What are your favorite chess openings?

Right now I'm learning the Sicilian Dragon with 9. O-O-O and the Maroczy Bind. Unfortunately not many of the games I play right now lead down those paths.

Is the Sicilian Dragon a extended version of the Sicilian Defense?

As white: Queens gambit, English opening, Catalan, Colle-Zuckertort.

As black: Sicilian, Petrov and some random assortment of QGD set ups.

And trying to learn the Grunfeld tho the amount of theory is making my head explode.

But to narrow it a bit.. i have to say.... as white English opening or Queens gambit.

As black, O'Kelly / Kan variation of the sicilian.
