for those of you who aren't familiar, 4'33" is a musical composition by John Cage that consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence.
In iTunes, it's fairly easy to organize all the songs by length, and I grabbed a screen shot of all the songs in my music library that were 4'33" ([Print Scrn]), pasted it into paint ([ctrl] + [V]), saved it as an image, uploaded it into ImageShaq® and posted it here:
are these songs better or worse than silence?
some are, and some aren't. it's open to debate and discussion.
you are welcome to post images of your collection of 4'33"s and debate and discuss them here.
you may also type them out, but that's time consuming. the printscreen method is pretty quick, and I've provided all the links you'd need.
cheers,
Faiz

No beardrock, though.

I have "And it Stoned Me" and it's 4:35....
The hip-hop is represented well. I like it. Big-ups to the E double/Green-Eyed Bandit and Parish Smith.

Seeing it being performed live to an audience that didn't get it, would be great.
