Dang, that computer's a survivor.  We should put you in a commercial or something.

  • Pachelbel is probably the biggest one that comes to mind. Everyone knows his Canon in D, but could you name anything else?
  • Carl Orff is basically only known for his Carmina Burana, and that in particular is largely only known (among non classical music fans) for the "O Fortuna" which starts and ends it.
  • You probably know Paul Dukas' Sorcerer's Apprentice
    Sorcerer's Apprentice, in part because of Disney's Fantasia sketch of the same name.
  • To a lesser extent, Boccherini is mostly known for his Minuet, though this is less true among classical fans.
  • For something a bit more modern, mostly people only know Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
  • To a far lesser extent than any of the above, but still somewhat true, especially for people with only a very casual interest in classical music, unless you happen to be a fan of wind bands, you may only know Gustav Holst's The Planets.

I had never heard the term "wind band" before.  I gather it's a band with no stringed instruments....

My kids' marching band's fall show for competition, features Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.  And, not a single stringed instrument in the entire ensemble...

My HS randomly had a large and random collection of people that wore Pro-Pain shirts, spanning all social circles. Not only did they not have any hits, they weren't even all that big by heavy metal standards; just one of many discount Pantera knock offs that were around at the time. My theory is that they must have opened for Pantera, who would have drawn more than just the usual concert goers, so it would have been the "first show" for many of them.
