" The Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1046–1051, original title: Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments) are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, in 1721 (though probably composed earlier). They are widely regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. "

Dude, who the hell pressed the laughter emoji on you posting Bach? Since when is Bach funny? :\ They did it to me too, so who's laughing at us posting classical music?

"Fun" used to be "Funny". There was an official announcement about it about a year ago or more. I always upvote anything not serious as "Fun", especially all things entertainment. And sometimes I and others will give things both votes to reward all 3 points (every "insightful" earns 2 points and every "fun" earns 1 point). I also often give folks votes to mark which ones I've read in long threads. The votes IMO are mostly meaningless other than a vague indicator of popularity.

IMO, this voting system is for shit, though still better than the up/down.

I've thought long and hard about a better alternative voting system but it would not only require convincing the coders, the users, and actually building/implementing it that it would only be practical on a new site. It's only slightly more complex to get better analysis, yet simple, though certainly there would be people complaining about anything slightly mores complex. It'd be easier to show in an illustration.

My faves are: #2 I-III, #3 I-III, #5 I (impressive riffing), #4 I, III. I know they're the popular ones - for a reason, with a better hook.
