Somehow, Puccini always seemed to be nineteenth century opera, notwithstanding the actual dates. Agree with Janacek; two of his operas, Katya and Jenufa seem superior to Wozzeck to me.
For me, it gripped me right at the start, it's so intense, it's all about acting and inventive music. It's disturbing, haunting, and it's so mad I only could love it.

Hated this opera for the longest time. Then some how it starts to get to you. It's probably the best opera of the twentieth century.

Yes, wozzeck is the best opera after Puccini's, Strauss' and Janacek's works

Strauss, on the other hand, bores me to no end.

@P1B1U1H1 It's not casual listening for me, but I think it's very interesting. The music is quite mad.

Glaring omission, indeed. Fixed.
