11. Ludwig Van Beethoven9th Symphony

I discovered this via Wendy Carlos and it was her version in A Clockwork Orange that just woke me up to that sort of music ever since. It’s just the most amazing song. This is the one perfect pop song and a brilliant piece of music. This is probably my no.1 pop song of all-time as far as I’m concerned.
