It’s good no doubt and fitting for our times and we’ll done- But greatest song ever written I’d Copperhead road as preformed by Steve Earle. Everyone knows that . Carry on
Got a bit of competition.
I was always partial to Jeff's version of this.
"Love is not a victory march, its a cold and broken Hallelujah." Leonard Cohen

Please consider this as the penultimate song of all time…
Probably five of the top 10 greatest pieces of music were written by Beethoven. #9 usually gets the nod. Too bad he never got to hear it.
JS Bach got a few in there as well.

For sure. Brandenburg No. 5 is an amazing piece of music.
I just hate the harpsichord with a passion. Every time I see or hear one I want to park it against a berm and mag dump the crap out of it.
It sounds like it belongs in a 1980's video game, not a concert hall.
Just listen to that friggin' thing in the background... it's like someone's playing the original Nintendo with the volume blaring in the middle of a concert.
Wagner…… just sayin…ride of the Valkyries…
Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture is up there as well. Yes I know it's celebrating something Russian and not the war of 1812 but it's still amazing. Cannon shots need done right though. Lame otherwise.
Wait, since we're talking "Classical" music (say pre-1850) how the hell are you guys missing Vivalid's "The Four Seasons?"
That said, I prefer Brandenburg Concerto #3 to #5.
ps...listen to Rick Beato's interview with Sting. Sting, who I'm not a huge fan of, said there ONE guy that did it all - J.S. Bach. That every time you listen it's never dull and you never know what to expect. He apparently listens to (new?) pieces daily.

That damn harpsichord again!….
On a more serious note, there are some killer American composers as well over the last 100 years. Barbers adagio should be top 10 ever.
Get the TelArc digital recording but watch the volume, it will blow your speakers in a heartbeat.
I'd hit the blonde but the nose on the other one is a turn off.

Both of my WWII veteran grandpa's favorites (RIP) both were sung by my younger sister at his service, and I had the honor of being a pallbearer while in my full service dress just as he would have wanted.
love any song with David Allen Coe or johnny Cash in it but like this one just a little more
I've got that CD somewhere...yes, you have to really turn it down because it's truly full frequency. Impressive as hell.
You can whine all day about SRV, EVH, Satriani, Santana, Clapton (et al) but not one of them could make a guitar cry and sing like this man.
The lost guitarist from Thin Lizzy that was so much better solo. Probably the best live recording of a guitar ever.
No, I'm not stuck on Rock.....anything to not hear classical drivel that's been around hundreds of years and bastardized by anyone with keyboard.
You choose.
