I don't know; I've only ever been to one of them.

No seriously...

Yes they are that good. I would have to say that Uranus is probably my favorite, though only by a very narrow margin over the other seven.

Well the two most, how shall i put this, remembered ones are usually jupiter and mars, mainly because of their melodies, and the fact that they were in some star wars, or space something or other. My favourite is Saturn, i love the melody in that one.

I gotta agree with d-oboe...Mars and Jupiter definitely had their memorable moments with the sonorous brass and the recognizeable melodies, but my favorites would have to be Mercury and Neptune for their abilities to really make you see the nature of the piece. Mercury was the swift messenger of the gods and by listening to the light woodwind runs one can almost see him gliding through the clouds on his rounds...and that one horn call about halfway through the piece with the brass entrance to go with is simply incredible...it gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. In Neptune (the mystic), the low, almost dark colours of the french horn and winds add even more to the mysterious portrait that is painted through the orchestra, punctuated occasionally by a soft trumpet and a beautiful, wispy harp line. I love the classics and Holst certainly does a wonderful job with making the music sing : )
