The problem with this is that neither of them did much REAL innovation. It was all done by one man before them, much more radically.
Yes, I speak of Erik Satie. A true genius. Debussy gets all the credit Satie deserves-Ravel and Debussy (admittedly grudgingly) agree.

I agree with this completely, however innovation is not my priority when listening to music, especially in pieces by men who were dead before my grandfather is alive. Gymnopedies is one fucking awesome piece of music though.

Yeah, listening to music purely for innovation is a fairly stupid thing. But I said that it response to the statement that Debussy 'was the transition between impressionist and modern music' when in reality that was more Satie.
--- Quote ---Andrew Lloyd Webber is a scourge on humanity who doesn't deserve mention in the same thread as these late Romantic geniuses...haha, well maybe he's not quite that bad, but he is pretty terrible. Sondheim, on the other hand, is amazing...

I went to a musical theater school for three years, and I still don't get why everyone loves him so much.

I actually sorta liked Jesus Christ Superstar, if only for the sheer ridiculousness factor. It had some pretty good songs, I'll say that much.
But is it weird that after seeing it Judas was my favorite character?

For the most part, everyone loves Judas after seeing Superstar. It's actually more about Judas and his suffering than it is about Christ-and besides, Judas gets all the best songs. (Heaven on Their Minds)
This post is quote-astic!
Storm Rider:
The only two I can remember are the one at the beginning (JEEEEEEEEEESUUUUUUUUUUUS!) and the "What do we do about Jesus of Nazareth?" one. Those were both pretty good though.
IronOxide:
You mean course "This Jesus Must Die" if you want to look it up likee a terrible person.
My favorite one is King Herod's Song, because it's RIGHT IN MY RANGE. Fuck yeah.

Jesus Christ Superstar is shit when compared to the best Jesus musical:
JESUS CHRIST VAMPIRE HUNTER
Kai:
Is that a musical? I remember seeing it mentioned here and there, but.
