It doesn't weird me out in the least. Maybe it depends on why you listen to the music. To me it's like comfort food, most of the time. Comfort food doesn't include licorice glazed parsnips with anchovy drizzle. Also like heroic music. That doesn't have anchovy drizzle, either.

The Rite of Spring is one of my all time favorite pieces now. And none of Mahler's symphonies!! Ouch. ;-)

The first time I heard the Rite (at 13) I didn't care for it at all. Neither did the audience at its premiere. They interrupted the piece with an impromptu riot. Too dissonant for Romantic ears.

Despite lots of classes, I still can't handle Shoenberg or Cage any of the 12 tone stuff. I need a tonic to hold onto. Although I was so deeply moved by Penderecki's THrenody to Hiroshima, which I was listening to in the car on the way home from class, that I was almost to the house when I realized I had forgotten to pick up my toddlers at daycare. Have no idea why that got me when most modern stuff doesn't. My younger son's favorite opera is Wozzeck. Go figure.
