Charles Ives' songs are also very accessible, and have been recorded
by many people.

I'm not big on 20th century classical music, but I hope to appreciate
it one day (it does not make sense that sometime after, say 1910,
nobody wrote anything worth listening to...).
Charles Ives is weird, but one piece of his I like very much
is "The Unanswered Question" -- it is a short thematic work on Man's
quest to know things and maybe (or maybe not) find the answers.
It also reminds me of Barber's "Adagio for Strings" (another favorite)
though they are not really similar.
