** Speaking of English, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmJ5oBdJTXQ&t=0s here's another one]].

** Also [[https://youtu.be/CpbNbUx6RXM the version at the credits]], "If I Can’t Be Yours”" in which the lyrics really sum up particular characters.
** Similarly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2h8hXPRt_E "Opening of Dream"]]. TearJerker To The Max.

* The first ”[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdhPl1McB8M ANGEL ATTACK]]” theme. The menacing riff drones on and on, and the rest of the melody is incredibly dissonant and eerie. A classic evil song that must be heard.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH7UdQbmeOM&ab_channel=TJSqueak "Borderline Case"]]. Whenever this plays, you know things are gonna get trippy as hell, and fittingly, it's a really trippy song.

* [[https://youtu.be/iR-4LrZ-XOo "I. Shinji"]]. It sets the perfect mood for the scene it is used in, neatly capturing Shinji's inner turmoil as he is in denial over the fact it is his destiny to be Eva-01's pilot while driving home the point he cannot achieve anything by running away from his fate.

** Also [[https://youtu.be/CpbNbUx6RXM the version at the credits]], “If I Can’t Be Yours” in which the lyrics really sum up particular characters.

* [[https://youtu.be/jvjgChLqfV0 "The Hedgehog's Dilemma"]]. The relaxing, but melancholy jazz really captures the feelings of ambiguity that human relationships can create.

* [[https://youtu.be/oly9o_sHSB4 "Rei I"]] is a really chilling and beautiful piano piece. [[https://youtu.be/9WtOo4B8VSs "Rei III"]] puts the same melody to a fusion of orchestra and hard rock, making for a powerful mix.

* On the lighter side, [[https://youtu.be/kq--G6b_97Y Misato's theme]] is a pretty cheerful and upbeat tune, perfect for starting the day in a good mood.

* The first ”[[https://youtu.be/VZogFMdDWPQ ANGEL ATTACK]]” theme. The menacing riff drones on and on, and the rest of the melody is incredibly dissonant and eerie. A classic evil song that must be heard.

** A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYxmm5-xCjs&feature=youtu.be calculator version!]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDMyl9OGfHI Marking Time Waiting For Death]] is pretty awesome too

* [[https://youtu.be/Dd5Z-kmXSmQ "Rei I"]] is a really chilling and beautiful piano piece. [[https://youtu.be/9aB1SUSyMJo "Rei III"]] puts the same melody to a fusion of orchestra and hard rock, making for a powerful mix.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDmG4nClXUM "Heisoku no Kakudai"]] ("Expansion of Blockade"): the perfect music for coming to terms with your depression while [[spoiler: a giant naked alien falls apart in gory detail.]]

** [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=pujzolpDGrA The stripped-down version of "Thanatos"]], which plays in End of Evangelion [[spoiler: while Shinji is [[HeroicBSOD catatonically depressed]] and Misato sends him down the elevator just as she's dying]] is just as powerful, but not tear-jerking as much as just chilling, in an empty and depressing way.
* The cover of [[https://youtu.be/wNhuXQyyBr8 "Fly Me to the Moon"]] from the ending, while not as action-oriented, is very beautiful. The version of "Fly Me to the Moon" that plays after [[spoiler: Kaworu's death]] in Episode 24 stands out from the rest because it's the only ending to not have any singing, whereas the rest are all sung by different people.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a5FTa1U1A "Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude",]] because of the moment in End that it highlighted: [[spoiler: the moment after Shinji kills the human race, he comes to realize that the reality he's been living in is one that he alone created for himself]].

* If there were ever a more perfect song to [[spoiler: reject Human Instrumentality to]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2J7Mo--zpg "Expansion of Blockade"]] has got to be it. Shinji's WhatYouAreInTheDark introspection [[spoiler: saves all of humanity]], and it's absolutely stunning.

