's songs have a lot of heart and I also think Blink 182 has an attitude and exuberance that no other band has managed to capture. Please note: this is just an example.

I honestly can't say that one genre is better than another. I think any genre can have a great song if the music producers are good enough. This is proven by the fact that I like Eminem, as I don't like rap in general.
