About Mozart being boring, maybe Falco's song is not a tribute but a complaint, "C'mon, Amadeus, rock me already!!"
I have lots of classical music memories from my childhood. "Bolero"....that piece hit me smack in the face when I was watching the Olympics in 1984 in my mom's bedroom on an old black and white TV, and the music really made it a stirring moment to watch that Torvell and Dean moment in time, live on tape delay.... Baroque music reminds me of one thing: the smell of paint. In 1985 we got this newfangled CD player thing, and the unit came with a free classical music CD (in those days, before modern audio compression, they really boasted about the dynamic range of crisp CD sound, and classical music is the perfect thing to test that with). It was a CD of baroque music. So we unpacked the CD player and put on the music. But while this was going on, I was painting my room upstairs. So the music was coming up from downstairs, and I was painting my room white...and that paint smell and the new CD sound kinda got intermingled in my mind. So if I hear pieces that were on that CD, I kinda feel like I should be smelling paint. Even now. Same thing goes for the song "Last Chance on the Stairway" by Duran Duran, as that was on my first CD I ever bought (Rio).

Usually I find something I like in all genres of music. This morning I was listening to Lady Sovereign, tonight I was listening to "Requiem for a Tower" on my iPod. Maybe I'll be in the mood for Jenny Lewis later on. Or Metallica. Who knows.

Rhapsody in Blue is one of my two,
The other is Walter Carlos as Switched on Bach playing the Brandenburg Concerto's.

I can't just pick one. Some beautiful pieces were already mentioned like Pachelbel's Canon in D and works from Vivaldi. ( I especially like his string concertos ). I also have to mention Corelli's sonatas for violins and harpsichords.
