Well, if The Planets float your boat...
Stravinsky-Rite of Spring (Sacre du Printemps)
	  -Firebird
	  -Petrushka
tends toward the bombastic and catchy.  You'll probably recognize 
much of it (esp. Rite)
Other than that, you can find all kinds of budget priced (<$10)
releases of greatest hits type stuff at a store whose name I will 
not mention (BB).  Not that you should buy anything there, but 
just figure out some of the more popular works, and take your 
list on over to one of your friendly neighborhood used stores.
(Nice Price in Durham has the largest classical selection, but 
they are towards the back, and easy to miss)
