* In "Sounds of Silence" Autumn Blaze sings A Kirin Tale and takes one's breath away, not only with her surprisingly uplifting melody, but also with the profound message to never let fear of bad things stop you from enjoying the good. The song is so awesome that it has more than earned its status of EarWorm.
** The TriumphantReprise, in which Autumn expresses her joy, is just as awesome if not ''more so.''

** The Cutie Mark Crusaders' own BGM, most prominently heard during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXNl2CXXWIA their montage from "Show Stoppers".]] Ironically, this is Will Anderson's [[CreatorBacklash least favorite]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzcj8ZGP3q8#t=2091s piece]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLQpLolIAT0 School of Friendship]] starts out upbeat but turns uncertain and almost downtrodden later to perfectly illustrate how the school has a good start but goes sour when Twilight insists on going ''by the book''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB6FwrVoi9k Friendship Always Wins,]] a beautiful and powerful song about how the reopened School of friendship is a place where everycreature is welcome to learn about friendship and how friendship itself transcends species differences.

[[AC:My Little Pony: Equestria Girls]]
%%The following example has been commented out for being a ZeroContextExample. Do not uncomment it without expanding it to explain why the named tracks belong on this page.
%%* "Equestria Girls" (aka "Helping Twilight Win the Crown"), "Fix It Up", and "This Is Our Big Night".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRAmsUmsi18 The opening.]] Bonus points for it resembling a fan made PMV, in both looks and sound.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhg_6ONBnhU Strange New World.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj7VZWjzVvI "So get up! Get down! If you're gonna come around!"]] The intro even sounds like [[Music/{{Queen}} "We Will Rock You"]]... Here is the full [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlRLb_P5G9U version.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7qhVXnx8LY The song]] that accompanies the fashion montage and the party.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdNXSONq9O0 "A friend for liiiifffee! That's what you are to meee..."]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJrt7ISQSws This]] song from the original trailer, which is STILL unnamed, despite fans trying to find out where to find it on the web and who sang it.
* The [[CutSong unused]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aJyDsL2wMU original end title music]], sung by Kaylee Johnston.

[[AC:My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks]]
* Adagio Dazzle and the Dazzlings have two great songs revealed.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aMexypkD3E Battle of the Bands]], the essential VillainSong with killer siren vocals.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKhEVBaIVrQ Under Our Spell]], which was first heard as part of a game on MLPEG.com.
* The Rainbooms' songs are also great.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuZUugnnIis "Better Than Ever"]], which has a pretty catchy chorus.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWrHQszOsCA "Awesome as I Want to Be"]], Rainbow Dash's AwesomeEgo song.
* The song featuring both competing bands, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfqhLM_k60c "Welcome to the Show"]], which, at the end, contains a solo by [[spoiler:Sunset Shimmer]]! This is also a meta moment of awesome for Rebecca Shoichet, who [[spoiler: performs a duet with herself as Sunset and Twilight, characters with two distinct voices.]]
* The [[AwardBaitSong end credits song]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykOzD10kjos "Shine Like Rainbows"]].
* Even Twilight's "Bad Counter Spell", despite the intentional StylisticSuck in the instrumental parts, has Daniel Ingram's SignatureStyle in the vocals.
* "Music to My Ears" from the tie-in shorts is Daniel Ingram's first attempt at dubstep, and it rocks as hard as anything by seasoned pros in the genre. In fact, its vast dynamic range may make it [[TwentyPercentMoreAwesome 20% TOO awesome]]; remixes tend to give it a more normalized volume level.
* And here's a nice surprise: months after the film was released, three all new songs were released: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqnbYUG6Bn8 "My Past is Not Today"]], a beautiful IAmSong for Sunset Shimmer that cements once and for all her CharacterDevelopment and is already considered Sunset's [[{{Disney/Frozen}} "Let It Go"]] moment, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C7D5Tr5Sj0 "Life is a Runway"]], which shows Human Rarity is every bit an artist and designer as her Pony Counterpart (not to mention some gorgeous VocalEvolution on Kazumi Evans' part), and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3ixfTKGG8A "Friendship Through the Ages"]], a visual showstopper that serves an affirmation to each other (and potentially the audience) that no matter what happens, the core of the girls' friendship will always remain.

[[AC: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games]]
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7rIzLb-Ing CHS Rally Song]], an uplifting song performed by Rainbow Dash and the CHS marching band in an attempt to raise school spirit for the Games. Eventually the whole auditorium joins in.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IiuovpQOxc What More Is Out There]], which shows how much the Human version of Twilight is an outcast at Crystal Prep, but holds out hope that there's something more for her.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHKw_pVS-YE Acadeca]], a song that depicts both schools' competitiveness, as well as showing off Sunset's singing VocalEvolution.
* The movie's villain song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyhZr_MNMJw Unleash the Magic]], sung by the principal of Crystal Prep Academy and the school's students convincing Twilight to use the magic she drained, delightfully dark and haunting. When Twilight herself joins in, the sense of hopelessness and despair instilled in a viewer is increased tenfold.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV3iFES15k4 Right there in Front of Me]], which has Sunset and Twilight singing together, along with the other Mane Six, showing how far the two have come.

