Well so far not too many have posted much Alternative music and no one has posted any Classical music  

Some Good Classical Composers (ill include Soundtrack composers in this area) I listen to are...
Holst
Shostacovich (This guy is very contempary in a Classical sense for Classical music and I would reccomend his music if you normaly dont like Classical music)
Tchicovski (dont trust my spelling on that one )
Hans Zimmer
Howard Shore
John Williams (I only like his stuff that was made post Indy Jones for some reason...)
Baroqee (This guy is either a style or a person not sure... but this kind of music is great)
Bach
Beethoven (I only like his Symphonies though )
Prokofiev
Balakirev
Lots of other classic dudes are out there

Alt. Rock/Alternative Has loads of people that are good some of my faves are...
Foo Fighters
Cake
Barcelona (The Newer band)
Barcelona (The Old Band)(Has some funky songs but the ones that are good stick in your head)
The Killers
Coldplay
Weezer

If you are looking to get crazy look up the band The Ink Spots  

Im not a fan for Mozart thats why I didnt list him.

THEOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are epic. Nuff said. Check their 22 min song Mirror of Souls. Great Christian lyics also

guessing that Theocracy is a bit heavy for him? Power Metal? as are the nu-metal bands that sauce mentioned... probably.

and once you do get into the harder stuff and rap, which you will, cuz everything else becomes dull listen to TFK, Skillet, Underoath, Showbread, August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, Demon Hunter, Flyleaf, The Letter Black, Disciple and Children 18:3... the list goes on. when you're in the in between stage, A Day to Remember is Punk/Heavy Metal. epic or fail, I still can't decide.

well they are metal, they dont scream and you can understand what they say and they have really positive christian lyrics. deff a look for any music luver xD

And Shostakovich is spelled with a 'k.' This year our marching band show was his tenth symphony. When we went to competitions, a lot of the announcers couldn't even pronounce his name. Look him up on wikipedia. Quite interesting.

Woops yeah I did that post really fast and I wasnt checking the spelling on names. But yeah I really like Shostakovich his music is vary deep and varied compared to much of the other music being composed at that time period. Have you ever heard his 11th Symphony? You should listen to it its good stuff
