Classical music, everyone should be made to listen to it. If not to open their eyes to it, but to really get an appreciation for it. It's one of those things that can calm you down or evoke emotions in you that you may not have known existed.
Classical music for me is a complete stress reliever and also an inspiration. My father was the first person to expose me to classical music and though I love the tradional pieces by Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. It has been Debussy and Vaughn Williams that really touch my heart. Each piece makes me so happy and calms me down on the most frustrating of days. There are times when the music makes me feel more passionate and that is the feeling that I love the most.
I've even made a playlist for pieces that collectively inspire me to want to write. Made mainly up of Debussy. Some pieces I'd never even heard of before, what I ended up doing is taking a small sampling from a collection that I had of the first moments of the song and based on whether I liked the sound of it or not, would determine if it would go on my list. It's resulted in 17 of the most interesting pieces that I have personally ever heard.
To go with my mood here is a little Zach pic...
