Also, Take Five is a fine piece of music, but do you really think it's the most important piece of music to be written in 5/4?
Nope. Mars, by Gustav Holst, motherfucker.

@intransitivelie@beige.party I showed this to my wife who is a classical music nerd, and she said "meh, Mars was a hit, but was it important?" Every so often I think metallers or jazz folks are the epitome of gatekeeping, but the classical folks always manage to one-up us.
