Personally, I got into classical music via first ELO, when they rearranged "In the hall of the Mountain King" by Greig on one of their albums, then through Holst's "The planets suite", which you couldn't avoid hearing really, with "Mars" being used for just about every dramatic show or scene possible.
Later I just sort of drifted towards other composers, mostly though compilations --- "The Great Composers", "Guide to Classical Music" and so on --- and so learned to love Liszt, Chopin, Debussy, the three Bs, Mozart, Thcaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and others, but my all time favourite would be Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 --- just love that piece, end to end.
