I see. So if it's new, it is by definition poor quality?

If the content has to be decrypted in order to be used, then the answer
is generally yes. But not because of the algorithm used - most attacks
don't attack the algorithm anymore, they attack the decryption mechanism.
For someone with the skills, extracting the necessary keys has become
fairly trivial. How long did it take for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD
encryption to be "broken"?

Predictably, I haven't heard of most of those. (My mum is very keen on
Queen though. I like a few of their tracks, but overall it's just not my
personal taste.)
Wait - there's a person on Earth apart from me who listens to Enigma?
Woah...

I think you'd recognize Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - probably just didn't
know it was Mozart. Beethoven, I think you'd probably recognise the
major symphonies (5 & 9), and possibly the Moonlight Sonata.
Chopin, I'm actually hard-pressed to come up with a song off the top of
my head - most of his works were piano IIRC, and I didn't play piano.

Abba is not new.

I didn't say that Abba was new. Or bad. You're the one saying my entire
music collection sucks. :-P

Chopin did not write songs: mazurkas, valses, nocturnes, etudes and sonatas
were his main output. You probably heard a lot of them, as well as the famous
funeral march movement from his second Sonata.

Most of them are classical composers.

My brother introduced me. I quite like it, though I haven't listened to
it a lot.

In fairness, early Mozart has a lot of the same elements that Bach does
in terms of style, even though they're from different time periods. Now
to someone who doesn't listen to classical music a lot, those differences
are going to be fairly difficult to spot.
Just like I couldn't tell you the stylistic differences between, say,
Metallica and AC/DC.

Well, yes, but you know what I mean. ;-)

Ah, yes, I probably have. Though I prefer the one from Gotterdammerung
or something like Saint-Saens' Danse Macabe. :-)
