Do you like atonal music?

[pianoguy711]

If so, which pieces stand out for you?

[j_menz]

"Atonal" is quite an imprecise term.

That said, there's a vast amount of music that may be so described, ranging from the very good through to the truly dreadful.

An ape could compose atonal music, but not in a billion years a classical sonata.

Atonal sucks.

Atonal sucks.

As j_menz points out, "atonal" is an imprecise term and, speaking as someone who composes almost entirely tonally, atonality (insofar as it might be thought to exist - and it means different things to different people, hence j_menz's comment) is a part of an expressive vocabulary.

Vacuum cleaners suck (when they're working properly); apes neither compose atonally or "classically" nor operate vacuum cleaners.

It was a joke my little feminist.

Let us not fall out over such a trifle.

Oh alright. That's reassuring.
