!!TurnAGundam

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVM2WNOWdZA Last Impression]] from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]''. What starts out calm turns out to be very upbeat, classical and... AWESOME. A fitting end to the AC Saga. [[Tropers/ChrisX This editor]] believes that lately this song is always the song for ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' characters when they appear in SuperRobotWars for a ''reason''. It kicks ass.
** "When the Dragon Swims, The World Ends" in the first episode where they introduce the Gundam pilots, and pretty much any song that uses Heero's motif.
*** [[Tropers/AmuroNT1 This troper]] would argue that all of the boys' individual battle themes are awesome: Heero's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfdKeB9E3RM Wings of a Boy Who Killed Adolescence]]" (whose tune is used in several other songs), Trowa's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNtj690MwIM In the Returned Scent of Blood and Gunpowder]]", Quatre's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsBOOCmduQ Looking for Peace Hiding in the Corpse]]", and Duo's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrCJeT3-L1o Black Wind Inviting Death]]", though the latter is a WastedSong and only ever shows up in ''G Generation'' games. Also, the aforementioned "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCd2eYMNOig When the Dragon Swims]]" is Wu Fei's theme.
*** And ''then'', Heero and Duo got a MidSeasonUpgrade to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuNVe_iJYlo "Legend of Zero"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI_doJ_V4NU "Hellraiser Returns"]].
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa7ePqwjlVs "Zechs Comes"]]... too bad only bits and pieces of it ever got played in the series.
** [=TWO-MIX=] in general is pretty good. Their other three ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' songs ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7P0phyE2to Just Communication]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4tcPa_dTA Rhythm Emotion]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yEdA7xmNls White Reflection]]), while arguably not ''quite'' as awesome as Last Impression, are all excellent in their own right. Check 'em out before [[RanmaOneHalf Nabiki]] overcharges for them.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kONaTbUT4UM The "Just Communication" instrumental]]: Played over the dub credits. The closest American viewers ever got to seeing/hearing the original TV show openings.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgimcZlzGfA Use the Cloak of Darkness]], most memorable for the scene where Duo jumps a bunch of OZ mooks with the Deathscythe Hell. Much [[SinisterScythe reaping]] ensues. "THE [[{{Shinigami}} GOD OF DEATH]] IS BACK FROM HELL!"
** The Wing Zero appears for the first time. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VanrjY_Tle0 Swinging Target]] plays. MookHorrorShow ensues.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56dsH8qZI7E "Gundams Are On Earth"]] first rolled out with the {{Toonami}}'s airing of Endless Waltz, taking one part [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh-nPLdRu4o "Eternity & Infinity Are In These Hands"]], one part of Toonami's signature drum and bass and mixing them together into something that is undeniably badass.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OVHSImFNBU Treize's theme]] gets a vote from this troper. Epic character gets equally epic theme music. And the first minute or so of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_9mTtSKyQ "Enforcement Rush"]] gets special mention for being particularly badass.
*** Really, all that needs to be said about ''Wing''[='s=] soundtrack is that it was done by Kow Ohtani, the award-winning composer behind ''{{ICO}}'' and ''ShadowOfTheColossus''.
* Whatever your opinion of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'', you can't deny that the soundtrack was top quality:
** From the first OST are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOFYkSq40pA Gundam Shutsugeki]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOY9FBmXRBM Kesshin]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvyfEiJdm28 Kanashimi]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVEu2hOs8o0 Wazukana Fuan]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYJpcDKm6fY Heiwana Hoshi]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_3dnG4-EKk Shatei Kyori]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPcB0UGyX1I Namida]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm8Medr80js Kaisou]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Squakfyu0t4 Hoshi e no Inori]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYLaPxXwDxY Eien e no Shunkan]]".
** From the second OST are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL9N-eN9aBA Akatsuki no Kage]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrbaB37PTw4 Kuuchuu Shisei]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuyLsFNUaWI Tekiki Shuurai]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQKFp4SMwgQ Senjou no Ketsui]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44l5nWeL70 Kougeki Taisei]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbGRxjPN4tI Heiwa no Inori]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fv8On2ChfU Seisen no Gishin]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk5_BYpfmS0 Sajin no Machi]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHnhmMjk6tM Kodoku]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3BDBMMV0zw Chijousen]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4pwZUCWAho Kawaki no Yume]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZzWKKpWbN4 Sentou Butai]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kC8kozA7QY Strike Shutsugeki]]".
** From the third OST are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtHTn-pzFF0 Justice and Freedom]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUBkTQgxK0g Yuukouda Geki]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylZEmztqQvk Kouhoushien]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nniDImKcz4o Senkou no Hate ni]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LayobuJhJGM Countdown]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsLb4otGYR4 Sekibetsu no Shizuku]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im-PDFH0XWU The Secret of Birth]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ALfofVSbeg Yuujou no Boueisen]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=946g_9gcGS4 Shutsugeki Meirei]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Cdutb4FyE Yuujou no Keiyaku]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV3n7dGfgKw Aku no 3 Heiki]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WEUSfDzJ4A Kodoku no Senritsu]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OuOw7zSCUk Itsuwari no Yuujou]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vcpsxHB_mQ Shizukanaru Hanran]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99kE-5FMrzE Fly! Freedom]]".
