If you count classic rock, then yes....

You can just search on "Svalbard Theme" in the YouTube search engine. The entry posted on YouTube by torgeirp is my favorite version.

I'm studying it at a postgraduate level, so it would be a bit of a problem if I disliked it. My tastes range across roughly 8 centuries, so I'm not even going to attempt to list what I like. Bach (Johann Sebastian) and Mozart are two composers who I always enjoy listening to. At the moment I'm listening to some Giovanni Gabrielli, then going to listen to some Ligeti, Feldman and Stravinsky.

Indeed, while I don't really listen to anyone in particular, my radio's almost constantly on the local classical music station.

I like some classical music. I think my favorite composer would be Tchaikovsky.

I prefer rock n roll, but I do listen to the odd piece, every now, and again.

Anything before about 1850 isn't really interesting to me, but I love a lot of the 20th century classical that I've heard. I need to listen to more.

Some of the better ones of those I have heard -

John Cage
Charles Ives
Harry Partch
Igor Stravinsky
Tōru Takemitsu
Edgard Varèse
Frank Zappa
John Zorn

Can't say I'm a big fan, but I enjoy these songs which have a classical feel from MUSE.

I do like some classical. The songs dance macabre and the aquarium by camille saint-saens are my personal favourites at the moment.
I also like modern classical composers like philip glass.

Also used to play oboe. Big fan of Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach.

I do like some classical music. I tend to fade out with anything after Holst ('ceptin the Firebird suite), Mozart is pretty good, Bach, Beethoven, Tshaikovsky, and lots of other names I can't spell...
I blame the Nice, and EL&P...

On occasion music of that genre drives a measure of uncertainity in others while it brings the insightful to blend in with the tolerant.
