Though, I do find this list a bit lacking. Schoenberg? Berg? Webern? Mahler? Strauss? Cowell? Partch? Young? Feldman? Penderecki? Part? Carter? Shostakovich? Khachaturian? etc. etc. etc.

I have an album Takemitsu guitar stuff. Good going-to-sleep music, if you like having weird, twisted dreams. I must say, Messiaen is probably my favorite composer of all time, let alone 20th century. Satie would be my second choice. After that, it gets pretty close. |

(but I'd say you have to give him lots of time and listens, I used to dislike him either)

Yeah, thats nice music and Kapastin will make a nice entry into our 3rd Stream genre. My favorite 3rd Stream composer is William Grant Stills.

Went with Ravel because I occasionally find Debussy a bit too sappy, but It's really hard to choose because there are so many different styles represented in this poll. Has anyone heard of Nikolai Kapustin? He's a heavily jazz influenced composer, and as far as I know he's still composing.

In painting, impressionists are my favorites, in music on the contrary.I find Debussy one of the most boring composers.

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Tomita is nice , I like 'Snowflakes are dancing' and 'Bermuda...'
Ravel I like only the 'Bolero', Deussy I don't like, Satie's 'Gymnopedies...' are OK and have some nice transcriptions in jazz(Jacques Loussier), Bartok I can listen to some of his work

Some like Tomita, some don't, to me its similar to 50s-60s exotica, kind of cheesy but in a good way.
My favorite is his album "The Bermuda Triangle", mostly the music of Prokofiev, lots of the old Mellotron on that one.

No, but I just looked into it now, read up a bit on the 'Snowflakes Are Dancing' album and heard a few tracks, it sounds fantastic, familiar yet new etc - really enjoying it, thanks John A famous one |

I like Debussy too, but I like Ravel a little better in that category.
Ever listen to Tomita's versions of that era in music?

Debussy for me, as I'm a sucker for the Impressionists. If he'd been in the list (wrong century perhaps) I'd also have considered the big Rach.
