I have the final results and we should be able to start tomorrow. I'm thinking of going through 10 pieces per day out of the top 100. To warm you up, here are Pierre Boulez's top 10 pieces of the 20th century: http://www.wnyc.org/story/10-great-works-20th-century-pierre-boulezs-90th-birthday/

This Boulez quote stuck out at me:

I don’t want to criticize my century, but the process of absorbing what is composed during this century is a very slow process, much too slow for me.

And I just listened to Ginastera's second cello concerto for the first time: wow!

Just put this on, never having knowingly listened to Ginastera before. Very cool. Not surprising that Piazzolla studied with him.
