Depressing? You mean this thread is so depressing, you're turning suicidal?
Okay, it's sooo "depressing" why are you here?

There's quite a lot I like, both of piano covers & songs made for the piano. I wouldn't say I have a favourite, just that I enjoy many of them.

There's some piano songs that have lyrics that I like too (typically Japanese, but not limited to them).

^what she said.
What's wrong with listening to mainstream classical music? o-o They're really good songs. I particularly love Moonlight Sonata.
OT: If classical, probably [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM_XgiXwWxk]Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude by Bach[/url] and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJyamVKudQY]Minuet in G Major by Bach[/url], also.

@Loss Out of the three main periods of classical music, the baroque is probably my least favorite too, but I don't hate it.

I'm not annoyed at people listening to mainstream classical, I listen to some of it myself.

@RiceWuvsU Well... the songs you listed except for "Butterfly Waltz" (Which I wouldn't call classical) are songs that pretty much everybody knows...

Just to let you know, I don't listen to classical music on the radio and I certainly do not just listen to classical music.
I listen to classical music from songs I know in the piano.

Shouldn't you be glad young people even listen to classical music? Mainstream or not?

@RiceWuvsU Baroque/Classical/Romantic is a huge genre... you shouldn't just limit yourself to the stuff you hear on the radio...

@ColdAir
Moonlight Sonata and Fur Elise are very classical and just as good as Canon in D.
It takes time to learn the whole thing, but practice makes perfect! c:
@civfanatics Those are my favorites, but I also listen to covers of the 20th century pop songs too..

@RiceWuvsU i know! i have been playing ever since i got a piano for christmas so i guess around 3 months? i will definetely look at learning the other songs you recommended once i finish learning Canon in D. if you have any other songs that might be good to learn let me know please!

@abundance629 I agree... she just listed mainstream classical... although I guess the Prelude Op 3 No 2 is a bit mainstream... so are a few of my suggestions.