* Rebuild takes Eva-01's theme and makes it perhaps [[https://youtu.be/Dg83CFp-SX0 even more horrifying.]] RUN. LIKE. HELL. The track of which it is an alternate version, from Rebuild 2.0: so awesome they pluralized it and made it [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench French]]: ''Les Bêtes''. Oh, and did we mention that "Hallelujah" is being slowly chanted over the soundtrack? ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgBorDzOb-4 Run harder]]''.

* From Rebuild 2.0, [[https://youtu.be/to0XR-9yimQ "The Final Decision We All Must Take"]], perfect for when [[spoiler: girls wearing pink plug suits go apeshit]]. Aptly described by one Youtuber as a song so awesome that it would "make cows chewing their own shit epic."

* Another Nadia remix is the [[spoiler: Wunder]]'s a jaw-droppingly awesome theme, [[https://youtu.be/bUpRaQHUeZs The Anthem]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIscL-Bjsq4 "Komm, süsser Tod",]] dudes. Not only is it catchy as hell and surprisingly touching, the dichotomy of the pleasant tune and painful lyrics gives it an ambiguity that makes it a ''perfect'' match for the scene it plays in.

* Nothing can ever top [[https://youtu.be/cKALRBrHTaM this]] particular sequence, ''The Beast'' especially considering the scene it was used in!... then again, from the End: [[https://youtu.be/0AY27gLWhtM Asuka kills loads of evil mechas while Hideaki Anno plays unfitting music]].
** How about [[https://youtu.be/kkG9UyD56zU this]] little beauty that plays just before it, Harbinger of Tragedy? It just ''screams'' that a glorious asskicking is going to come.

* [[https://youtu.be/iR-4LrZ-XOo "I. Shinji"]]. It sets the perfect mood for the scene it is used in, neatly capturing Shinji's inner turmoil as he is denial over the fact it is his destiny to be Eva-01's pilot while driving home the point he cannot achieve anything by running away from his fate.

* [[https://youtu.be/W6iC8O8fM7M "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!"]], the wonderful piece that accompanies Shinji and Asuka's synchronized assckicking assault on the twin Angels in the namesake episode.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDmG4nClXUM "Heisoku no Kakudai"]] ("Expansion of Blockade"): the perfect music for coming to terms with your depression while [[spoiler:a giant naked alien falls apart in gory detail.]]

From conflict we must learn

** [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=pujzolpDGrA The stripped down version of "Thanatos"]], which plays in End of Evangelion [[spoiler: while Shinji is [[HeroicBSOD catatonically depressed]] and Misato sends him down the elevator just as she's dying]] is just as powerful, but not tear-jerking as much as just chilling, in an empty and depressing way.

* From Rebuild 2.0, [[https://youtu.be/to0XR-9yimQ "The Final Decision We All Must Take"]], perfect for when [[spoiler: girls wearing pink plugsuits go apeshit]]. Aptly described by one youtuber as a song so awesome that it would "make cows chewing their own shit epic."

* There are three little words that drive [[https://youtu.be/Z0RPFQPmm2k "Give Me Wings"]] from a great song into a full blown TearJerker of [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome Awesome]]; ''[[TakeMyHand "Give]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Ayanami back!"]]''

* More songs to add to the pile: "Beautiful World", the song sung by Utada Hikaru for the movies, available in both [[https://youtu.be/owtCcAis7DE Standard]] (Movie 1) and [[https://youtu.be/2L7Luz6bJQM Remixed]] (Movie 2) editions, the new song by Utada Hikaru, [[https://youtu.be/utXF0PGPD3Q "Sakura Nagashi"]] (Movie 3), and "One Last Kiss" in Movie 4.

** In 2.0, the chase to catch [[ColonyDrop Sahaquiel]] and the struggle to destroy it are made even more urgent and dramatic with the tracks "[[https://youtu.be/9m8Wshduuhg Destiny]]" and "[[https://youtu.be/oGN7zT1nt8w Fate]]" respectively.

