I have redneck taste in classical music, the soundtracks to Conan and the Gary Oldman Dracula movie, Mussorgsky... I find the classical section in record stores a little overwhelming.

I've been playing piano since I was about 8, though some people here would call that into question Still, that's the only instrument I play. I tried to learn guitar, and bought an electric one at one point, but didn't get far and gave up in frustration. I'm too self conscious to sing, I think.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.
Wagner, Beethoven and the Conan soundtrack(and the movie, its actually more important then the soundtrack) is ALL you need.
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
Just don't know much about classical music so I thought seeing as I'd heard and listen to him alongside my soundtracks it was like recommending Busted as a contemporary masterpiece.
For once I agree with subhuman. Have you heard his "String Sextet in D minor"? If you like Tchaikovsky, then make sure you hear that piece. Also his "Symphony #4" in particular is fantastic. The third movement is entirely pizzicato, meaning the string players pluck their instruments throughout the whole movement. And of course the popularity of his ballet works speaks for itself.
