I realize, thanks to my grandmother's knowledge, that I've listened to quite a number of them anyway. I adore Don Giovanni and the Wagnerian Tetralogy to the point of obsession, but perhaps I’ve already told you that.

Come on!!!! Cavalleria Rusticana hand in hand with Pagliacci even in the rankings, too predictable Mr. Hyde! You could have at least separated them once!

  Of course not :)... but then, there's no fun in being "normal" (who even knows what that means!)... it's much better to be a bit crazy... right???

No... in my opinion, Nabucco is a somewhat crude opera... the orchestration is "poor"... there's a lot of noise on stage almost all the time... this is Verdi's first, combative and warlike, and indeed raucous... the Verdi with the helmet... the opera doesn't feature memorable arias, duets, cabalettas, cavatinas, or trios... it does have some beautiful choruses though... among the "patriotic-Risorgimento" styled operas, I definitely prefer Rossini's Moses in Egypt (with Jewish slaves and all that too) which has an even more beautiful patriotic chorus ("Dal tuo stellato soglio") than the famous "Va Pensiero"... and let's not forget that Verdi heavily borrowed from Moses for his Nabucco... moreover, Moses has a sublime orchestration; you can even feel Haydn in it...
