Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

Classical, Romantic era, chamber music
Sony, 1991
Begun in 1796 and finished by April of 1797, and classified as being from Beethoven's "early period", yet gives an excellent demonstration of Beethoven's maturation and evolution into what would be called "the Romantic era".
Sigur Ros
dauðalagið (the death song)
Post-rock, Experimental
Fat Cat/MCA, 2002
pronounces as "dauth-a-lag-ith" (my best estimate). There are no true lyrics - Jonsi sings in what we might label a sort of scat, Icelandic style. The way they put it, they want to leave things blank so that the listener can bring their own experiences to the work, which is why they titled this album "( )", and left the liner notes blank. On their website, they actually invite the listener to do their own liner notes (they even included a booklet with 10 blank pages).
popplagið (the pop song)
given the above, we can figure that this pronounces as "pop-la-gith"
Shadows Fall
The Light That Binds
Metal
Century Media, 2004
 
Eternity is Within
 
Norma Jean
A Small Spark Vs. A Great Forest
Metal, "Metalcore"
Solid State, 2006
Based on James 3:5-16 (yes, that's from the Bible). They have recently begun work on a new album, and will be touring on this year's Warped Tour.
