What's wrong with the 9th symphony?

>>130381803
It's not even Beethoven's best let alone best song ever. As far as best classical goes I'd say Chopin due to his insane popularity at the time which was likened to Beatlemania as well as it still sounding dope today.

To be clear, I am using this list as "My Tops" and not the Greatest of Humanity.

Well, except for Science: I honestly think the advent of Microbiology or the Internet and World Wide Web are the greatest achievements in humanity. With the former, we doubled, if not tripled, our lifespans and greatly strengthen ourselves in numerous ways (e.g., people are taller than before because we're a healthier species). With the latter, it's because it rapidly increased our progress at an exponential rate: all the shit that happens in a year feels like it would take a decade pre-Internet/WWW.

I know they're both relatively modern, haven't read enough "foundational" literature like War and Peace.

>Video Games
Silent Hill 2. Possible MGS3.

>Music
Bach concerto no.1
Beethoven Sonata No.14
Richard Wagner: Lohengrin

>Science
Hard to pin. Depends on what you mean. Foundational? I'd say the discovery of displacment or something simple like that, or that the Earth is round. More recently and importantly? Penecillin was pretty important. Also splitting the atom changed politics and basically changed the nature of war forever. We can never again just have an all-out war like WW2, too much fear for nukes.

>>130380867
>subjectivity: the thread

>>130386826
Not really. See the art section. Most of us agree that the Sistine chapel is the greatest work of art ever. And it's true. It symbolizes western culture more than any other piece of art.
Regarding other categories, there is a lot of stuff to sift through, but it seems that Moonlight sonata is the best piece of music. Great movies, games and pieces of literature that deal with different themes, periods... tend to make the choice of absolute best harder. As one anon stated, Star wars is the quintesential heroes journey story, and I agree. I love Forrest Gump because its a warm human story and it is a cinematic masterpiece. Godfather is a dark story dealing with family, first and foremost. Yadda yadda. Don't know too much about lit, but Dostoyevski is up there, in one way or another.
Science has a lot of stuff going on, and I'm ashamed that noone mentioned the six simple tools, something that everything practical in engineering comes from. But the scientific method has been mentioned, so there's that.
