There are others I've inevitably forgotten.

Well, I did mention Xenakis actually. My list is just personal favorites, there are plenty of other who are arguably more historically significant than some of the ones I listed. Particularly as I'm biased towards electronic and experimental/avant garde and less toward neo-classicism, though there's some incredibly great music to come out of both. Schoenberg (and I'm not claiming he's neo-classic at all since he invented the twelve tone scale!), while not somebody I've listened to as much personally, certainly is a majorly important influence on
all of music to come afterward. Even those who rejected his innovations still had to react to them.
