Somebody try getting me into classical music. Bach and whatnot.

Probably the only genre (however wide spread) that I really have no knowledge of. It would also enable me to post something in the "Recommended to me thread"

Uhhhmmm NO!

The best way to get into classical is find a good streaming station and put it on. Google "All Classical Portland", that's my favorite

I've been trying myself to get into more electronica recently and have had slight success but it's still not ideal, anyone want to give it a go?

Which artists did you listen to when you were trying it out? Just so I can think of similar ones that might be better.

Well I have obviously heard a lot of the big artists in the genre but have never really fallen in love. It's so wide with so many subgenres that it really intimidates me. I mean I love Daft Punk's 'Discovery' and some Justice but that stuff is so poppy that I feel it barely counts. Lately I have just been downloading label compilations to see if anything takes my fancy and it all works well as background noise but not as something I would actively seek out. Same deal with most ambient stuff like Aphex Twin and Autechre.

Will anyone kindly try to win me over, too? I'm trying to get into it, but I'm not getting anywhere, it seems.

I just let it play and learned. Generally speaking the great composers are great for a reason, and I have favorites in each classical era. I like Bach, Telemann and Handel in the baroque era, Mozart, Hayden and early Beethoven in the classical era, I love the romantic composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin, and I love Holst, Stravinsky, and Vaughan Williams in the modern era, although I'm leaving out a ton of other composers in all those eras.