* Five more songs to add to the pile: "Beautiful World", the song sung by Utada Hikaru for the movies, available in both [[https://youtu.be/owtCcAis7DE Standard]] (Movie 1) and [[https://youtu.be/2L7Luz6bJQM Remixed]] (Movie 2) editions, the new song by Utada Hikaru, [[https://youtu.be/utXF0PGPD3Q "Sakura Nagashi"]] (Movie 3), [[https://youtu.be/9m8Wshduuhg Destiny]], which is played during the race to catch [[ColonyDrop Sahaquiel]], and [[https://youtu.be/oGN7zT1nt8w Fate]], which plays during the battle against Sahaquiel.

** And here's a link to them [[https://viewsync.net/watch?v=t-QSmNReDyI&t=0&v=ZmJ5oBdJTXQ&t=0 synced up]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyIpijrLlcM The "lost" opening for the]] Creator/FourKidsEntertainment release.

* "[[https://youtu.be/nrR4ODHw31s The Beast II]]". Ever heard a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9DCKahS2No metal cover]] of that? It rocks!

* "The Beast 2". Ever heard a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9DCKahS2No metal cover]] of that? It rocks!

* The first "Angel Attack" theme. The menacing riff drones on and on, and the rest of the melody is incredibly dissonant and eerie. A classic evil song that must be heard: [[https://youtu.be/VZogFMdDWPQ ANGEL ATTACK]]
* The tune that plays during Shinji's and Asuka's scene in the kitchen in End, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmbpJswu_iI "Kyomo he no, Izon"/"Reliance Leads to Falsehood" or "Honeymoon with Anxiety.]] The violin solo really hits home the pain and tragedy.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM6WA01HDQ4 "The Hedgehog's Dilemma"]]. The relaxing, but melancholy jazz really captures the feelings of ambiguity that human relationships can create.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxirEiUK18U "M-15"]], an incredibly smooth piece composed for ''End of Evangelion'' but never used. You wouldn't expect something so mellow and optimistic to fit Evangelion so well--and yet it does.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47rpp0jg5D4 "Rei I"]] is a really chilling and beautiful piano piece. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb0TbeeQEI0 "Rei III"]] puts the same melody to a fusion of orchestra and hard rock, making for a powerful mix.

* On the lighter side, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMAYiXPn59k Misato's theme]] is a pretty cheerful and upbeat tune, perfect for starting the day in a good mood.

* There are several unused tracks on the various [=OSTs=]. Imagine the audience's faces when during the orchestral recording of ''Evangelion Symphony'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q07jg4sNIxU the string quintet playing ''Canon'' suddenly cuts into a rap version of the same song]] [[SomethingCompletelyDifferent without warning]]. Even better, it was actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B09YtqwlFY put into]] the ''Evangelion VOX'' album. Shiro Sagisu has a strange sense of humor. And if someone actually bothers to listen to the lyrics, they go very well with Evangelion. "Too much hatred, too much grief" indeed.

* An unused track from the second OST is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oaj2EqRfjSA Yokan]] from Yoko Takahashi. What makes it especially notable is that it is played during the {{tearjerk|er}}ing ending of ''Girlfriend of Steel'', when [[StarCrossedLovers Shinji and Mana]] [[ButNowIMustGo part ways for the last time]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuMbVNDW31o The version found on the VOX album]] is more melancholic than catchy. And someone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMTBsXCOQ_o mixed them together]].

* Hell if it is the SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of a track from another work, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlEC64zdZKQ "Decisive Battle"]] is ''awesome''. Equally awesome is the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc5g0sXOV-g marching band version]].
* Nothing can ever top [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iXxoYH7dog this]] particular sequence, especially considering the scene it was used in!... then again, from the End: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKsTEWz82iQ Asuka kills loads of evil mechas while Hideaki Anno plays unfitting music]].
** How about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pmAI035Jno this]] little beauty that plays just before it? It just ''screams'' that a glorious asskicking is going to come.
** From Those Two Episodes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_GoHE7R_TE "Infantile Dependence, Adult Dependency"]], the official theme song of apocalyptic mental breakdowns.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcuKKtkjiqw "I. Shinji"]]. It sets the perfect mood for the scene it is used in, neatly capturing Shinji's inner turmoil as he is denial over the fact it is his destiny to be Eva-01's pilot while driving home the point he cannot achieve anything by running away from his fate.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVsPFGB1wJk "A Step Forward Into Terror"]], the "Launch EVA!" music.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr9ExScjBno "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!"]], the wonderful piece that accompanies Shinji and Asuka's synchronized assckicking assault on the twin Angels in the namesake episode.

