Erm... no. Not at all actually.
But I'll add my list, Saz and Epona named some good ones.
If you're just getting into classical music, I could name some 'easy listening' - more accessible music.
Anyway here are some of my favourites, there may be a few in there that are a bit too weird to get into easily, but just give them a try a few times....
Gorecki's Third Symphony (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs)
Mozart's Requiem (most Requiems actually, and most of Mozart's "Geistliche Werke")
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana or Catulli Carmina
Tchaikovsky's Pathetique (his fifth - written just hours before he died of cholera)
Rachmaninov (maybe the Vespers)
Bach/Mozart/Beethoven - anything
Händel's Messiah
Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue)
Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite or some piano concertos
Janacek (anyone know how to get the half-circle on top of the 'c'?)
Charpentier's Te Deum
the Matthaus Passion *sigh*
Fauré's Requiem or Cantique de Jean Racine
Shostakovich's Fifth or Seventh Symphony (Leningrad)
Vivaldi's Gloria or Quattro Stagioni
Purcell's Dido & Aeneas
Mussorgsky's Night on the Bare Mountain
some Mendelsohn
