They're throwing away a huuueg amount of old classical vinyl records here at da collage. Basically, is there anything that would be worth getting? As in, kind of experimental or otherwise enjoyable? Just list names, I guess. If they're well known, I can probably get their entire works. I've already raped the collection of it's "ethnic music" and some experimental jazz records, so at 25 cents a pop I'm wondering if there is anything else worth getting.
air on a g-string by bach
These are some of the ones I think are worth hearing.

^ In addition:
Antonio Vivaldi
Johann Brahms
I also second Chopin because he's ****ing awesome.
Gustav Holst, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Richard Wagner.
Pretty much anything really, you can't go wrong with their well-known records at least. Especially for 25 cents apiece.
I don't see any Saint-Saens in this thread..
So... you guys have pretty much listed all the well-known composers. I GUESS THAT MEANS I SHOULD GET THEM ALL
And yeah, they've got huge portfolios of composer's complete works that are going for half a dollar. The other day a I got Music of Isreal (fukken awesome), Now Make We Merthe (medieval carols), and a phat stack of Gregorian hymns for like 2 bucks. Not being able to rely on my computer for music has it's advantages!
If you find The Final Countdown by Europe or Revolutionary Etude by Chopin, I'll pay you big bucks for them.
if they have the soundstrack for A Clockwork Orange, get it. do not hesitate. Kill for it if need be.
I ended up getting the TIME LIFE COLLECTIONS for ~5 composers, and a few other records here and there. No luck finding anything you guys /r/'d or specifically suggested. : / So far I've only listened to Bart
In other news, this is the kind of stuff I hear played at the radio station I volunteer at now:
Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Asobi Seksu, Katamari soundtrack, some kid playing Mario 64 in the booth, Celtic Frost, Nurse With Wound, a bunch of people playing noisemakers in the booth, Merzbow, Boards of Canada, Richard Cheese, etc. etc.
Dude, your radio station rules!
Anyone that plays V Snares+Celtic Frost+ Merzbow is OK with me!
Too bad nobody has the balls to play anything good around here.
Get your own radio station then.
You mean an online one or a real one?
An online one is doable.
Whichever, just do it.
I frequently listen to Yo-Yo Ma. *shrugs*
So, Slade, no Wagner? Too bad. Metal and him have a lot in common.