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n20ksFb5CE8 Saikisen]], which, to this tropers knowledge, only played in one episode of the series. And that was [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Kira and Athrun's final battle]] with each other.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_LlK0S_Sc8 Prophecy of the End]], perfectly summing up [[OhCrap everyone's reactions]] to [[KillSat GENESIS]] being unleashed.
** Pick a random OP/ED/insert song from [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED either]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny series]], and more often than not, you'll find it qualifies for this category. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bg54wXfuR8 See]]-[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkD2VaM2lo Saw]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vkXvb3CtA Nami]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HiugLQ4rTI Tamaki]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOMV8aT_zIA TM]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwgXqMGSdog Revolution]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHpQFw4DJE FictionJunction]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNb0wX0blA YUUKA]]. And there's more...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrKfFr4q8E Moment]], the second OP of Gundam Seed.
*** And then there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5QhAJtIG14 this]] fandub of it. It's arguably even ''better'' than the original, if that were even possible. [[SturgeonsLaw "Remaining 10% is worth dying for"]], indeed.
* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' may have [[JumpingTheShark jumped the shark]] about halfway through, but the decay didn't stop the soundtrack from being awesome.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZdWhCi7UYM Pride]] (the second opening theme) by High and Mighty Color. Hell yes.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UceFnE4RKa4 Life Goes On]] is also filled with awesome, and has more variations used in the episodes than the other ending themes, I seriously counted at least 6 on the soundtracks. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qh_Q2T56_g Kimi Wa Boku Ni Niteiru]] is also excellent, and is the only ending theme to be used in the series and the Special Editions.
** [[http://youtu.be/BrmNgCvahXs Reason]], the first ending theme, is HotBlooded to the max.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No1gTGAK4ZY Kanashimi no Stella]] is [[TearJerker heartbreakingly]] beautiful.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixTNjvWAdcg Youki to Bishoumi]] is what makes Dearka, Yzak and Athrun teaming up again so awesome early on in the series.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I14KOnSE_RA Kyouki no Hate]], played when the Destroy goes on its NightmareFuel laden rampage.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW0D4lCQS64 Kuroi Hadou]], Shinn's battle theme towards the end, complete with OminousLatinChanting.
*** On the subject of Ominous Latin Chanting, there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPczrvoZZMU Shuunen no Ichigeki]]. This troper has no idea what part of the anime it's from, but darn it if it isn't epic.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZLqrk3SZF4 Sakebi to Gekitetsu]], played as Athrun and [[spoiler:Mu]] race to destroy the Requiem. The finale of ''Destiny'' doesn't measure up to the one in ''SEED'', but the music for it certainly does.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWbCt5tEE-E Gaia x Chaos x Abyss]], the theme for the [[SuperSoldier Extendeds]] early on in the show (coincidentally, this is when they're legitimately badass).
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_9vxUP_PCg&NR=1 Launch! Impulse]] is a majestic theme for a Gundam launching sequence. It is reused as one of Shinn's themes in SD Gundam Generation Wars.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo8A-ZE30v0 Kira, Just As He Pleases]]. Kira may have taken some actions during ''Destiny'' that were questionable, but his theme music is unquestionably badass.
** No matter what you think of Lacus Clyne during Destiny, you cannot deny that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiu7IFwDQs Fields of Hope]] is one of the most beautiful songs ever featured in a Gundam show.
* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' features a beautiful score by Kenji Kawai, but don’t just take our word for it:
** Season one gives us "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZgH4WF8oq4 Alarm Bell]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRzyM1b8zoA Intervention]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKfAXy5jwB8 Power]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lbmuP2bonk Setsuna]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHbqTuAGems League]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KnK2mKU20o Imperial Princess]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLGLBRx0ecI Seizure]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqSlPI8Lak Expectation]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tX83zi9FA Reason]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj8o1F0pI98 Fight]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCA2oxKBdHo Recover]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlSksE_IJ2I Counterattack]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLbUDyt0_f8 Scenery]]".
** From the second season are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NayEpyzd2Ko Distortion]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQj5wKPwsyk Strike]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK95VeyDr8U 00 Gundam]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuNKLEcafXg Take Off]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dKcTR7KxPw Power Attack]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUnsZ2UWxE Innovator]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm90KKduo8w Restart]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLzp2Y0fdXo 0 Raiser]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI15yE3_2p8 00 Raiser]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVcy_9GqS9c Masurao]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsJR0c6_wI4 Trans-Am Raiser]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTSUjyhisYA Decisive Battle]]".
