Your choices plus the Berlin Mass by Arvo Part.
Ping!
Strand me on a desert island with the complete works of J. S. Bach, Frank Sinatra, Pat Metheny, Yes, and Ozric Tentacles and I'm good. ;)
Mozart's requiem is definitely right up there. Beethoven's 6th, The Pastoral is still my favorite.
It's a tossup between Wildwood Flower and Greensleeves. Now you can pull the thread.
"My Girl" lead sung by David Ruffin. Smoky Robinson and Ron White co-wrote it.
It's a perfectly composed and written song.

spelling may suck, but johan pachobell's canon in D major trips my trigger.
"And honey I miss you,
And I'm being good..."
I have sung the Mozart Requiem many times and do not find it's writing to be on a par with other Mozart works such as his operas. Must be because Mozart did not personally write a good part of the Requiem. For info about this see http://www.its.caltech.edu/~tan/Mozartreq/main.html
Pachelbel's Canon in D Major........
Tie.
"Quadrophenia" by The Who

"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."
I hate to tell you this because I'm not really an expert on it, but I have read about the Requiem. It is a great work, but it is very possible that Mozart didn't write all of it.
There are some very un-Mozartians portions of the work.

**There has been many criticisms of Sussmayer's contributions. The main criticism is focused on Sanctus and Benedictus. However, with Agnus Dei, Wolff believes that it "juxtaposes a highly balanced and, in terms of rhetorical intensity, extremely effective four-part vocal setting and a complementary instrumental motif, exactly according to the manner of, for instance, the 'Domine Jesu'." Many speculate that Constanze gave Sussmayer drafts that Mozart had been working on. Some of these may have contained instructions or preliminary vocal ideas for not only Agnus Dei but also Sanctus and Benedictus. (these drafts were mentioned by Constanze in a letter to Stadler in 1827.)
My favorite if still Handel's Messiah.
