Thanked: 7I forgot about the 1812 that's a good one, I like Marche Slave a little more though. Also he's got a piano concerto in some key I can't remember that's fantastic. The Nutcracker and Peter and the Wolf are always good choices too. Tchaikovsky is probably my favorite composer actually just edging out Grieg. I love his Peer Gynt, that's a piece that gets me moving. I also forgot about Ride of the Valkyries. The scene in Apocalypse Now nailed that one for me. But overall I'm sticking with the Carmina Burana.

I just read this whole thread through. Such a nice classical music from you gents. Thanks.
Here's one of my favorites. Very popular here as it is always linked to our independence.
Jean Sibelius - Finlandia'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'

Our school band took the state championship back in the 70s with the Overture of 1812. It blew the competition and the judge’s right out of the water. For the cannon fire we used 12 ga shotgun blanks fired into a lined 50 gal drum. The plumbing sprung a leak in the auditorium.
Our Director, Mr. Snodgrass was way ahead of the curve we were playing Rimsky/Korsakov’s Scheherazade 1001 Nights when the competition was playing the theme to Star Wars, which was cool too. Another one of my favorites was Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and Picture’s at an Exhibition “The Great Gate of Kiev”. They make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
My all time fav has to be Toccata and Fugue in D minor by JSB. I was fortunate to see if performed by a friend on the Aeolian Skinner pipe organ with 113 ranks and 6,334 pipes here in Independence MO. Our band never could quite get that one down. Very complex.
Since it was the 70s we also jammed on Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, YES, Dio, Alvin Lee, Frank Marino, Robin Trower, Jethro Tull, and of course Too Huge Nuge, Ted Nugent. etc,etc. Now the kids got Miley Cyrus. When did that happen?

you guys are missing possibly one of the best, Americana at its best. This is possibly the most easily recognizable. Sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it...
YouTube - Fanfare For the Common Man
The other one would be the one they play on beef it is what's for dinner commercial. And I definitely shave to this, (although Jazz is the first choice Bill Evans and Junior Mance)
