Done. There's so much more out there, but you can't get more intense than oppressed Russian (genius) artists.

well... I'll add a few more... Radiohead's "Ok Computer"... Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" ("Rite of Spring")... Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" double album.... Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"...

YOU.
...I... I LOVE YOU!!!
I friggin' discovered Shostakovich through that recording (Vengerov)... I was a huge Prokie fan, but then... oh baby. I'm actually married to Shostakovich on facebook, 'cause I'm cool like that.
Funny, my dad (an ENTP) is a big fan of the Russians as well. I wonder if it's an Ne thing...
