Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Alban Berg
Sergei Prokofiev
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Gabriel Faure(the best chamber composer ever!!)
Richard Wagner
Hans Pfitzner
Anton Bruckner
Giuseppe Verdi
Edward Lalo(best Cello concerto ever)
Arvo Part
Samuel Barber
Claude Debussy(you have to love the Preludes!)
Einojuhani Rautavaara

some nice classical stuff, indeed, but i'm not in the mood to listen that kinda stuff nowadays, though times has changed and that music isn't real for me, i prefer soundtracks better - the new classics!

He just borrowed it like...but only the best parts of it cuz he's gentle ye know...

if he was that gentle he would have borrowed the worst parts.
 
btw, is it just me who feels a bit hmmmm strange when you have to give a list of your favorite composers? I mean, I just can't do this, I can't say "Bach" or "Chaikovsky" and a non-classical composer in the same breath, I mean it's just a comparison you can't make. Can you say if Schubert was better than Roger Waters? I mean, shit! :):):)