** The awesome opening themes are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKedFrA9efs Daybreak's Bell]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtAl5qzxl9E Ash Like Snow]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJK2MRbubg Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Fleeting and Eternal Sorrow)]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApeBoQgbDU Namido no Mukou (Past the Tears)]]"; the equally awesome ending themes are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPxvOpD6iD8 Wana (Trap)]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26gJ3sQN20U Friends]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=A-ZTLrz_Plk&feature=endscreen Prototype]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCxotNSHX6c Trust You]]".
** {{The Movie}}'s score is just as impressive as the series', with such gems as "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DDMUF-RdAc Envoy from Jupiter]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwYWy5zCNDQ The Battle of Strangers]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBptZWBcbig&feature=related ELS ~ Impregnability]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9199GFql3A Final Mission ~ Quantum Burst]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9qD5tmS2rE We are Celestial Being]]".
** The themes from the movie are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cv5OqCErsk&feature=related CHANGE]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4kXMvhgF3w&playnext=1&videos=BL-4oJAXctk Closed World]]".
*** Don't forget the ending theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDIwVkcZdpU&feature=related Qualia]] and the insert song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLwkjslxK0&feature=related Mou Nani mo Kowakunai, Kowaku wa Nai]]
* Besides the newer Gundam shows, ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JRvsvxGDRE Moeagare Toushi]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQgXvmtI_ug Waga Kokoro Meikyou Shisui]], both used when Domon uses one of his signature techniques (the first for Shining Gundam, the second for God Gundam).
** I'll take your ''Moeagare Toushi'' and ''Waga Kokoro Meikyou Shisui'' and raise you ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv-aoeTQZ2M Sentou Danji - Kitae yo Katsu Tame Ni]]''. [[spoiler: It's the music that plays when Domon debuts in the Gundam Fight finals on the God Gundam, and when Master Asia teaches Domon the Sekiha Tenkyoken, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLaydxMhlw0 as seen here]].]]
** And of course, we cannot forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK9Y_8GN2h0 Flying In The Sky]], now can we?
** How dare you all go this far without mentioning ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_EPVyBfXa8 Saiyou no Shou ~ King of Heart]]'', which accompanied the epic 1st unveiling of Shining Gundam, and continued to be used in several hyperkinetic moments thereafter?
** Let's not forget ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8ap6zPLqK0 Kizu Dakare no Yume wo Nigiri Shimete]]'', aka the Shining Finger theme song slowed down. Played during HeartwarmingMoments such as [[spoiler: the death of Master Asia]] and [[spoiler: when Domon confesses his love to Rain]]... and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8gOpOcQv0 Kyoudai Kasuru Yabou]]'', the Hyper Mode theme.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnEowbJfZ4E Soldiers of Sorrow]] has become quite iconic, and has been covered by several people, including;
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCTXyonXrQY Gackt]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzdXwruUtkg Animetal]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAQOfb9apFs JAM Project]]
*** And even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzETpugsaYI Andrew W.K., who did a very successful English version]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1gZXdLciDI Beginning]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l24_0SH3VK8 Encounters]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdYa9c7puUw And of course, Here Comes Char!]]
*** About "Here Comes Char", the song's lyrics are open to some AlternateCharacterInterpretation which makes it outright hilarious if you think of it as being sung by someone who got owned by Char.
*** Andrew W. K. also did a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiCvZT-Klg suitably awesome]] English version of Here Comes Char!.
* ''[[CharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]'' had an amazing orchestral soundtrack, rivaling anything coming from major American productions. Especially notable are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYnaam5bvZE "Main Title"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVeykCVkI0I "Nu Gundam"]], and ends with an excellent, although non-orchestral song by the name of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLafiUfEcPo "Beyond the Time"]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81iZsjxbx_M The Winner]] is nothing to scoff at either.
*** Which leads to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKqR26llSqs&feature=related an AMAZING English translation]] by Richie Kotzen of {{Poison}}, who happens to be [[OneOfUs a die-hard Gundam fan!]]
** We later get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0vM8FR1Wn4&feature=related Oblivion]] from the same source as Men of Destiny. It uses the exact same instrumental, but rather than simply dubbing the lyrics into English, new somewhat apocalyptic, yet still awesomely GAR, lyrics were written, effectively making it a new song. Also somewhat unique for an English song, it was used in the original [[MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Japanese version of the show]], and has perfect grammar and pronunciation. And it is ''freaking'' awesome.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87HksnOR5B8 Assault Waves]], the perfect music to have epic MS duels to.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWTJnQsGpGk Dendrobium]] is nothing to scoff at either.

