Most underrated composer of 20th Century?

Thanks for chiming in on that bit of critical "flat earth thinking" regarding Stravinsky Learsfool. To suggest Stravinsky lacks a place among the highest echelon of composers leaves me flabbergasted. Send me to the proverbial desert island, give me daily does of Bach and Stravinsky, and I would suffer little.

I don't know how much thinking has to do with it, seems to me its like women, you like what you like and thats an end to it.

Shubert,

I'll toss this one up to dispute the proposition that no rock musician/composer can be a genius.

Ammonia Avenue.

Shows that take the rock/pop veneer off of certain compositions and perhaps even many of the great classical composers over the years might be proud, especially when crosses over into progressive/art rock territory.

I did THINK that anyone would know I was referring only to Classical.
Those not alive and of the age of reason before rock arose have no idea of the great harm rock has done to society.
And thats not just the sour-grapes of an old man.

"Those not alive and of the age of reason before rock arose have no idea of the great harm rock has done to society."

I have to wonder about rock music as a cause of great harm as opposed to being part of the reaction to great harm. Great harm certainly existed in spades prior to rock music. The major World Wars and all that came after those are just the most recent and better known examples.
