It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Naming top two (or one) is immensely more difficult for me

Both Bach and Beethoven are contenders, but I think so is Mozart, although for different reasons.

Strictly my opinion of course but:

Bach was the master of form - who else could write such masterfully created fugues, contrapunctuses (contrapuncti??), partitas, etc. with such mathematical precision AND musicality?

Beethoven speaks to my soul - he can wring out more of my emotion than any other composer. Who else could write entire symphonies based on a 4 note motif? combine forceful and gut wrenching dissonance, cosmic majesty, with achingly beautiful melodies and harmonies? I listened to the 9th Symphony last night and cried during the 3rd and 4th movements. No other composer brings that depth of emotion to me.

Mozart - such grace, with every note perfect, seemingly pouring out just as required. Sheer perfection.
