Composers and bands in googlefight - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**metropropuskruww** · 12-13-2005, 04:39 AM

I needed a break from composing, so I decided to put 16 composers and bands in a Google Fight to see who was more popular (or most frequently spoken of) on the internet. Quite silly really, but also rather amusing for geeks like me.

Here's the result:

..as you can see: Classical music was the more popular genre in this little cup. Or at least, the names of the classical composers are most frequently used

Three cheers for Händel!

Hmmm.... Actually its a rather surprising outcome as names like Mozart, Bach and Beethoven are a bit more "famous" among the general public.

Funny.....

I am surprised that Classical music was the most popular genre, but why not...

Well, it sure seems that a majority of internet users write more about classical composers than of those in other genres. I was quite surprised that Mozart smacked up both Eminem and the Beatles, only to be beaten by Bach, and I certainly didn't like that Hans Zimmer was beaten in the first round :-)

I'm a bit surprised that Handel beat Bach!

Very cool idea, but the results aren't all that surprising.

Googlefight gets more uses every day.
