Johann Sebastian Bach
1685-1750
He was a German composer and musician who lived during the Baroque Period. Since the 19th-century Bach revival, he was generally regarded as one of the greatest composers. He also enriched German styles through counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and his adaptation of rhythms, corms, and textures. He ushered a new era of music, the Classical Period, and composed over 1100 pieces. He also had 20 children, through 2 wives. The first one died though, sadly.

While Bach is known as one of the greatest, I still always on the side of Beethoven...

Yeah, to be honest, I don't like Bach as my favorite. It is just that he had a profound effect to the music world.
My favorite composer is currently Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff.

Bach was great though.

First off, Bach didn't invent counterpoint because the baroque style was basso continuo. In fact notated bass lines (and, hence, counterpoint) became common in the "Vienna Classic" (mostly Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven - to some extent Schubert). Their hallmark was the "durchbrochene Arbeit" 1), the notated bass lines ("Obbligato") and of course the motivic-thematic work. If any Bach, then perhaps Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782), the youngest son of Johann Sebastian. He had a lot of influence on the young Mozart and is sometimes called the "father and inventor" of the Vienna Classic.
Bachs great achievement is the usage of well-tempered tunings and the extensive exploration of the possibilities of enharmonic interchangement and chromatic modulation - made possible by using well-tempered tunings instead of the meantone temperament used before. He also developed (and, arguably, completed) the art of writing fugues. Fugues are a sort of contrapunctal technique, i will give you that, but only in a rather limited way. As said above, truly contrapunctal compositions were developed by his successors, namely the Vienna School.

1) i don't know the proper translation - the principle is to have interchanging groups of instruments carry a part of the melody line so that the different colours and textures of the instruments add to the melodical development. An example would be the Seventh Symphony (C-major) op. 105 by Sibelius: woodwinds and strings in the first part, chromatically leading up to the second part.
