It looks like most of the recommendations here are from the Romantic era (especially if you count Ludwig van on the leading edge). To me, good rock is minimalist rock, and I tend toward Baroque and Classical (with Beethoven on the trailing edge). Does anything rock like Bach organ works?
Classical music for Rockers
I grew up in a non-musical household, so everything I heard was from the radio when my parents weren't listening. I quickly went from AM to FM, and from Pop to the AOR stations in Milwaukee at the time. I was raised (in a sense) on rock and roll radio.
It wasn't till much later that I was introduced to classical music. I have since been adding Bach, Mozart, Tscaikovski, and other to my regular playlist The last two things I bought were Mozart's Requium and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I hope I spelled those right.
What I am curious about is if there are others out there with the same experience, and if so: What Classical music are you listening to regularly?
