1* The ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' soundtrack. Specifically, the legendary [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DiWxcilWtU intro]].
2* The [[TearJerker unbelievably beautiful and sad music]] during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXvMhKnGZxw the funeral]] at the end of "[[Recap/FireflyE12TheMessage The Message]]". Even more so when you know that the composer was afraid it was too sad, because he wrote it to mourn the death of the series.
3* Music in "[[Recap/FireflyE05Safe Safe]]", where Simon is prepared to die with his sister.
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8omJvCrwRdY The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jaaaaaayne!]]
5* The theme for Jubal Early, aka the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKs3m7R9zos Evil Oboe of Evilness]] from "[[Recap/FireflyE14ObjectsInSpace Objects in Space]]".
6* The wonderfully upbeat village dance [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSxy8h6Iz-4 music]] during River's dance scene in "[[Recap/FireflyE05Safe Safe]]" both highlighted one of River's first true moments of lucidity and happiness as well as providing great background for the simultaneous gunbattle. Its one of the best parts of the show and gives the viewer the feeling of the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' universe in one minute-long scene. Oh, and it gives us an awesome pun: Riverdance. And Simon's proud look.
7* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuAdZu1hV1M Inara's theme]] is peaceful, elegant, and incredibly gorgeous.
8* In "[[Recap/FireflyE02TheTrainJob The Train Job]]" when Mal, Zoe and Jayne are in a bar fight and they pull out a gun on the crew and then Wash comes and saves them with Serenity. Greatest entrance ever.
9* "River's Perception[=/=]Saffron", the first part of which is a perfect representation of the show's resident [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] and the second part is a spot-on character theme for the titular [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]].
10* "Captain & Ship" from "[[Recap/FireflyE08OutOfGas Out of Gas]]"; a gorgeous, sweeping love theme for Mal and Serenity, highlighting that the ship really is the tenth character in the series and Mal refuses to leave her.
11* The introductory scene of the Reavers gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy-KID71kzQ this]]. And it is awesomely menacing as you see that first Reaver ship in the series loom up out of nowhere.
12* ''Firefly'' and ''Serenity'' both have decidedly awesome soundtracks composed by Greg Edmonson and David Newman, respectively.
13* "Mal Fights Niska[=/=]Back Home" from "[[Recap/FireflyE10WarStories War Stories]]".
14* "Reavers Chase ''Serenity''" from the pilot.
15* The end credits for ''Serenity'', the tail end of which features an instrumental reference to the theme tune for ''Firefly''.
16* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUn-eN8mkDw Mal's Song]], an expanded version of the Ballad of Serenity. "There's a cross once hung 'round a soldier's neck, there's a man's faith died on Serenity's floor..."
