Bold names indicate that the band is one of my most favorite or most influential groups.
As of December 26th, 2004, I increased the number of bold-type names in an effort to panegyrize certain bands and artists for which I feel a certain association. For example, I feel that because I live in the Carolinas that I am apt to praise bands whom it seems I was there as they began their musical careers. Bands like Stretch Armstrong and Zao who would be found frequenting the VFW in N. Charleston or the Clubhouse in W. Ashley as well as North Carolina legends Prayer for Cleansing and From Here On. Both are, in my opinion, two underrated bands who allowed me to appreciate the style that came out of the state to the north of me.
It is likely that I will update this list again when I'm bored, possibly differentiating the list with different type-face.

Classical, Opera, & Composers:

Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, DeBussy, Dvorak, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Monteverdi, Mozart, Orff, Rachmaninov, Roussini, Schoenberg, Schubert, Schumann, Stravinsky, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Wagner

I'm not familiar with all the work of all the composers I listed, but I love talking to people about classical music. It is such an overlooked genre of music.
