We always have popular music surveys and polls; I just thought it'd be informative if maybe we'd try the classical genre', for those who listen/play such:
For me:
Tchaikovsky
Beethoven
Bach
in that order.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Classical music, not Classical Rock.Originally Posted by Strike For The South
I like most good Opera pieces, like La Donna e Mobile and Barcarolle. Bach is great, Rodrigo the blind Spaniard is also quite good.

Re: Your Top 3 Classical Composers
For a single piece of music, Gregorio Allegri. (The Miserere, in case it's not clear). Without parallel, especially in its evolved state.
Judged over a body of work:
Tommaso Albinoni.
Antonio Vivaldi (because I adore the cello, and his concertos and sonatas for the instrument are sublime).
Johann Sebastian Bach.
(Very honorable mentions to Henry Purcell and Joseph Haydn).
In the later world of banging, scraping and blowing music (aka the Romantic period):
Johannes Brahms
Ludwig van Beethoven
Camille Saint-Saëns
Over all and not subject to classification, only to genius:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Pour moi?
Tchaikovsky - for the depth of soul
Beethoven - to see into the mind of God
Wagner - when I want to invade another country
There are a bunch of pieces by Mendelssohn that are really nice, though I haven't a clue what any are called. When I used to work the graveyard shift in Montreal light years ago, I always listened to French CBC in the morning when I came home. The chick on the radio had the sweetest voice and always played lots of Mendelssohn. Fell asleep with the two of them soothing my mind many a morning.

It's hard to choose only 3, but I'll go with:
Mozart
Elgar
Wagner
Re: Your Top 3 Classical Composers
1) Frederic Chopin
2) Johann Sebastian Bach
3) Franz Liszt
Ludwig van Beethoven, strong honorable mention
