Stravinsky and Debussy are great. As for Philip Glass, I dig some of his stuff from time to time. But one problem with his stuff in my eyes (at least, his stuff from Glassworks and the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack) is that it's all repetition and no buildup/climax. Meaning, I don't dig his progressions throughout his compositions. His use of interesting/changing textures is cool though.
Wouldja look at all these recommendations.. Thanks guys. I'm gonna check them all out eventually, though it may take some time. I guess I'll even check out the punk-rock band scotch recommended, but that one's a little iffy, as I've never heard a punk-rock song that I liked.
