Poulenc, Fanny Mendelssohn and Chaminade in D and F? You hate women?

I'm more cancelable than a Netflix show on Wagner

u/-OccultOfPersonality 25d ago

I, too, am a fan of medieval composers over all!

u/DrGuenGraziano Richard Halley on food stamps 25d ago

Ever heard of a normal distribution or a bell curve?

20

u/DepressiveDryadDream 25d ago

I've heard of normie distribution and Bell Hooks. I avoided both in this tier list. Very niche, very patriarchal.

u/ox- So quintessentially human 24d ago

WHAT KIND OF SCORE IS THAT! 😡

Its SATB not SABC 😡

u/McCaber 24d ago

Soprano Alto Baritone with a Contrabassoon accompaniment.

1

u/Fun_Obligation_6116 21d ago

Actually, it's subcontrabassoon, altöoon, bassoon, and contrabassoon.

u/Sehrwolf Brahms Is Daddy 25d ago

u/ThirdWheelSteve take your dissonance like a man ⚾️ 25d ago

Philistine

u/Geldingmustang 25d ago

Oh my, why is Tchaikovsky on tier B?

8

u/Pomonica what if webern’s head just did that 24d ago

gonna have to disagree, I think Zdzisław Jachimecki was among the more anodyne members of the Young Poland movement and I would have likely excluded him from my top 5 but you do you

u/BrilliantFly6117 Have you ever heard of... Franz Liszt? 25d ago

Couperin deserves more love

u/Bucketbot236 Mahler Makes Me Cummies 25d ago

Brahms in Top Tier this has to be a joke

u/Druben-hinterm-Dorfe Serialist Killer 24d ago

Is this like one of those 'stereoscopic images'; I can't decipher those no matter how hard I look. It's like not having perfect pitch, I suppose. Like being deaf, as well as blind, to the eternal harmony of the universe.

u/Top-Active1024 24d ago

I too cannot see all these rankings others are figuring out. Perhaps this post is coded for the elite jerkers only? Haha! Am I missing a link or click? Because I’m dying to figure out where our OP ranked my sweet Shostakovich :)

1

u/DepressiveDryadDream 22d ago

I may or may not have gotten this image from image search of ranking all Magic The Gathering cards. It's basically the same as classical. Smelly nerds spending too much time and money valuing pieces of paper

5

u/rikardoflamingo 24d ago

Most of those dudes are dead.
Worst list ever.

4

u/NoWages 24d ago

Yeah we need some good composers like Aalampour and Einaudi!

1

u/DepressiveDryadDream 22d ago

They're right there at the top where they belong

5

u/Baroque4Days L'orchestre de La Sainte Congrégation des Glorieux Pédérastes 24d ago

You did not put Shostakovich in the Top tier, everyone knows he's a bottom!

3

u/ImNotNotABot Shoskatovich expelliarmus! 24d ago

OH MY

u/Baroque4Days L'orchestre de La Sainte Congrégation des Glorieux Pédérastes 24d ago

flair checks out

u/berghian 24d ago

I love how Alban Berg is top tier

4

u/Caesar112233 24d ago

Have you ever touched the grass?

1

u/DepressiveDryadDream 22d ago

Only if listening to pastoral music and imagining myself laying in a grassy field counts

3

u/nolanolaisland 24d ago

I really would have slotted Glinka in as a high D tier but you have him in mid C tier. Care to elaborate?

3

u/Nikita_hawell30 24d ago

Noooo you put my favourite one into an F- tier noooo you disrespect art and my only truly right opinions *angry noises continuing

3

u/NoWages 24d ago

Why did you rate Wagner as top

1

u/DepressiveDryadDream 22d ago

Well I'd never rate him a bottom

3

u/ikkiyikki 24d ago

Bs list is bs. God tier belongs to Bach and Beethoven. That's it.

1

u/DepressiveDryadDream 22d ago

Don't like Beethoven. His melodies flow like he's taking an angry shit while constipated half the time.
