Anything by Yuki Kajiura. :iluvu

I was introduced to her music by the anime .hack//sign and have been a huge fan ever since. Her music can also be heard in Tsubasa, Chrono Crusade, Elemental Gelade, Gundam Seed, Noir and Shounen Onmyouji to name a few. :wink:

I love the music from Inuyasha, especially "My Will". The Inuyasha Wind Symphonic Theme CD is just absolutely beautiful!

I also like the music to Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Cowboy Bebop. The Last Unicorn has some gorgeous music too. Art Garfunkel did a beautiful version of "Thats All I've Got to Say" the song when Prince Lir is singing to Lady Amalthea.

I like the music from Unico in the Island of Magic, but I can't find it anywhere! The LP showed up on Ebay last year but it sold for over $100.

And, always, long live the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Genesis!!

Really you don't discriminate.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Hmm... this is such a tough question to answer. I guess i'd follow the masses and say FFVII, but to mix it up from the gaming world i really like Morrowind, Icewind Dale and Guild Wars. Me a geek? Never!

From our anime world i guess it would have to be GITS Standalone complex and Cowboy Bebop - - - and how could i forget Berserk? :wink:

I don't credit many anime with strong music tracks because many have either squeaky female singers, obscure J-pop/rock sensibilities or have a techno beat.

But there are a couple which I think deserve credit, the American reworked score for Cyber City OEDO 808 is great, the ending being particularly suitable for credits, a time to reminisce on the anime that preceeded it.

As you probably already know, I'm a big fan of The Hakkenden OP, the video of which can be viewed on my gallery homepage.

My favourite game music theme is "Theme of Laura" from Silent Hill 2

When I need a peppy pick me up song, my favorite is Honto no Jibun from Shugo Chara. For a calming song, I like Snow Rain by Kana Ueda which is featured in Mahou Shojo Lyrical Nanoha A's. I also like the OP song from H2O Footprints in the Sand, but I can't seem to remember the title of the song.

I'm also partial to the Cowboy Bebop "real jazz, not jazz light" OST songs. I think "Bad Dog No Biscuits" is one of the funnier song titles I've come across.
