When I was a kid, Beethoven was composing just down the street. The finest music ever written is his "Ode to Joy."
Later, I have been a fan of folk music - Burl Ives, Pete Seeger,and the Weavers. They have provided a lot of inspiration for more recent composers.
The Beatles are pretty good , as well.
Oops! Typo.....That should be "composTing, not composing"
