Since the 1970s things have gone downhill - compare the composers we have now to 100 years ago! 'nuff said - very depressing - worst period ever in classical music in the Western world! Serialism started the rot..........

If by modern we're talking 20th century music, then (in vaguely chronological order) these are a lot of the musicians whom I greatly respect:
- Aleksandyr Scriabin ()
- Rachmaninoff
- Shostakovich
- Django Rheinhardt
- G.I. Gurdjieff/Thomas de Hartmann
- Miles Davis
- John Coltrane
- Brian Wilson
- The Beatles
- Talking Heads/David Byrne
- Fugazi
- Autechre
- Aphex Twin
- Radiohead
There are a lot of other artists and bands, of course, but all these people achieved something great in compositional terms.
