Not really familiar enough with some of them, but you can boot Tchaikovsky's Sixth for starters.

Glad to see at least some Sibelius there... certainly symphonic!

This is too subjective a subject but I'd quibble with the inclusion of Copland's third..... its quite good, but tbh sound like 2nd rate Shostakovich.
Ives 4th just sounds like a mess to me.
Wot no Nielsen?

We need more content in the classical area! Just saw this, pleased to see a token early Mozart and JC Bach in there. I appreciate that the later more serious Romantic and Modern symphonies are more intellectually stimulating, but early symphonies are still of the oeuvre and I personally enjoy listening to them. A Sturm und Drang Haydn should have been included. There must be shed loads more from the c.1760-90 period I don't know from the Mannheim school and Viennese/Bohemian composers.
