hmm. If I had to pick a favorite composer...
*holds head, spins in circles, charges up the stairs to his room, has spontaneous tantrum, pulls out hair, destroys everything, runs back downstairs, destroys everything there, crying all the while*
Stephen Shwartz, NO! Gerswin, NO! Frank Wildhorn, NO! Beethoven!
GAHH! I don't have one. I like too many of them!

*holds head, spins in circles, charges up the stairs to his room, has spontaneous tantrum, pulls out hair, destroys everything, runs back downstairs, destroys everything there, crying all the while*

Impossible to pick just one. However I can pick favorites out of categories.

Favorite : Baroque Composer - Pachabel (Canon in D = fav. baroque piece)
Classical Composer - Beethoven (challenged music with more emotion)
Romantic Composer - Chopin/Liszt (sorry, but it's a tie)
Impressionistic Composer - Debussy
Modern Composer - Rachmaninov(ff)
Film Composer - John Williams
Modern Pop Composer/Artist - Rebecca St. James

Rachmaninov isn't really modern.

Rachmaninov was a Romantic who lived in the Modern era, so I guess he could be considered both Romantic and Modern.

Either Romern or Modantic. ^^

Does she compose? I didn't know that.

Anyway, my favorite would be Claude Debussy

He's good! I like all of his piano works (for the most part) .

Funny, I'm actually learning his Sunken Cathedral (or whatever it is in french). I like a lot of his works, and he has influenced some of my orchestral style, too.
