Anyone who's ever done Muppet, Fraggle, and Sesame music is a-okay on my list. I also love the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth scores, wish I could remember the name of the guy who composed those because they are beautiful. I'm also a big fan of the standard names in classical, Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, etc. Enya is also one of my favorites. And finally I really enjoy the works of composer Nobuo Uematsu, even though I don't play Final Fantasy his music is breathtaking. :sing:
