Don't forget about the great European hymn writers as well. Men like Issac Watts, Augustus Toplady, John Newton & Martin Luther.

Awesome thread dedicated to the greatest musical creations ever. God truly gifted all those men. There is nothing like the styles of classical and hymns that you guys have posted that has ever come along, nor will there ever be.

It is indeed divine.

Even if you're a metalhead or punk rocker, European classical music is great to listen to from time to time. :rockon:

Speaking of which, don't y'all forget the worlds of great stuff by these masters beyond their greatest hit -- e.g. hymn variations by the likes of Pachelbel. Squared-off version of the "Jesu, Joy" hymn:
