Is it?

Is Liszt's music mostly just macho Red Bull time music?

Okay this is what Liszt is often accused of (maybe not in those exact words but you get the point). So is it?

Will abstain from voting, since the diversity in Abbé Liszt´s oeuvre transcends the aforementioned attempt at a general characterization.

BTW, there´s some rather awful stuff there too, in spite of the many, many fine pieces & interesting, ambitious works.

Not really, I think, because of it´s admittedly at times uneven quality. That said, there´s a lot I love.
Ah, I forgot that "rulz" and "sucks" is indeed a rather polarized choice....
Well, I´m probably just being stubborn.
Rulz:

works like

Zonata, Via Cruziz, Les Preludez, Chriztuz, Lugubre Gondola 1-2, Anneez de Pelerinaze, Harmoniez Poetiquez et Religieuzez, Zello workz, Totentanz, Orpheuz, 2 Legendez, a good bunch of the Lieder, Fauzt Chorus, Fauzt Zymphony, Dante Zymphony, etc. etc. ...
