[That's Starblazers to those who still remember it!]

That Starblazers theme reminded me of Speed Racer - a real classic masterpiece.



That was one of the best anime ever made. Excuse me.... I think I got something in my eye *tear*

The soundtrack to the movie "10". Why?
Maurice Ravel's Bolero....This is the one for me. It will always be the one for me. The way is begins...the way it ends...it's very passionate...seriously...I was so stoked to play this in my HS band back in the day...
A close second is from LOTR-Return Of The King
...the whole soundtrack is so damn powerful...I miss my band geek days...
YouTube - Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Soundtrack
As far as game soundtracks...
Kingdom Hearts 1
(Dearly Beloved, the orchestral version of "Simple & Clean", Dive Into The Heart...wow!)
Kingdom Hearts II
(Orchestra version of "Passion", Organization XIII, Waltz Of The Damned, Monochrome Dreams, Adventures In The Savannah, Showdown At Hollow Bastion---yea I can go on)
& I recently downloaded this from itunes-
Diablo III Overture-Russell Brower & The Eminence Symphony Orchestra
YouTube - Diablo III - Overture (Soundtrack)
I know I was floored when I 1st heard it.

Wish I can do a Winterguard show to these...*sniffs

I don't know if anyone's played it, but the soundtrack from Baten Kaitos for GCN is really epic. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Orchestra music in general tends to have that effect on me though.

Classic music in general makes me think of spring rain, which I like. It's relaxing and I enjoy it.

I feel very refreshed when you listen to the soundtracks of movies or music without lyrics.

Music that makes me REALLY happy, it's scary, is the music from Sweeney Todd. Regardless if people sing or not, it just gets me pumped and in a much better mood.

"Superman theme" and "The planet Krypton"

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' "Golum's Song"

[Yuusuke]

hearing music from Megaman video games makes me want to dance

No no, this is perhaps one of the best musical numbers.

YouTube - Dark Cloud - Main Theme

[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

Two of my favorite instrumental songs ever:



Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda - "The Treasure That Cannot Be Stolen".



Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda - "Tears of the Stars, Hearts of the People".

Not sure is anyone mentioned this but I loved the soundtrack to Gladiator by Hans Zimmer Especially the song "Now We Are Free" YouTube - Gladiator - 'Now We Are Free' Music Video

Hans Zimmer is simply amazing.