* Even the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork ill-fated]] ''[[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]]'' had a pair of ''excellent'' opening themes: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHEWYyOGXDg&feature=related Dreams]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S52QQiBGNUI&feature=related Resolution]]."
** Gundam X was full of awesomeness. Listen to "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j3dZM5aff0 GX From the Past]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WklTQKUYHiE Giant Power Getting Close]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCtxokoIITY How Do You Know Me?]]", or "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0PutC4n-UU Growling Space]]".
* No love for ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''? Awesome 80's music with the Opening Themes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzDRYTfktZ8 Zeta - Transcending Times]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfzmVJ4O96w From an Aqueous Star with Love]], the latter of which was co-written by Neil Sedaka.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAy74MaRaPA The Pulse of Zeta]], which was used as the opening theme for the English version.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3yY8EncET0 Riders in the Skies]], which plays during the climax of the finale.
* ''[[MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Gundam Unicorn]]'''s soundtrack is full of win. Of particular note are: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v25MaXwopNI Unicorn]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Ea_mJ5hzE Mobile Suit]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-kBz2psBpA Laplace]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu4tCWTyqds Full Frontal]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LX1x_rZ-T8 RX-0]]", and [[SdrawkcabName MAD]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUEoJbQJ9q4 NUG]]. Any of these play up, and you know epicness is about to ensue. And on the other side of the coin are tracks such as the beautiful "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX0k-nGSWUY The Univers]]", the wistful and majestic "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw-nVCmqBmc Zero Gravity]]", and the downright ''uplifting'' "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGNR2BpYMUg On Your Mark]]".
** More recent episodes bring us such pieces as "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhAoSjh4hG8 Mobile Armor]]", [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OxxtRV8tbo&feature=related Mobile Suit <W-REG MIX>]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFxcYYYGff0 The Battle]]".
* ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' takes this UpToEleven with the tradition of great {{Gundam}} music teamed up with YokoKanno and its awesome results.
** More specifically, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2NkIJyRylw&feature=related Moon's Cocoon]] which serves not only as the second ending, but as an absolute TearJerker during scenes it's played. Other great songs include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umOsdHA8Qjs Colors Of The Wind]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_OlWVTQPJA Dark History]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAju5I2QnGY Bookisaito]].

