I am re-posting this here because I accidentally put it in the intros. Oops.
So what do you think is the single greatest piece of music ever written? It need not be any particular genre. However, if you say it's any form of country-western, you're just wrong.
My vote is for the fourth movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony (Ode to Joy).
However, "Angel Falls" by Ayla is also up there. Not even close to the 9th, of course. Nothing ever could be. But it's up on the list.

I'd have to go for Bach's violin concerto in E major.
listen to it sometime, you might like it!
I had a dream that my friend had a
strong-bad pop up book,

There's no rule against agreeing with someone else, you know (especially if it's me!
