Obviously it's mostly an opinion thing, but I'm still interested in showing him why I think what I listen to is beautiful. I mentioned to him that there actually are some similarities between metal and classical, and that I feel that *in some cases* metal is a modern extension of the classical genre.
So, I'm making a CD for him. If you were doing the same thing, and you wanted to show a lover of classical music that metal can be just as beautiful and complex, what would you put on the CD?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks-

if he actually think's that music has stopped progressing since bach... well that's pretty retarded... the romantics and the modern composers have explored whole musical universes that earlier composers only hinted at
