As far as complete symphonies go, Beethoven's 9th is my favorite. I listened to it pretty much every night while studying during my first year of college chemistry. Bach's "Jesus, joy of man's delight" is probably my single favorite composition.
 
I don't listen to enough classical music to even name a complete symphony, much less pick a favorite. But I have some favorite compositions...

"Ode to Joy" - Beethoven
"Toreador" - Bizet
"Fur Elise" - Beethoven
"Canon in D" - Pachelbel ?
+ all the songs in the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky.

Beethovan's 9th is the best...:D

I like Strauss' Blue Danube, but they say that's a waltz...:(

I love Bach's organ works. You know why he had so many kids?

(... beat ...)

His organ had no stops.

I love Strauss's "Til Eulenspiegel" and just about anything by Satie.
 
Mahler's Second

Especially for you Beethoven 9 fans, if you want to stretch your ears a little but want to stay close to what you know you love...try Mahler's Second. It is a truly beautiful piece that never fails to reach me (especially the Fourth Movement).
