Steve Reich’s Daniel Variations - They call it contemporary classical. I call it some of the best music I’ve ever heard. B)

Marilyn Manson, Tainted Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQuKo3SevVA
Marilyn Mansons latest album, The High End of Low is probably my favorite one of theirs (and the album the preceded it), for the figurative language, morbidity, insight, romance, etc.
Here’s some song:
Running to the Edge of the World:

This is Halloween off the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. 
Well I’m listening to Bad Religion, as they’re my favorite band. I know, some collectivist leanings. But I think they have more of an individualist streak and are pro-reason (and so anti-corporatism, anti-jingoism,etc.). I generally like my music fast, with meaningful lyrics (I also like country, classic rock, etc., its just not my favorite). I’ve never found classical to be something I want to listen to very often, as I like words rather than musical sounds (one has meaning, the other is just emotional reactions, which aren’t as interesting).
Some of my favorite songs of theirs is “American Jesus” and “New Dark Ages”.
