Mack, if you want others to respect your oppinions, you should try respecting their's first. Coming out and saying that I am wrong, that some of my favorte music is the worst symphonic music availble, you opened yourself up. No one feels sorry for you right now. There is nothing wrong with enjoying music like Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring or Ravel's Mother Goose Suite (symphonic version). This is some of the most progressive music in orchestration, one way or another, reguardless of how you may feel about it.
