The Greatest Ever: music edition

Inspired by this thread (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18212).

I'm going to allow you more choices than in Psy's thread, though: one composer/artist/group, one album/recording and one live performance (preferably one you've been to yourself, but a recording will do too) per genre, per century.

Any questions?

And as much as many metalheads have bad things to say about Metallica now, I'd still crawl over broken glass to see them live.
