Classical music for Rockers

I grew up in a non-musical household, so everything I heard was from the radio when my parents weren't listening. I quickly went from AM to FM, and from Pop to the AOR stations in Milwaukee at the time. I was raised (in a sense) on rock and roll radio.

It wasn't till much later that I was introduced to classical music. I have since been adding Bach, Mozart, Tscaikovski, and other to my regular playlist The last two things I bought were Mozart's Requium and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. I hope I spelled those right.

What I am curious about is if there are others out there with the same experience, and if so: What Classical music are you listening to regularly?

Wow, I'm surprised to get so many responses. Some of the music mentioned does ring a bell. I'm going to have to check into these suggestions. The Wagner titles mentioned above are familiar and are things I should probably be familiar with. When I go to the music shops there is so much classical I don't know where to start or which recordings are good. Your recommendations are very helpful.
If anyone listed a suggestion and know which copy of the recording they have please let me know so I don't have to muddle through inferior copies to find the good stuff.
Albert, beleive it or not, I have thought about getting some Cecilia Bartoli. I have read reviews of her work and have been intrigued by what people said about her.
Keep the idea coming, and I'll try to find some of these recordings in this lonely hamlet!
