It's more that I took a music history class in college, actually. ;) I usually listen to the folky, indie stuff I put in my music recs.
I can't think of any Shostakovitch off the top of my head, but I like the Russian composers in general (Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet is great). If you like the Gregorians/medieval chant, you might be interested in Renaissance polyphony. Orlando di Lasso is my favorite composer of the many out there, and William Byrd is great as well.
Yeah, I think I'll skip the Craigslist hunting. ;)
