Bogus poll. Most of my favorites aren't on the list. My Top 5:

Staatskapelle Berlin

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Czech Philharmonic

Concertgebouw

Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz (if you saw the blonde violist, you'd understand why this orchestra makes the Top Five  ;D )

Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Some straight guys like to go for the bottom option too. ;)

final option here, but i really do enjoy the many bpo and lso recordings i have!
i must add the bruckner orkest of linz, l'orchestra de la suisse romande, and the bavarian radio symphony.

Another vote for Bavarian RSO, CzPO and Staatskapelle Berlin meriting inclusion if the LSO is...

Polls like these here are totally pointless. If you think you know and appreciate good orchestral playing enough to distinguish these orchestras from each other and from allegedly "lesser" ones, head over to Mystery Orchestra and analyze the samples of orchestral playing. You should all be able to instantly tell which of the orchestras in the samples are truly "big" ones, and which aren't, and which orchestras you are actually listening to. And also tell us why.

See you there!
