    It seemed a little drawn out to me. I wanted to say to him "dude, every syllable doesn't have to last a full four-count".

    That said, it's not terrible. 4/10

    Here's one from the 'mats.

    Really getting to love Dvorak. Also love watching this composer as he can't help but sing along.

    Dvorak is good stuff, even if I can only take late Romantic composers in small doses 8/10.

    Here is the sound of the American West, as composed by a gay Russian Jew.

    That gave me a chuckle.

    I do like this piece, only if I can disassociate myself from all its commercial use, which is tough. When I can, though, it's a 8/10.

    I must admit, though, I like this version better--probably a blasphemous statement to the classical community.

    Quite jolly, considering. 6/10


    Another adaptation of a classic, from the days when a keyboard player couldn't get into any decent parties unless he'd rearranged The Valkyries for glockenspiel and moog.

    Personally, I think this one's a bit feeble and bloodless.

    7/10. I was proud of myself for knowing it was from Holst's Planets Suite, Jupiter in particular.

    My other favorite version of Hoedown. (Song starts at around 2:00 if you want to get right to it.)

    Never listened to that type of music before. They were really good. 9/10

    My daughter used to listen to Bollywood music and watch the films, which is where I came across this version.

    Sorry, but just not my thing, in any language. Though, I liked that it didn't take itself seriously and realized what it was: a goofy pop song, so I'll be really generous: 5/10.

    I'm glad you liked Bela, Paul. I like to describe them as bluegrass jazz fusion. If there's another band out there like them, I haven't found 'em. The put on an absolutely amazing show, and their bass player is possibly the best alive.

    Here's another of theirs, an original and a personal favorite.

    Very good. they are excellent players. 9/10

    The name Big Country reminded me of these. They didn't do as much as they might have done.

    I've not heard that one by Ozzy before. He's a laugh isn't he. 8/10 - good metal sound.

    I haven't listened to this for a while. It takes me back to teen parties I used to go to. It was always on.

    Boy, that is a long one! I'm going with seven-tenths because I enjoyed the intro.

    Next one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs1bG...ist=QL&index=2
