There is a thread on this somewhere in these forums, although it let only one option. I'm sure we will be seeing a clear spike in the Romantic era. My favourites: Classical and Romantic.

And yes, I expect to see many votes for the Romantic period.

I share your preference for the romantic period, although I also appreciate the others...

Oh, I bet we'll be crushed by the Romantic army pretty soon.

Romantics have more a tendency to kill themselves than to fight!
Off-topic: Alnitak and the Horsehead. I'm so used to hearing that name and seeing that picture that I took them for granted. Wow, this board has its share of astro-enthusiasts, doesn't it?

The horsehead is practically invisible in the avatar. Do you thing I should change it?Off-topic: Alnitak and the Horsehead. I'm so used to hearing that name and seeing that picture that I took them for granted. Wow, this board has its share of astro-enthusiasts, doesn't it?

Those who know the Horsehead will recognise it, and those who don't and are curious will ask. Then you could tell them everything about BB-Nucleosynthesis, star formation, etc. and get them to look up at the sky every night.
In other news, the Revolutionary Romantics have caught up with the Controversial Classicals in the race for being the favourite musical era .
