Classical Music

Beethoven's 3rd, Eroica (for Heroic... not erotica), is also good. His 5th and 9th are obvious choices.

Mahler's 1st is great.

I'm a big fan of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade.

Also check out Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, specifically No. 2

If you want to kill 90 minutes, Verdi's Requiem.

And if you want some Bach Cantatas go for #4 Christ lag in todesbanden and #140 Wachet auf.

They're not all symphonies, but great pieces of music nonetheless.
