So who are they? Do you listen to classical music?
My favorites are:
-Saint-Saens
-Bach
-Telemann
-Brahms
-Vivaldi
Close 2nds are Dvorak, Widor and Albinoni. I'm really not a fan of the ever popular Mozart and Beethoven. Even though they both have some really great stuff that I could listen to every day, in general I tend to stay away from everything else they made.
I prefer Chopin and Brahms
Beethoven all the way. One of my life goals is to be able to play all of his Sonatas.
Seeing his Emperor Concerto performed on the 30th of this month. The 2nd movement is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Partial to Bach and Frans Lischt.
My favorite is clearly this oneQuote:

Wagner was more an operatic than a composer, but who can say they don't enjoy Ride of the Valkyries? Some of his pieces are amazingly emotional and enjoyable.
I can't say I have a favorite composer, but I do have a favorite piece:
