Vangelis
Vangelis has a thick thick beard. But apart from that, he is a cool guy from Greece. His full name is Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou. Hard to pronounce, eh?
The song from him that I remember the most is the World Cup 2002 anthem. It has 3 versions: one original orchestral theme, one modified anthem, and one synthesized anthem.
I am into music-composing too and I have composed several tracks for Aevarrian Coliseum 2 and my upcoming strategy game... Let's just say Vangelis is my inspiration.
There is more info on him at Wikipedia, even with his photo.
