If you were a fan of Flash Gordon serials, get Liszt's Les Preludes. Also, you'll enjoy Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exposition and Night on Bald Mountain. There are few things as enjoyable as the French Impressionists -- Debussy's Clair de Lune (and all of his piano music) plus La Mer....Ravel's Bolero and Satie's Gymnopédies. Want stirring with a bit of dissonance...Stravinsky's Firebird Suite (don't get the Stravinsky conducted version...it's very sterile). Love Americana - Copland's Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid and Rodeo, also his Fanfare for the Common Man. THAT'LL KEEP YOU BUSY!
