The Best Classical and Rock Music Fusion

I listen to just about anything. Some exceptions of course. I like jazz. And the I like both country and western (yes, there is a difference). Rock. Alternative. R&B. You name it.

But my all-time favorite Genre is Classical. Give me the two original heavy metal artists (Bach and Beethoven) and I’m happy.

But the thing I really like is those outfits that take classical and merge it into rock. Put on stuff Rick Wakeman did (I’m thinking Journey to the Center of the Earth) or Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds and I’ll listen to it all day.

Something I’m a huge fan of is an outfit called Two Steps from Hell. I’d cheerfully kill to see and hear them in concert.

And before I forget, what list would be complete without Mike Oldfield.

Mash rock and classical, and wow!

And since I’m bragging about some of these artists, here’s a list of my favorite below for you listening pleasure:

Rick Wakeman: Journey to the Center of the Earth Clair de Lune

Jeff Wayne: War of the Worlds

Two Steps from Hell: Live

Mike Oldfield: Music of the Sphere’s

J.S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Beethoven: Piano Concerto no. 5
