Johann Sebastian Bach is hands down the greatest musician to have ever lived.

[Neco Arc]

beethoven probably... mozart and bach... dont really know the name of composers but music like "flight of a bumblebee" is pretty awesome...

Johann Sebastian Bach is hands down the greatest musician to have ever lived.

Never saw that one coming.

As for composers...I really couldn't decide. BeefOven is an undisputed genius. Mozart is over-rated. Now I think on it I'm inclined to agree with Bach actually. Yes, Bach it is.

[Rusty]

Nobuo Uematsu. Because other than that, I do not pay any attention to composers at all.

[jrgen]

Tobias Hahn, Asis Nasseri, Michael Haas and Alexander Kaschte.

[Destai]

Nobuo Uematsa (and Yasunori Mitsuda before anyone else says it) are waay overrated while theyre both very good.

My personal favourites Yuki Kajiura.

[Project G]

Ville Valo, he's a composer

[Nod]

beethoven probably... mozart and bach... dont really know the name of composers but music like "flight of a bumblebee" is pretty awesome...

Rachmaninov was the guy who composed flight of the bumble bee i think......

Rachmaninov is one of my favourite composers. Clementi wrote some ok stuff too, and Wagner, although an arrogant git, wrote some great music.

EDIT:
Mozart is over-rated WHAT!!?? I disagree, Mozart wrote some truly stupendous pieces of music. Unfortunately, Mozart is so well-known that it can almost be seen as passe to say that your favourite composer is Mozart, which is a shame.

mine are...
Nobuo Uematsu (FF obviously!)
and Yuki Kajiura! (.hack//SIGN!) :)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

As a note, Yoko Kanno, Yuki Kajiura, Yasunori Mitsuda, and Nobuo Uematsu are all very, very good.

That being said I'm probably going with Tchaikovsky in this.

[Jebus]

Bach is indeed ridiculously talented and brilliant.

Although I do like Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov for their grandiose styles.

<3 Baroque music. (And Classical I guess for the Russian guys.)

[Sare]

Eric Satie is one of my favourites. He was a very peculiar man indeed.

[jrgen]

Rimsky-Korsakov for their grandiose styles.
I'll have to agree with this.

I also really dislike Tchaikovsky.

[KoShiatar]

I recently fell in love with Beethoven. And for non-classical music, Trent Reznor.

[nik0tine]

Never saw that one coming.:p

[Aurey]

Simon Jeffes, Yann Tiersen, Sandro Perri.

[Slothy]

Composer.... bah, the only composer I really pay any attention to is Uematsu, so I'll go with him. My favorite musician though, hmm.... either Danny Carey or Terry Bozzio. I'd probably give it to Bozzio for being one of the craziest and most unique guys to ever sit behind a drum kit.

[Loony BoB]

Brahms, purely for Lullaby.

Otherwise I'll say Gabriel Yared, because the simple, quiet background type of music suits me more than most stuff.

Add to that John Williams, Harry Gregson-Williams, Taku Iwasaki.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I also really dislike Tchaikovsky.

You make me sad.

Bach, as others mentioned, is also quite good, as is Beethoven and Handel.

For more modern (i.e. living) composers, Richard Einhorn is also really good.

[Croyles]

JS Bach, Mozart, Dvořák.

You should listen to the String Quartet No. 12 in F Major (The American) composed by Antonin Dvořák.
