Everything by Zappa. I discovered him this month, and he's quickly become my all-time favorite rock musician, and one of my favorite composers in any style. Today I listened through The Yellow Shark and Grand Wazoo, and "G-spot Tornado" more times than was probably healthy. Other biggies for me are Stephin Merritt, Sufjan Stevens, Bach, and Charles-Valentin Alkan, who's the best pianist nobody's ever heard of. (I listen to the Jack Gibbons recordings of him, for the record.)
