People are so opinionated!!!
Anyway, I'll go for the oldies (really) and say that I like Rachmaninoff. His piano rolls are amazing; his playing style was utterly unique and nobody has yet approached his way with the piano.
Then I'll go to a mainstay of piano recorded literature and say that I like Gould's Bach (though I've only really heard his 1981 recording of the Goldberg variations: it left a deep impression on me). I've got to get more of his Bach playing.
