			*'''Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No.9, aka the New World Symphony''': If you want a symphony for exploring vast and mysterious uncharted worlds, this is the one right here. Played by Armstrong during the Apollo 11 moon landing, as well as adopted by many other pieces of media (and professional wrestlers).

	*'''Claude Débussy - Prélude to the afternoon of a faun, La Mer, Book of Préludes 1&2+''': If only for the atmosphere. His books of préludes alone are so characterful, they could be turned into settings or characters on their own.\|		*'''Claude Débussy - Prélude to the afternoon of a faun, La Mer, Book of Préludes 1&2+''': If only for the atmosphere.

	*'''Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians, Different Trains''': Minimalist daddy, and the composer you should start with if you're ever willing to try out classical music. Music for 18 musicians is so groovy it's almost hypnotic, with so many layers and instrumental variety that you could really do a deep-dive into it's sound world, yet repetitive enough that you could just have it playing in the background. Different trains is different it that it is a work with a story, one that you could similarly pay attention to, yet still able to be put on in the background.		*'''Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians, Different Trains''': Minimalist daddy, and the composer you should start with if you're ever willing to try out classical music.

	*'''Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart''' - The other super-prolific composer everyone associates with classical music. The funny thing about Mozart is that while certainly best known for his high-class work, he also had a couple of raunchier songs like "Leck mich im Arsch" (Lick my ass) in tribute to the Swabian Salute. Anyways, he composed in a huge variety of genres; religious music, symphonies, but he was particularly interested in operas, which gave him more opportunities to throw in more humor into his music.		*'''Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart''' - The other super-prolific composer everyone associates with classical music.

	*'''Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (at the very least)''': The piece that was so good it caused a riot in the theatre and started the modernist movement in music. Despite how old this music is it's metal as fuck, and we're not just talking about the original ballet's plot.		*'''Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (at the very least)''': The piece that was so good it caused a riot in the theatre and started the modernist movement in music.

			*'''Ludwig von Beethoven''' - You know his name, and you've definitely heard his music before, even if you haven't always been able to identify it. Best known for his Fifth symphony since the first four notes are what everyone thinks of when they think Classical, or maybe you were made to play Für Elise for piano lessons; but if you want some slightly lesser known pieces that are just as dramatic and powerful, the Egmont Overture and Symphony 7's Allegreto are great backing pieces for any drama (the former case explicitly made for it). He's also got plenty of other great compositions each with their own tone and feel, but too many to list here.

	*'''Olivier Messiaen - Turangalîla-symphonie''': A truly gigantic orchestral meditation on love, both on a cosmic and personal scale. Has a uniquely alien sound, especially for an orchestral work, thanks to it's use of the Ondes-Martenot as a solo instrument, as well as the dissonance found in a lot of it's chords and harmonies. Honestly though, when it wants to be, this piece is fucking epic! Give it a chance, please.		*'''Olivier Messiaen - Turangalîla-symphonie''': A truly gigantic orchestral meditation on love, both on a cosmic and personal scale.

	* '''Scott Joplin''': ''the'' quintessential ragtime composer. If you’ve ever watched a silent film or have something set in the early 20th century (or even have something set in a Western saloon) chances are you’ve heard his music. A proper cover should sound ~~nice and bouncy to give it the energy~~ you’d expect from a rowdy saloon as it’s explicitly meant to be something you’d dance to.		* '''Scott Joplin''': ''the'' quintessential ragtime composer.

			*'''The Blues Brothers''': Another fictional band, started by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi of ''Saturday Night Live'' fame over their shared love of Blues music. As a cover band, both the band itself and the movie staring them is a great entry point for the Blues genre (as well as R&B and Soul); the movie in particular is also full of Blues legends like Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, James Brown and Ray Charles. Sam & Dave's ''Soul Man'' is their best known showstopper.

	*'''Townes Van Zandt - Our Mother the Mountain, Townes Van Zandt''': Want proof that country can be poetic and personal and not whiny? This is your guy. Songs and stories about poverty, alcoholism, love, crime, and death, quite a few of them inspired by Townes Van Zandt's own life. While none of this is out of the ordinary for country music, good lyricism and generally good production help to elevate him above other artists, and his tendency to use naturalistic imagery mixed with the fantastical helps make him /tg/ relevant.		*'''Townes Van Zandt - Our Mother the Mountain, Townes Van Zandt''': Want proof that country can be poetic and personal and not whiny?

			*'''Soggy Bottom Boys''' - like the Gorillaz, they’re a fictional band, specifically created as part of the story behind the Coen Brothers film ''O Brother Where Art Thou.'' The songs on their album helped popularize many old Country and Bluegrass tunes, especially ''I am a Man of Constant Sorrow,'' which managed to win a Grammy despite being a hundred-year-old song lifted for a film soundtrack. Since then, the song has been picked up by many other bluegrass artists and there have been many variations since it first came out, but the Soggy Bottom Boys version is the best known version. Some of their other tunes like ''In the Jailhouse Now'' are also real bangers.

	*'''Current 93''': David Tibet's Neofolk spoken-word outfit. Definitely not a band for everyone. Much of the dark and folky tones of the music, on top of David Tibet's surreal and dream-like poetry gives this music something of a psychedelic medieval vibe. A good portion of the imagery here in the words could also be easily appropriated into a DnD game, should the DM wish it.		*'''Current 93''': David Tibet's Neofolk spoken-word outfit.

	*'''Heino''': This isn't so much a recommendation as a warning, because Heino is a fucking meme. ''Blau blüht der Enzian'' is basically the German version of a Rick-roll. The guy was born in '38 and started playing accordion to eat after the war, and then became effectively THE voice of West Germany; at over 50 million albums sold he's the most successful German musician in history, beating the shit out of Rammstein. He's blond to the point of being albino and he [[meme\|wears sunglasses in the dark]]. If you've clicked on a German video in youtube expecting death metal and got ~~accordion~~ folk music instead (probably still WITH the death metal visuals), you've been Heino'ed.		*'''Heino''': This isn't so much a recommendation as a warning, because Heino is a fucking meme.

	*'''Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea''': IT'S A POTATO!!!!! I LOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOU JESUUUUUUUUUUS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!! SEMEN STAINS THE MOUNTAINTOPS!!!!! This album is the rosetta stone that will help you decode /mu/ should you ever feel yourself patrician enough to enter such a [[magical realm]]. Though on the surface it may seem like esoteric hipster trash, give it a few listens, and it soon becomes an incredibly engrossing and heartfelt album that has been known to make grown men cry. Seriously, there is a reason /mu/ goes so crazy over this shit.		*'''Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea''': IT'S A POTATO!!!!!
