As a teen a music appreciation class (they still have those?) intro'd me to Claude Debussy, who I listened to for years, and other Impressionists. I liked his not quite as well known works like La Mer and Maid with the Flaxen Hair. Then I learned how his wife shot herself when he abandoned her to take up with another man's wife, who was pregnant with Debussy's bastard child. I could never listen to him after that and ditched all CDs of him. To this day I can't hear his music without thinking what an utter scumbag he was.
