Classic FM reveals their top 300 best-loved classical music pieces, a user-voted compendium of 2011's Hall of Fame from the country of cottages and horses. The Top 30 rank reveals loads that aren't OC's cup of tea (<---lol). Take a look after the jump, although #1 is the morose genius above, Rachmaninov for his Piano Concerto No. 2
Ok, but the real news here is that after poking around the site, Classic FM has an e-dating service. OC's signing-up. It's...it's for a friend. Not me. I'm a s3x maker.
