Are these for real or a joke? Seems like an academic invention from somebody with one of those decadent unnecessary degrees.

Where do bagpipes fit in? I can only think of a single track I like with them on.

Clearly you missed this.

 

[pavuol]

Ok folks, I listen to constructive comment, so I have searched the net and found some more "level charts", including "classical" music

 

[Soniclife]

Clearly you missed this.

I'd rather listen to that than any of the bagpipe records my parents friends have.

 

[pavuol]

And maybe, in the first picture "classical" was left out on purpose, as it has "levels" on its own

 

[pavuol]

Anyway, I must confess, I still know a little about music, looking at these pictures

 

[Fluffy]

What level is Meshuggah at?

 

[Hipper]

I like the sound of sex but I don't see that on the list either.

You used to be able to get recordings but I don't think they were audiophile quality. Perhaps they are these days?

Why do you think that any of these has any validity at all?

Hi Kal, I don't. I don't take that serious, but aside from fun it sure has some "educative" value, the genres I've never heard of raise curiosity in me, to to give a try of same samples and broaden my musical knowledge/outlook.

When the stereo is switched on and playing jazz, taste has developed upwards to level 1 over the years.
But when the music is switched off, it tends to be level infinity. The blood flowing in my inner ears causing a decent critical bands 23&24 noise, which I decided to like after all, because it tells me I am alive...fortunately also still in stereo, both channels same loudness...

It seems similar to 100 albums of all time lists, you never agree with them, but you can often find great new to you music in there. These days with steaming and YouTube it's a good addition to music journalism, the quality of which has declined it seems to me.

"The rest of Pachelbels compositions" !!!! I love it!
I remember getting (I think?) the first LP with the Canon in D on it from Musical Heritage Society Way Back When, and then seeing it explode in popularity within months (?). I was (still aren't) sure whether to be glad for it's wide adoption/acceptance (wedding planners especially) for it's exposure to that form of music, or bemoan The Crowd thing. (Sorry Kierkegaard).
Oh well, no accounting for 'taste' - it is what it is (but can change, at least).
Funny stuff.

Under Level 6, 'Harsh Noise'.

Neddy, don't tell anyone, but I can confess >
1. I only know Canon from Pachelbel and at the same time one particular adaptation is in my "audiophile percussion test" repository:

2. Although I'm not into classics, I swear I will listen some of the Pachelbels compositions

Well, and as the weekend is coming, I post some more pictures, sorry for size, but I hope it's better than links, for "permanent reference":