[[AC: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree]]
* To start us off, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3YHyp2xfRc Legend of Everfree (Main Title)]], an upbeat song about following one's destiny and making a difference.
* Human Twilight's solo for the film, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPGHvqge9BY The Midnight in Me]], is a haunting song that shows how worried she is about her SuperpoweredEvilSide getting unleashed and how she wants to protect her new friends.
* Sunset's solo, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0Km-55sN3E Embrace the Magic]], is a catchy, [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Let It Go-esque]] song that encourages the girls to embrace their new powers and put them to good use.
* Continuing the trend of epic villain songs, [[spoiler: Gloriosa Daisy/Gaea Everfree]] gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLeFhQDKUg We Will Stand For Everfree]], a dark melody in which she expresses her desire to keep the camp running -- even if it means she has to resort to unorthodox methods to do so.
* The Rainbooms return to give us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0c01Y-Xok8 Legend You Were Meant To Be]], a techno-pop song with a similar theme to the opening tune.
* Finally, we have the credits song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49D2C45hRuc Hope Shines Eternal]], a song about hoping for a good future and-like other songs on this list-following your own path.

[[AC: Equestria Girls shorts]]
* The Summertime Shorts featured a host of new music videos, including:
** [[https://youtu.be/FLlzEeyQXJo Mad Twience]], a Human Twilight-focused song that showcases her love of science.
** [[https://youtu.be/lmhifH1Wx8k Monday Blues]], a duet between Sunset Shimmer and Human Twilight about not letting a terrible day get you down.
** Human Applejack's first solo number, [[https://youtu.be/4xd1r0_67Ug Shake Things Up!]], a catchy dance song in which she finds a creative -- and tasty! -- way to cure herself of boredom working at a juice bar.
** And finally, [[https://youtu.be/Eg33bBRsupc Get the Show on the Road]], which the Rainbooms sing while turning [[TheAllegedCar a decrepit, barely functioning school bus]] into an [[CoolCar awesome tour bus]]. It also features [[AWildRapperAppears Rainbow Dash rapping.]]
** Two more musical shorts were released digitally later: [[https://youtu.be/tFdEa8tKM2E Coinky Dink World]], a fifties-style tune and solo for roller-skating waitress Pinkie Pie, and [[https://youtu.be/6ygTvEUnXW8 Good Vibes]], a heartwarming song set over a montage of various students -- including members of the Humane Six at their workplaces -- helping each other, and ending with some viable ShipTease between Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry.

[[AC: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks]]
* Prior to Sunset's solo in "Welcome to the Show", we get a major AutobotsRockOut moment when the Dazzlings summons projections of their Siren forms, leading to the battle between them and the Rainbooms.

[[AC: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Friendship Games]]
* The original version of "What More Is Out There" features a DistantDuet between Human Twilight and Sunset Shimmer. Even if it led to a BrokenBase, it's agreed to be beautiful. The final version is very pretty, with Twilight as a solo singer making the song a touch more intimate with Twilight's insecurities.
* "Unleash the Magic" is definitely an intense VillainSong, having the tension, charisma, and singing chops to feel right at home in a Disney film. [[spoiler:All the more effective since it ends with Twilight's transformation and subsequent FaceHeelTurn.]]

[[AC: Season 8]]
* "School Daze" gives us two songs:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeas0WoCYbk School of Friendship]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIFggwBjtBM Friendship Always Wins]]

* From [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E4OneBadApple "One Bad Apple"]], we have a [[TheVillainSucksSong villain sucks song]] about the bully [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjNmShuijg Babs Seed]]. It's probably the most upbeat song of its category with a seriously [[EarWorm ear worm-y]] chorus and visual [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to ''JosieAndThePussycats'' and "Let's All Go to the Lobby" to top it off.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paXOkGMyG8M Rainbow]], a song performed by Songbird Serenade at the end of the film as the Friendship Festival finally gets underway.

* After a while of no significant musical numbers, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E14CanterlotBoutique Canterlot Boutique]] brings the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKVUWdh3caA Rules of Rarity]], a Rarity song reminiscent of "Art of the Dress" but with its own heartfelt spin on the nostalgic tune.

* The music cues when Rainbow Dash is finally bored enough to try reading from "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It and Weep]]" borrow heavily from TheNeverendingStory when Bastian is about to open the book for the first time.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ettpMLbeuA We Got This Together.]], a group song in which Twilight's friends encourage her that they can do their part to prepare Equestria for the festival.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTx7OyIZRFg I'm the Friend You Need.]], a song performed by Capper in which he charms the Mane Cast into trusting him whilst planning to double cross them for his own purposes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FY9G0MJ4G4 Time to Be Awesome.]], a song performed by Rainbow Dash to Captain Celaeno and her crew to rekindle their adventurous spirits after years of disheartening service to the Storm King.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayfd_lCLKB0 One Small Thing.]], a song performed by Pinkie Pie and Princess Skystar to try and lift the sea ponies' spirits.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W599nooue4Y Open Up Your Eyes.]], a song performed by Tempest Shadow in which she describes how little she values friendship and believes all of it to be a childish dream Twilight needs to wake up from.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paXOkGMyG8M Rainbow.]], a song performed by Songbird Serenade at the end of the film as the Friendship Festival finally gets underway.
