Schoenberg's pretty distinctive... as well as John Cage... to some people's chagrin. Arvo Part also uses a harmonic style that sticks out over others.

I have an easier time distinguishing the historical period rather than the composer. If I hear a piece on the radio, I can usually pinpoint the period, but usually choke on the name of the composer. There's just too darn many pieces out there!!!!!

I can't believe I forgot to add Varèse to my list!!!

That's it. You're fired.

Aaron Copland should be on this list.

Hey, no one else mentioned him either!

Hovhaness

Scelsi

Schnittke

Janacek

Kancheli (I have a copy of Symphonies 6 and 7 conducted by Kakhidze on Sony HAHAHAHAHAHAH. It's out of print. I know where to get Georgian food in L.A., too.)

At the moment, listening to Rautavaara's Vigilia.
