I like serial music. True, there is some serial music which I cannot stand - and the Boulez Sonatas are at the top of the list. But I have found 20th Century music embraces a wide variety of styles and I have found over the years serial music which is enjoyable to listen to. There are also pieces from the Baroque Era, Classical era and Romantic and Late-romantic era which I also can't stand to listen to but I know there is plenty to like and enjoy and I concentrate on that. As for recommendations, Steve Schwartz has a list which is a good start. My own personal favorite is the 1st symphony of Jonas Kokkanen with it;s wonderful chorale last movemont - derived from the tone row which supports the piece.
