From Conan the Barbarian

Basil Poledouris - Prologue / Anvil Of Crom

On my Hi Fi system it sounds great.

I like Hans Zimmer's works. Even though the mostly writes film music, his music has a certain flow and weight that is very moving.

I'm betting nobody else will pick mine

Polovtsian Dance from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin

agree w/dondrei that jonesy is broken in the head

Russian Easter Festival Overture by Rimsky-Korsakov is good too

further edits

the wagner march is great, makes me want to watch Excalibur every time I hear it

and I love Basil Poledouris (RIP) love the Conan soundtrack, have it around here some place, if you like it you'd probably like stuff like Scheherazade, New World Symphony, or Pictures at an Exhibition

The Diablo expansion main theme reminds me a bit of it as well (played when starting the game and in the WSK).

I always start sweating when hearing that particular version when the volume is turned up because it's so intense. From what I read in the comments on youtube, it's from the London Symphonic Orchestra with Klaus Tennstedt conducting. If you watch the video, you can see that he has to sweep away his tears from time to time and shake his head, af if he cannot believe how great it is. That tells a lot if it happens to a pro. It must have been truly epic to hear it live.
