[RC] If what you want is a 4x4 beat (was: Music, etc.) - k s swigart

Don't count on "classical" music having a 4x4 beat (can you say "waltz").

If what you are looking for is a 4x4 beat, the best place to look is for 
"classic rock" since that is almost the classic definition of "rock music"

"The beat is essentially a boogie woogie (i.e. a "straight four") blues rhythm 
with an accentuated backbeat,"

However, if what you are looking for is music to trot to, you may also want to 
consider 2/4 time instead (i.e. a march).
