OK, off topic but while waiting for patch ....

List your top 5 greatest musical works of all time. Here's mine:

1. Rachmaninoff: 2nd Concerto
2. Faure: Requiem
3. Beethoven: 2nd Movement, 9th Symphony
4. Handel: Messiah
5. Verdi: La Traviata

I'm giving the highest weight to sheer melodic beauty and overall grand scope.

(No, its not the Beatles)

But to get you in the mood for a carrier battle or a massive bombing campaign,
nothing come's close to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkuries"

The first time I saw Apocalypse Now, I was really impressed with their use of "Ride of Valkyries" while attacking the Vietnamese village.
