It was on fire when I laid down on it.

I never would have guess you'd list Age of Aquarius....
In the Age of Aquarius ....
You know I actually agree with you that classical is probably one of the few music venues well worth listening to.Always fond of Beethoven, and yes, the 9th symphony (Ode to Joy last movement) is a great one. The Ode is actually a poem by Friedrich Schiller in 1785. But really, all of Beethoven's work brings me happiness (hey, I like his only opera, Fidelio, better than Beethoven did himself!).
Obviously, I'm into classical music more than anything, but among my great favourites are, some are quite modern:
And about 12 million other examples of great music, from the first opera ever (Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell) to Vangelis Papathanassiou (Chariots of Fire). There's no end to what I love to listen to.
- Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo for guitar (1939), truly beautiful
- All of Puccini's operas
- Chanson dans la Nuit (playable only on pedal harp) by Carlos Salzedo (1928), complex and striking
- The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins (1999), especially the Benedictus (I really recommend giving that one a listen on You Tube
)- Gabriel's Oboe from the score to The Mission, by Enrico Morricone (1986)
- At the Lake of Wallenstadt from Les Annees de Pellerinage by Franz Liszt around 1855
- Flower Duet from the opera Lakme by Delibes
- Miserere by Allegri (just wait until you hear the boy soprano Roy Goodman in this recording from the 1960s, King's College Cambridge choir -
)
