    I absolutely love all of the Canon remakes done by metal guitarists. Search for Canon in youtube and I'm sure one will find so many renditions of this timeless masterpiece.

    Well, I cringe at the sound of sloppy distorted guitar playing his peices, but on classical guitar, they sound great! I play a few of em.

    Pachelbel did not right any music for the piano, he was dead before it was invented.

    Canon in D major, for three violins, viola, Continuo and contrabasso is what it's all about, It is incredibly well written and very inspiartional

    I enjoy it. And play the piano version (one of them) but it's been far overused as a marriage ritual walking-the-aisle stereotypical hymn of hymns.

    I've only heard his Canon in D, but it's a good piece. I should listen to more, though. I mean his music IS in my favorite genre. (Baroque!)

    The Canon in D... argh. I cannot stand that piece, it just drives me up the wall.

    For a humorous take on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

    I do however like Eno's Three Variations on the Canon in D Major on Discreet Music.
