More modern composers would be cool too, I've been getting into Philip Glass, but I want more and more!
Just a thought, I don't get bored easily, but if a song doesn't leave me wondering what it's about, I might not enjoy it, so very mentally stimulating music, if that helps at all.

Thanks a biscuit
A completely different direction than the other suggestions, but try some of the pieces by Juan del Encina for some stimulating Renaissance music.

Marin Marais too. The viola da gamba is just perfect.

And yes, I'm a total Savall bitch.
