Top 10 composers since the late Baroque

Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times is compiling a list of the ten greatest composers since the late Baroque era. His first definite choice is J.S. Bach. However, the article in the series he's writing on the topic that caught my eye today is the one on 20th Century composers. He says two will definitely make his list: Debussy and Stravinsky. Two others are maybes: Britten and Bartok. He gives his reasons, and they are interesting. He ends with a question: "So whom are we missing? Any votes for Shostakovich? Prokofiev? Messiaen? Ligeti?"

Thought this might be of interest to at least a few of you. Meanwhile, I need to listen to more Stravinsky, and I never did get a copy of Britten's opera, The Turn of the Screw. His A Midsummer Night's Dream was one of my great musical discoveries last year.
