* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/fuchsia-ruler Fuchsia Ruler]][[note]]Witc)(ing )(our[[/note]] is just badass. The severe clash between the orchestral of the rest of "Universe A"'s first half and the ''Videogame/EarthBound''-esque techno-rock of "Fuchsia Ruler" becomes eerily logical when someone points out that the rest of the ancestors are dead and the Condesce is still very much alive and active.

** Same applies to herosgrowth, which is basically an Earthbound track remixed a bit.

* ''Homestuck'' gives us [[https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle-3 Sburban Jungle]], part of [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002037 the best loading screen EVER.]] The early mix has a slightly different feel, and thus still has an appeal separate from that of the full song.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/explore-3 Explore]], from [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002657 the EPIC ending to Act 2.]]
* Every 'Ascend' command features Awesome Music. See [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002565 Dave's ascension]] [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/upward-movement-dave-owns-3 for another example]].

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-strider-style-3 Beatdown]], the theme for [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002736 Dave's Strife with Bro]] is badass...
* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-round-2-3 The remix]] for [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002771 round 2]] is even better.

* [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003049 The EPIC ending to Act 3]], featuring the [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle-3 full version of Sburban Jungle]]. If you want to get someone hooked on Homestuck, this ties with [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 Crystamanthequins]] for the best page to show them.
* How about [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-3 "Black"]], the theme for [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003568 Jack Noir's ascension]] in the one-year anniversary flash. Or [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/liquid-negrocity Liquid Negrocity]], its proto-remix. Both are pure, distilled cool that's darker than midnight.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/doctor-3 Doctor,]] from the [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003258 Act 4 opener]], is haunting and fittingly melancholic.

* The End of Act 4 animation brought us [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840 "Descend"]], aka: "The Crowning Medley of Awesome", since it manages to mix together nearly ''every single'' {{Leitmotif}} used in the series thus far. It's so orgasmic it's almost like it's having sex with your ears.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystamanthequins-2 Crystamanthequins]], from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 "[S] Make Her Pay"]]. Which is also incredibly awesome, although spoilerific.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-beginning-of-something-really-excellent-2 "The Beginning of Something Really Excellent"]] deserves a mention. It gets a remix in Jade's advanced bass solo seen [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002926 here.]] Which is also an excellent piece. Both selections are uplifting and catchy. Bec can be seen for a moment on Jade's roof happily bobbing his head to the music.

** And now...we have a use for it as [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004901 the strife theme for Imps with the power of the Green Sun]].

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-skirmish-2 Skaian Skirmish]], used for [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003701 WV?: Rise up.]]

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/megalovania MeGaLoVania]], Toby "Radiation" Fox's most famous musical work from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005197 [S] Wake]]. It's hard to describe in any way but 'metal'. [[{{VideoGame/Undertale}} So good, you'll hear it again after having a bad time!]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvvXGs-KWc Umbral Ultimatum]], from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004827 [S] Jade: Enter]], a chilling, action-packed tune set to one of the biggest [[WhamEpisode Wham Episodes]] in the series.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/elevatorstuck Elevatorstuck]] was once a respectably calming tune, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006727 now]] it's hilarious!

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-rose-green-sun Black Rose, Green Sun]], the music from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005595 [S] Seer: Descend]]. It's just as beautiful when played [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zsgmP7oGnU in reverse]] as well.

** The track itself is actually used in [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005596 the Strife between John, Grimdark Rose and Jack Noir]], although most of the music is cut out in that flash after John's death. The track reprises near the end of the flash.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/terezi-owns Terezi Owns]], the Upward Movement remix from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005644 Seer: Ascend]]. It's just as epic as the original.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/wsw-beatdown WSW-Beatdown]]. Watch [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000927 this]] page of Problem Sleuth while listening to get the full effect.

* Even if you don't ship John and Vriska, [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-remem8er-me Do You Remem8er Me]] is still a fantastic track. Now featured in the [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=009859 [S] Terezi: Remem8er]] flash. Its intro is reminiscent of "Never Gonna Give You Up" and its drumline spells "SHIT" in morse code.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/unite-synchronization Unite Synchronization]] is just a wonderful song that combines all of the kid's instruments in perfect harmony, as if they were playing in a band together. And now that it's been put [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007138 to]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007152 use]] in the comic, it only feels more amazing.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dead-shuffle Dead Shuffle]], now playing in the introduction for [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002733 Act 1031]], is a perfect example of the Midnight Crew's "jazz noir".

