This has long been my favourite. I never tire of hearing it.
Do you have a favourite piece of classical music?

I've heard it before, didn't know the name for it. The song for this forum would be Twisted Sister's "I'm not going to take anymore" when everyone does their attacks.

I saw that earlier, and chuckled at it.

It changes from time to time.
Right now, Beethoven's third symphony.

Amusingly, when viewed from the main page, the thread title appears as "Do you have a favorite pie..."
I like cherry.
As for classical music, there is a lot that I love. Some of my favorites:
"The Fingal's Cave Overture" by Mendelssohn
"Hall Of The Mountain King" by Grieg (currently listening to a crazy heavy metal version!)
"Dance Macabre" by Saint-Saens
"Ride Of The Valkyries" by Wagner
I have an MP3 of some portion of Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" that I like. It sounds like a prelude, followed by "Montagues and Capulets" followed by some sort of flute fantasy. it's very nice.
I used to like Night on Bald Mountain after I saw Fantasia, but the stupid disco version ruined it for me for all time

There's a lot that I like as well, hard to pick a one-time fave. But as you mention "classical", it would have to be Beethoven Symphony 9.

Ever see The Competition with Amy Irving and Richard Dreyfuss?

Hadn't seen it, wasn't aware of the film... really didn't care for the music at all. Like a Les Claypool bass exhibition: technically amazing, but to little musical effect.
It's overly busy, often discordant, and... just sounds like a jumble of notes to my ears. Musically, it's pretty much the opposite of the ones I listed, which are very melodic and "clean" sounding.
By the way, add "Moonlight Sonata" to my list.

Doesn’t seem to be any Mozart aficionados here; his piano concerto #21 always soothes me. Definitely coconut cream

For me, it's pumpkin pie and "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles.
