Here's a name that hasn't come up much:
Shostakovich.
The nature of this thread means I can take a "my opinion is right" stance and say things that even I disagree with if I over-think them, so huzzah! for this thread's creation!
His 8th String Quartet is probably my favourite piece of music. The emotion is very strong, and the way he uses his signature to tie the piece together is amazing. Wherever the piece is heard, it's really hard not to sit still and just listen. From start to finish, it's all emotion. It's incredibly sad in some parts, and bitterly sarcastic in others. Everything an angsty teenager needs!