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich "Omelette Sandwich"]] starts out with just some string chords, plays itself through, and then keeps rewinding itself to the beginning and adding new instrument groups and generally getting more frenetic, [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003151 just like Eggs]]. It's an amazing effect.

** And now it's been used in an awesome flash page: [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006472 Prince of Heart: Rise Up.]]

** Since Gamzee doesn't really have a theme, he gets something more interesting: he ''parodies'' the Black King's theme with honks. This is to further expand upon his role as a mimic, as seen [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005352 here]].

* What happens when you mix Terezi's theme, your usual Franchise/AceAttorney [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Pursuit" theme]], and a bit of Sburban Jungle? [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bl1nd-just1c3-1nv3st1g4t1on-2 BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON!!]] What's even better is its appearance in [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005660 [S] Flip]]. The glitches, added specifically for the flash, only heighten the suspense leading up to whatever the next few updates have in store.
* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/terezis-theme-2 Terezi's Theme]] fits her perfectly. It starts off creepy, but gets calmer in the second half to [[{{Pun}} balance things out]]; she seems like a creepy person, but is actually nice when you get to know her,

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cobalt-thief Cobalt Thief]][[note]]Luminous [Serenity][[/note]]. The pure, forlorn softness is something we'd never expect for a song about Vriska- and yet, it's a perfect summary of the loneliness and regret she's accumulated inside her. There is a morse code sneaked in which reads 'Please help him.' This ties in to the original assignation being for a firefly. [[note]] Serenity was one of the exiles WV loved the most. When he got wounded, she was sent out to PM for help. The message was 'Please help him' as seen [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006223 he]][[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006224 re]]. [[/note]]

* [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004692 Secret]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005618 ROM]]/[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005625 XROM]] hasn't been released yet.

* Remember Black from Jack Noir's rise to power in the first anniversary flash? What about the iconic phrase "Make her a member of the Midnight Crew?" Well now we have where it's from with [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005625 I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew]] in this update.

* Bill Bolin might have ragequit the team, but his music is still awesome. Take "Guardian", for example, a ''damn'' hauntingly relaxing bassline originally from [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002722 this flash]]. Unfortunately, Bolin has done his best to [[OrwellianRetcon wipe all traces of his homestuck work from the internet]], so finding a stable link to the track is impractical.

* Even though it was created for ''Film/SawI'' and not ''Homestuck'', the use of the unforgettable track "Hello Zepp" during [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=009348 [S] MSPA Reader: Mental breakdown.]] is absolutely fantastic - both as a {{Homage}} to the TwistEnding sequence of that film and the reveal that '''[[ArcWords Lord English was already here]]''' from the beginning of ''Homestuck''. Absolutely brilliant.

* [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/arisen-anew-2 Arisen Anew]], Godtier Aradia's theme, is just plain ''fun.'' It's also the only Homestuck track right now with Music/{{Vocaloid}}s that's not a parody cover or StupidStatementDanceMix. And the unexpected appearance of... [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor?!]]. Well, Homestuck does use the TimeyWimeyBall left and right, so it makes sense to use that quote.

* If this were a video game, [[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scratch-2 "Scratch"]] would be a perfect {{Leitmotif}} for the character. Interesting trivia: [[WordOfGod Word Of Composer]] [[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?33478-Holy-cow-new-album!!-THE-FELT&p=4332648&viewfull=1#post4332648 is that it's based on]] [[AwesomeMusic/SuperMarioBros Bowser's final theme]] from ''Super Mario 64''.

** With that in mind, if at any point you see a song made by [[Music/TobyFox Toby "Radiation" Fox]], you're in for a treat.

** With that in mind, if at any point you see a song made by [[Music/TobyFox Toby]] "[[AwesomeMcCoolname Radiation]]" [[Music/TobyFox Fox]], you're in for a treat.

* The Bonus Track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nClhUae7DMs-2 The Blind Prophet]], if only for the [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments unexpected]] appearance of the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' theme song. It also includes [[StreetFighter Guile's theme]] briefly.
