There were several in the sequence I didn't agree with either. You never can when try to list the 1-100 best.

Still, I think they got the top 3 absolutely right though.

If you have time, take a listen to this (esp. 4th movement). May be one of the greatest documented musical peformance in history.

Beethoven's 5th 1st movement- Karajan

2nd Movement

3rd Movement

4th Movement

I have listened to B’s 5th since I was 12...worn several LPs out, then tapes, CDs and now, STILL have it on my iTouch. But, I don’t really listen to it much anymore. Not so for the Opus 54 and 57 sonatas (among others) and the C sharp minor quartet: I will NEVER stop listening to those and the rest of his chamber music.
