Coming from an orchestral point of view, I'd rather play Bach. He basically created modern music theory. And he developed charts and systems for keys, chords and all sorts of crazy musical stickler crap.

But then again, Beethoven was like the first rock star in a sense. Anyone ever seen Immortal Beloved?

Mmm, not really, when it comes to classical its always subjective, but the Notorious M.O.Z. is usually grand king of composition.

I'm a Brahms fan myself, actually.

However, this is the one time where I don't feel I need to back my opinion up. His accomplishments speak for themselves. Beethoven, Mahler, and Tchaikovsky worshipped Mozart and several of their pieces were in tribute to his works. It is said that Mahler died and the last word he said was Mozart. To command that sort of respect and honor from such greats cements my vote.

I would have a hard time deciding between Bach and Mozart though... it would have to come down between the pieces I enjoyed most... Bach is great, but I do love my Wolfgang!

Don't get me wrong, I know how generic the Beatles is as an answer to questions like these, but all bias aside I don't think any band or musician has done what they did. At least not to the same extent.

Not meaning to be an arsehole but I really don't think there is much room for arguement at the end of the day. The Beatles have some flaws, particularly their image, I mean I thought they looked like a bunch of pansy's personally. But image doesn't affect too much in the overall scheme of things.

Lets go for 2nd greatest ever, now theres some competition
your not coming across as an arsehole, i don't mind, as long as we debate something i don't care, just cure my boredom already.
