Removing legacy and popularity from reasons why a monument is important is a strange choice. Especially since a monument is generally created by the people to commemorate something important.Legacy and popularity are important, but so is the monument and what it is itself! You can say the "etymology" doesn't matter anymore, it just is what it is now, but I'm never going to be able to respect something that's, essentially, popular because it's popular as much as I would otherwise. It's the Kardashian of national monuments --- List the ominous stern whisper from the delphic cave within: They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin |

Like all symbols, obviously.No, there's a degree of abstraction there you don't usually get. You can have direct, declared symbolism: the Statue of Liberty was created to be a symbol, WYSIWYG. You can have it becoming a symbol because of its context: the Confederate Flag is a symbol because of associations of who used it and why and how. Here, the Liberty Bell is a symbol not because it was created to be one (it was just a bell), or even because of its use lending it power (I don't think its use as a way to bind that community has any relevance or thought in our minds at all), but because of the other people using it as a symbol who decided it was a symbol. It's like the Gadsden Flag now; most people don't think about its use in the revolution, they think about the libertarian dipshits who ruined it. It's not a symbol of what it's actually a symbol of, it's a symbol of the people that took it as a symbol. A symbol of what it was a symbol of. Its original birth is gone. It's just a symbol that's a symbol because it's a symbol now. It's a symbol of those civil rights groups, and if they used a cool-shaped rock it'd be just the same, and I'd be hesitant to go venerate that rock symbol symbol symbol. I'm so semantically satiated it's beyond belief --- List the ominous stern whisper from the delphic cave within: They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin |

In the 1700s, it was originally used as a way to alert people to go to town meetings. So it was an important symbol of community unity. Later on, it came to be known as a symbol for freedom and equal rights. Campaigns to abolish slavery, give equal rights to black people, and suffrage to women all featured the bell as a symbol of freedom. Pretty important Id say.so it's an important symbol because people decided it was an important symbol --- List the ominous stern whisper from the delphic cave within: They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin |

41/61 Mega Man Zero 3 - Cannon Ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9_KLdeaijs The overdriven guitars of MMX and Zero never seem to be utilized well. They also just sound goofy and their effect is flat. Until the piano, the song is repetitive and boring, but the piano section actually has impact and an effective melody Arti 40/61 Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland - Dark Domain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X21ig41AFe4 oh I forgot this was playing.

51/61 Crash Twinsanity - Worm Chase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jjf92tENoI I knew a few Twinsanity songs, that bordered on being metal, being absolutley bonkers in how they utilized and abused a capella. This... is not that.

Dramatic Western orchestral choir music can totally slay, but it's hard needle to thread, and if you don't hit that bullseye just right, you'll fly like a lead balloon Anagram 52/61 Suikoden II - La Mia Tristezza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnm7jfD8BHo Pretty, but kind of fails to excell at anything. I've heard much, much better guitar work in this kind of song, the singer has a nice voice but sounds a bit bored and isn't putting in the emotion she should, and even the flamenco clapping is weirdly muted. Also isn't Suikoden set during the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something?

61/61 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Twilit Battle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=646K_a_j9Pc Ah yes, the lowest song from my battle rankings. I like a lot of very abrasive music, but this, and the next song to drop (at the time of writing, and least, and hopefully in truth), has a very specific effect that I. Cannot. Stand. Overwhelmingly unpleasant to listen to, and (and I can't believe I'm at the point where I have to specify this) not in a good way Hbthebattle 60/61 Sable - Beetle Detour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEDqMdmCygg eugh. I hate the constant popping. That kind of sound is like nailing things into my head. blarglegarf. That's not making me appreciate the indie guitar any more. I honestly can't really focus on any other part of the song.