* And for tear-jerking music, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ySWhvwB0VQ "Thanatos"]].
** Also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvwr2w4UTjQ the version at the credits]] in which the lyrics really sum up particular characters.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiYDG1dYD1A The stripped down version of "Thanatos"]], which plays in End of Evangelion [[spoiler: while Shinji is [[HeroicBSOD catatonically depressed]] and Misato sends him down the elevator just as she's dying]] is just as powerful, but not tear-jerking as much as just chilling, in an empty and depressing way.
* The cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWkrE8hdFOQ "Fly Me to the Moon"]] from the ending, while not as action-oriented, is very beautiful. The version of "Fly Me to the Moon" that plays after [[spoiler:Kaworu's death]] in Episode 24 stands out from the rest because it's the only ending to not have any singing, whereas the rest are all sung by different people.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-x4ynnRrZw "The Passage of Emptiness"]]. Beautiful, depressing, and horrifying if you're familiar with what specific scene this song is used in ''The End of Evangelion''.
* The first "Angel Attack" theme. The menacing riff drones on and on, and the rest of the melody is incredibly dissonant and eerie. A classic evil song that must be heard: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkv5b66Qr-U ANGEL ATTACK]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwN9R-rf7B4 This]] remix of Cruel Angel's Thesis is as haunting as it is magnificent.

** "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" takes on new layers of awesome / heartbreaking when you realize just how much foreshadowing it contains. Masayuki's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kFhPVAhV_o Test-Type Opening music video]] takes full advantage of this to create an impressive four-minute recap of the entire series ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJuexdl_c5s now available completely in English]]).

* Five more songs to add to the pile: "Beautiful World", the song sung by Utada Hikaru for the movies, available in both [[http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Beautiful+World/570GvF?src=5 Standard]] (Movie 1) and [[http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Beautiful+World+PLANiTb+Acoustica+Mix/4FPOxv?src=5 Remixed]] (Movie 2) editions, the new song by Utada Hikaru, [[http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Utada-Hikaru---Sakura-Nagashi/ee7ef6de7ab064e76269c91077956114 "Sakura Nagashi"]] (Movie 3), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMChEHUPkaY Destiny]], which is played during the race to catch [[ColonyDrop Sahaquiel]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBP_P44cKng Fate]], which plays during the battle against Sahaquiel.
* Also from Rebuild 2.0, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6l_iIqrM2E "In My Spirit".]] If there's any song that says that the entire human race is completely, utterly, and absolutely screwed, it is this song.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AceWcbyP-no The Longest Day]]" from ''1.0''. Sagisu managed to take the much-overused "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ae1ryQJkc8 Spending Time in Preparation]]" from the original series and turn it from "'[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Qo9iAB9q0 DECISIVE BATTLE]]' with the melody removed" into a solid piece in its own right. Then he decided to ''add ominous choral chanting as well''; the result is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofoyMnyEAVY Serenity Amongst the Turmoil]]".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6SWhcNhaLI "Today is the Time for Goodbye"]]. [[SoundtrackDissonance It's from the scene where the dummy plug is activated against Bardiel.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sSoaG_yZQw "Keep Your Head Above The Mayhem"]] is very, very awesome. Almost a sister piece to "At the Very Beginning" (see above), it contains a choir who appear to be singing in OminousLatinChanting, but are, in fact, singing in GratuitousEnglish. And it is awesomeness at its finest. One of the best battle themes seen for a long time.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_LqHyH1Wfs "Fate"]], which just really captures the feel of the whole series, when you think about it.

