Indeed! No list for me, most of the ones I like get covered by other posters pretty quickly. I really wouldn't put Lou Reed in a list of modern composers, not just because he isn't, but also because Metal Machine Music is not a 'composed piece of music', and certainly not enough to gain the 'composer' in question such a tag. I love it and all, but John Cale (a trained composer) said that to make something like that you just have to listen to shortwave radio out of tune and record the results onto tape. He might have been bitching, but there is some truth in there. Oh, I forgot to mention how much I love Luciano Berio's music.
