I actually have quite a lot of classical back from when my kids did classical piano many moons ago. But what Coop posted above is more something I would listen to lately except maybe some old Gregorian chants that I lucked out on finding on cd. One of the Gregorian chants cd's is actually covers of like Stones and Beatles done in that style, slightly weird when you first hear it, but it grew on me. Now I wanna find my Yngwie Malmsteen classical cd ( well his version of classical anyways).

Ahhh! I was going to post a video of Uli Jon Roth, but you beat me to it!!
I need to look for that Gregorian chant CD.
Erm....some more good bombastic classical stuff I like is:
Brahm's Denn Alles Fleisch es ist wei gras from Brahm's German Requiem -- This is the song I want played at my funeral.
O Fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana - Ozzy Osbourne always plays this song as he comes onstage.
Mussorgsky's Night On Bald Mountain
Richard Wagner was like the king of bombast. This song, Ride of the Valkyries is the "Kill De Wabbit" song from Looney Tunes and also the background theme music from the infamous schoolyard-helicopter-bombing scene in "Apocalypse Now"
Thus Spake Zarathustra from Richard Strauss, the opening theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey
And I love this early-eighties heavy-metal take on Toccata and Fugue.

Mozart IS the greatest musical genius of all time. My particular favorites are the Salzburg Symphonies and Elvira Madigan (one of if not the most beautiful piano pieces ever)
Like Bach as well not too familiar with particular pieces but the Fifth Saraband is plain haunting.
Beethoven as well the Fifth Symphony or The Fate Symphony as well as Fur Elise another gorgeous piano piece.

There's that disco version of Beethoven's 5th on the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is probably my fav.
But I really dig Claude Debussy. Prelude No. 8 and Clair de lune are both favorites of mine.

Guess I should finally weigh in. Here is one of my favorite compositions, played by one of my favorite guitarists. My wife walked down the aisle to this song played on the piano. LIsten to Steve Morse interpret Bach's Jesu.

I just saw Brahm's Requiem LIVEEEEE! It was insanely badass. Recordings do this music no justice. The concert was held in a church with enormous vaulted ceilings and massive stained-glass windows, which only added to the epic-ness of it (and also enhanced the acoustics)
This part in particular is pretty mindblowing to hear live:
