The Most Awesome Piece Of Music Writing ever?

Anything by the Cheeky Girls.

Or failing that, John Williams' Duel Of The Fates from Episode 1. An incredible piece of music, way too good to 'waste' on a film score:

Or possibly Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries:

Or maybe even O Fortna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff:

The Magic Flute is great, but prefer his Marriage of Figaro, especially Sull’ Aria - beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLtqZewjwgA

Saying that Metallica’s Unforgiven 11 is brill too [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Totally agree with sf and nelly on metallica's s&m, absolutely awesome especially through surround sound :p

And smelly..your choice is inspired! Who knew you had such refined musical taste? :p

M fav is either, "If you tolerate this your children will be next" - Manic Street Preachers or "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" (parts 1-7) - Pink Floyd.

Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells

Anything by Pink Floyd. There's not a single second of their music that's wrong for me - how many bands can you credit with that?

Ha...technically that's not really music, more of an indulgent experiment (which i don't think they even thought that much of with hindsight!!! Certainly built up their catalogue of 'strange noises' though)

Some of the early stuff's a bit hit n' miss but i guess you'd just have to have been in the room to benefit from that and more than likely have been on what Syd was up too ;)

For me i jumped on the band wagon with the Wall when i was 12.....and that's where it all started, records, books, video, still have a craving for all that is Floyd and there's just not enough out there to satisfy it. Managed to get a personal message to Nick Mason last year who then very kindly signed my book.

To choose a particular favourite track would just be impossible and so dependant on my mood and NEEEED :)

I concur Mr Fawlty... :)
