I love the 8th and 7th they are at the top of my list!!

Where's the love for the 4th? I think it's really sexy, with the exception of that awful second movement.

Beethoven was perfect, never put a note wrong, ask the fanatics here!

Beethoven was terrible, his violin scoring is clumsy, and he doesn't prepare his modulations.
Ask the resident Beethoven musicology expert.

Not everything Beethoven wrote was gold, but the last thing you should *really* lambast in his catalog are his symphonies. Of course when it all boils down, this is just dumb internet banter and everyone knows that no one on the internet knows their head from their ass, me included
