Funny You should say that. That's immediately what I started doing when I started reading this thread. Haven't finished yet, so if anyone else has done it, I didn't see. When I wake up in the morning I will tally results. There are some clear favorites. Oh, well I guess that is the end. I love excel, so I'll do averages and totals based on composers, but here are the winners to date: At ten votes: Beethoven 7 Beethoven 9 Dvorak 9 At nine votes: Beethoven 5 Mahler 5 Mahler 6 8 votes: Tchaikovsky 6 7 Votes: Mozart 40 6 Votes: Mozart 41 Beethoven 3 Sibelius 2 Sibelius 7 Mahler 8 Prokofiev 5 5 votes: Tchaikovsky 4 Messiaen Turangalila Webern Symphony Brahms 3 Bruckner 9 Mahler 2 Mahler came in first place with 43 total votes, Beethoven in second with 41, Tchaikovsky third with 22, and Mozart and Sibelius tied for 19 total votes.

Me too! I'd love to read your works. I used to be a section editor for my college paper, btw. If you ever want something to be edited through, I'd be glad to do it.

Dude, you're a writer? I finished writing the rough draft of a novel myself, which took...you know...two years...for just the rough draft... ... You should link me some of your work so I can pick up a copy.

Novels? Novel--sssssss? Whoa! You threw out your TV ten years ago and never looked back, right? (:

Something garbage truck worthy, but Tekla and Elise are hard contenders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8G45uCa0Ic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhMMVhYP3rc I also want one of those power ranger outfits to wear when I take out my trash :P

There should be a spreadsheet for this thread so we can see who is coming up tops. Who will win the ULTIMATE SYMPHONY SHOWDOWN...!!!? Who needs to procrastinate and tally up what we've got so far?

1. Rachmaninoff - Symphony No.2 2. Prokofiev - Symphony No.5 3. Mahler - Symphony No.1 4. Alkan - Symphony for solo piano 5. Dvorak - Symphony No.9 Not really in order of favorites