* 3.0 has an utterly awesome piece called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_wlb9WRxx4 "God's Message"]] that plays during the six minute preview. It's also a remix of Shirō Sagisu's earlier piece from Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEkOEkUrAnQ "Light of Babel]].
* Another Nadia remix is the [[spoiler:Wunder]]'s jaw-droppingly awesome theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GREcua0a4YY The Anthem]].
* [[spoiler:Wunder's startup theme]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ppdoaNBrHo Dark Defender]]" rounds out the [[RuleOfThree number of Nadia remixes]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t3H6Y73G9w "God's Gift"]] simply ''oozes'' anticipation on a level no other piece of Evangelion soundtrack did before.

* Rebuild takes Eva-01's theme, and makes it perhaps [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64vzWMFENcA even more horrifying.]] RUN. LIKE. HELL. The track of which it is an alternate version, from Rebuild 2.0: so awesome they pluralised it and made it [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench French]]: ''Les Bêtes''. Oh, and did we mention that "Hallelujah" is being slowly chanted over the soundtrack? ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgBorDzOb-4 Run harder]]''.
* This extended version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ_zP7Qxa_w The Beast]], '''perfect''' for dishing out a savage NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on mankind's enemies.

* From Rebuild 2.0, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf28xBOwuIM "The Final Decision We All Must Take"]], perfect for when [[spoiler: girls wearing pink plugsuits go apeshit]]. Aptly described by one youtuber as a song so awesome that it would "make cows chewing their own shit epic."
* Rebuild 2.0 is chock-full of awesome songs: from the melancholic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYQ8gFiydpg "At the Very Beginning"]] to the apocalyptic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCOO2dlhozU "Carnage"]].
* There are three little words that drive [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ihz79t2Z0 "Give Me Wings"]] from a great song into a full blown TearJerker of [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome Awesome]]; ''[[TakeMyHand "Give]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Ayanami]] [[AGodAmI back!"]]''
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7T6ODFt3js "Decisive Battle Alternative".]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmF4C_Qxj2s This]] is a beta version but still awesome.
* Remember "The Beast II" from the original? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndwtZToVcno "Sin From Genesis"]] ''ups the ante.''

** From Those Two Episodes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4TvMeOj9fs "Infantile Dependence, Adult Dependency"]], the official theme song of apocalyptic mental breakdowns.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqqhpE0L2MY "I. Shinji"]]. It sets the perfect mood for the scene it is used in, neatly capturing Shinji's inner turmoil as he is denial over the fact it is his destiny to be Eva-01's pilot while driving home the point he cannot achieve anything by running away from his fate.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTD8nWs4QjA "A Step Forward Into Terror"]], the "Launch EVA!" music.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejSTUVFHzlc "Heisoku no Kakudai"]] ("Expansion of Blockade"): the perfect music for coming to terms with your depression while [[spoiler:a giant naked alien falls apart in gory detail.]]

* The first "Angel Attack" theme. The menacing riff drones on and on, and the rest of the melody is incredibly dissonant and eerie. A classic evil song that must be heard: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGIGPvPbaRM ANGEL ATTACK]]
* The tune that plays during Shinji's and Asuka's scene in the kitchen in End, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d14v_VZWpw "Kyomo he no, Izon"/Reliance Leads to Falsehood.]] The violin solo really hits home the pain and tragedy.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGAOuhG5OCc "The Hedgehog's Dilemma"]]. The relaxing, but melancholy jazz really captures the feelings of ambiguity that human relationships can create.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YEu-Q6SII "Rei I"]] is a really chilling and beautiful piano piece. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1UCxm2hVwA "Rei III"]] puts the same melody to a fusion of orchestra and hard rock, making for a powerful mix.

* The [[https://youtu.be/tYNZ-x8lf28 Latin american]] version is pure dub gold.

* "The Beast 2". Ever heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9DCKahS2No metal cover]] of that? It rocks!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyjCq_iB5yE "The Beast 2"]]. Ever heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9DCKahS2No metal cover]] of that? It rocks!