* ''GundamF91'': Okay, so it's TheJimmyHartVersion of [[StarWars the Imperial March]], but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDiTaoTcoL0#t=0m45s the Crossbone Vanguard theme]] is still made of awesome.
* Fans are disappointed for many reasons that ''CrossboneGundam'' has never been made into an anime... the kind of music the Crossbones get in video games [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebxKO3WaPk is one]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrgwOpkbRvo of those reasons]].

* ''GundamAGE'''s first OP, [[http://vimeo.com/32584929 Asu e]] certainly doesn't disappoint.

** The awesome opening themes are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKedFrA9efs Daybreak's Bell]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtAl5qzxl9E Ash Like Snow]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shJK2MRbubg Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (Fleeting and Eternal Sorrow)]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApeBoQgbDU Namido no Mukou (Past the Tears)]]"; the equally awesome ending themes are "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPxvOpD6iD8 Wana (Trap)]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26gJ3sQN20U Friends]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGNSwtwFZ8U Prototype]]", and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCxotNSHX6c Trust You]]".

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uXh2fRG2Q8 And of course, Here Comes Char!]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVM2WNOWdZA Last Impression]] from ''GundamWing''. What starts out calm turns out to be very upbeat, classical and... AWESOME. A fitting end to the AC Saga. [[Tropers/ChrisX This editor]] believes that lately this song is always the song for GundamWing characters when they appear in SuperRobotWars for a ''reason''. It kicks ass.

** [=TWO-MIX=] in general is pretty good. Their other three GundamWing songs ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7P0phyE2to Just Communication]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy4tcPa_dTA Rhythm Emotion]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yEdA7xmNls White Reflection]]), while arguably not ''quite'' as awesome as Last Impression, are all excellent in their own right. Check 'em out before [[RanmaOneHalf Nabiki]] overcharges for them.

* Whatever your opinion of ''GundamSEED'', you can't deny that the soundtrack was top quality:

** Pick a random OP/ED/insert song from [[GundamSEED either]] [[GundamSEEDDestiny series]], and more often than not, you'll find it qualifies for this category. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bg54wXfuR8 See]]-[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkD2VaM2lo Saw]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vkXvb3CtA Nami]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HiugLQ4rTI Tamaki]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOMV8aT_zIA TM]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwgXqMGSdog Revolution]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OHpQFw4DJE FictionJunction]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNb0wX0blA YUUKA]]. And there's more...

* ''GundamSEEDDestiny'' may have [[JumpingTheShark jumped the shark]] about halfway through, but the decay didn't stop the soundtrack from being awesome.

* ''{{Gundam 00}}'' features a beautiful score by Kenji Kawai, but don’t just take our word for it:

* Besides the newer Gundam shows, ''GGundam'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JRvsvxGDRE Moeagare Toushi]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQgXvmtI_ug Waga Kokoro Meikyou Shisui]], both used when Domon uses one of his signature techniques (the first for Shining Gundam, the second for God Gundam).

* Even the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork ill-fated]] ''[[AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]]'' had a pair of ''excellent'' opening themes: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHEWYyOGXDg&feature=related Dreams]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S52QQiBGNUI&feature=related Resolution]]."

* No love for ''ZetaGundam''? Awesome 80's music with the Opening Themes [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzDRYTfktZ8 Zeta - Transcending Times]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfzmVJ4O96w From an Aqueous Star with Love]], the latter of which was co-written by Neil Sedaka.

* ''TurnAGundam'' takes this UpToEleven with the tradition of great {{Gundam}} music teamed up with YokoKanno and its awesome results.

* While GundamZZ is a [[LoveItOrHateIt polarizing series amongst Gundam fans]], you'll be hard pressed to find someone that speaks ill of its awesome (and ironic) opening theme: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Aua8LwpItE Anime Ja Nai]].
* VictoryGundam may be [[DownerEnding very]] [[KillEmAll depressing]], but it's first opening [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A358-QODoI0 Stand Up To the Victory]] is still a bright, powerful song.

* ''[[MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Gundam Unicorn]]'''s soundtrack is full of win. Of particular note are: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v25MaXwopNI Unicorn]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Ea_mJ5hzE Mobile Suit]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-kBz2psBpA Laplace]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu4tCWTyqds Full Frontal]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LX1x_rZ-T8 RX-0]]", and [[SdrawkcabName MAD]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0zONmV6rSc NUG]]. Any of these play up, and you know epicness is about to ensue. And on the other side of the coin are tracks such as the beautiful "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX0k-nGSWUY The Univers]]", the wistful and majestic "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw-nVCmqBmc Zero Gravity]]", and the downright ''uplifting'' "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGNR2BpYMUg On Your Mark]]".

*** Don't the ending theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAjvWcykzVk Qualia]] and the insert song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLwkjslxK0&feature=related Mou Nani mo Kowakunai, Kowaku wa Nai]]

** No matter what you think of Lacus Clyne during Destiny, you cannot deny that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiu7IFwDQs Fields of Hope]] is one of the most beautiful songs ever featured in a Gundam shows.

* Besides the newer Gundam shows, ''GGundam'' has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wdjn7hwKLo Moeagare Toushi]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JjyJ7HP8MA Waga Kokoro Meikyou Shisui]], both used when Domon uses one of his signature techniques (the first for Shining Gundam, the second for God Gundam).
