I love this poll, even though I do not consider myself competent to vote in it.

Why not? You've listened to all of the early symphonies, IIRC, and only have missed a few of the middle ones. Your listening experience is extensive, I would say. Lots of folks have only licked the tip of the iceberg! :)

Most of them, I've only listened to once!  So I do feel I need another go-'round . . . .

I still can't believe that no one (other than myself) voted for the first five. I love the 2nd. The first is great, too, but I am particularly fond of the perpetual-motion andante of the 2nd (and also the finale).

Well, there are 107 symphonies and dozens and dozens of them are superior to the first five. It isn't surprising actually that they've received no votes (and I'm saying this as someone who genuinely loves the First and Fifth). Once you've heard them all you might feel the need to revise your choices in this poll.

This thread needs a bump.

I've heard probably fewer than half! And I will have to listen my way through my Szell recordings to recollect which of the 90s symphonies were my favorites. Off top of my head, all I can think of as special favorites are 45, 60, 82, 83, 92, and 95.

82 "The Bear" has always been my favorite though. :)

Now my tops list would include:
45, 53, 67, 80, 82, 92, 93, 97, 99

All worthy choices...especially the Cat  ;)
