What Is the Greatest Musical Work of All Time?

I was sitting here tonight listening to Mozart's Requiem and I got to thinking: what do I consider to be the best work of music ever? For my part, Mozart's work really does the trick for me when I need to be re-energized. Therefore, I believe that his Requiem is the greatest work of all time. There just isn't another work that is as powerful and passionate. When the chorus sings the final "Amen" at the end of "Lacrimosa" I get the feeling that he knew it was the last thing he would ever write. It gives me chills at times.
Other favorites are:
Handel's Messiah
The 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky

Throw in a little Sinatra for spice, maybe a little Miles Davis, John Williams, Howard Shore...

I think it's a toss-up among these three: George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning," "Layla" by Derek & the Dominos, and Bach's Italian Concerto for Harpsichord.
Is that an eclectic music taste, or what? LOL.
