Mmm, I like what I've heard of Vivaldi and Chopin... usually listen to the latter while studying. And I like Requiem by Mozart, but I should listen to it more. I have a bunch of Bach and Beethoven, but have no clue where to start. I also hear Stravinsky's worth looking into... I think he was revered both by Frank Zappa and Tom Waits.

To be fair, you have to consider the fact that you just asked a question similar to "I'm thinking of getting into rock music, what do you recommend?"

Classical is such a varied and in some ways nebulous genre that you'll have to really just pick a certain style or composer and throw yourself in and hope you like it.

At least, in my experience.
