Greatest classical composer of all time?

Classical music. Although the actual classical era technically lasted between 1750-1820, we will simply cram a few centuries in the mix and hope nobody will ever notice

Rules. Nobody before 1650 and nobody after 1900.
Let's try and keep this legit. No, Steven Foster is not a classical composer. Think 'Europen/Asian.'

Who is the greatest classical composer who ever lived? Who is your favorite? I know this question may seem random, but I wanted to test the wit and depth of out little community here.
I'll start off.

Johann Sebastian Bach.

Dissenting opinions?
I look forward greatly to hearing from yall. :p

Bach and Mozart are good. :D

Yay! What else do yall think?
Oo

Music is a taste, therefore no one composer could be better than another. But I personally like Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky.

Well it's more about the mind of the composer and less about the amount of fans. Tchaikovsky is an amazing pick @___@

Haha, why thank you! Very gentlemanly of you!

I don't know what that means!!
