Beethoven's 5th (no WH list would be complete w/o it!) 2. William Tell Overture - Rossini 3. Toccata & Fugue in D minor - Bach (thanx, Scary Movies) 4. Thus Spake Zarathustra (thanx, 2001) 5. Piano Concerto in A minor ("Norwegian") - Grieg 6. Beethoven's 9th 7. Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner (thanx, Apocalyse Now) 8. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven 9. Piano Concerto #1 - Tchaikowsky 10. On a Theme by Paganini - Rachmaninoff I also had Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and some Gregorian chants in mind, but a) they wouldn't fit in the "Top Ten" and b) they wouldn't "fit" in the "Top Ten"... I look forward to the results of this survey!
