8	[[folder:Opening & Ending Themes]]
9	* The first opening theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NJCpJZ19n8 "again"]], like "Brothers", is both heart-wrenching and beautiful.
10	* [[http://musicinanime.tumblr.com/post/67421288681/hologram-nico-touches-the-walls-anime "Hologram"]], the second opening, is normally really good, but being reused for the ending photo montage was possibly the best way imaginable to bring the series to a close.
11	* It may not be as epic as some of the other opening themes, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iAF8TJAqp4 "Golden Time Lover"]], the third opening, makes up for it through sheer catchiness.
12	* CHEMISTRY gets music of awesome with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vx69Pe7Ncs "Period"]], the fourth opening. This is the best way to start an episode.
13	* The fifth Opening [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRA5gsdCf4c "Rain"]] by SID is too beautiful for words. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8GIo_YDHkU MIDI version]] is also incredibly awesome, with the MIDI doubling as Heartwarming Music, especially if you consider the meaning behind the lyrics. Special mention should probably go to the use of it in Episode 61 of ''Brotherhood''. The episode begins with it conspicuously absent; fitting, since this is the equivalent of [[DarkestHour Chapter 104]]. Everyone is "dead" and Father appears to have won. It doesn't play until Hohenheim's circle activates that reverses the whole thing, returning everyone to life, and that song playing over the scene just about doubles the already-high levels of [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]] and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]]. The use of the 5th Opening at the end of Episode 63 is incredibly satisfying as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}} AND one of the biggest {{Tear Jerker}}s of all time...
14	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbZXvmXvNQQ "Uso"]] ("Lie"), the first ending to ''Brotherhood'' is both catchy and touching.
15	* The second ending song of ''Brotherhood'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi9zgj8foKo "LET IT OUT"]], is beautiful on it own, but it's elevated further when paired with two of the most emotional episode endings of the whole series ("Backs in the Distance" and "Reunion").
16	* The third ending theme, [[http://soundcloud.com/little-fox-1/tsunaida-te-lil-b "Tsunaida Te"]] ("Held Hands"), is uplifting and fittingly romantic, given how its lyrics reflect Ed and Winry's relationship.
17	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEkerSi5Fig "Shunkan Sentimental"]], the ending theme which accompanied much of the episodes building up to the final arc. The first few chords, combined with whatever epic event ended the episode, is sure to get your blood pumping.
18	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=accaMcuY9FA "RAY OF LIGHT"]], the fifth ending theme to ''Brotherhood''.
19	%%* The theme songs of the ''Brotherhood'' movie, ''[[Anime/FullmetalAlchemistTheSacredStarOfMilos The Sacred Star of Milos]]'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N04Q2HGe3w "Chasing hearts"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1fRy346838 "GOOD LUCK MY WAY"]].

22	[[folder:Others from Brotherhood]]
23	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSs9H1ANmL4 Mortal Sin]] (played the first time Ed meets Lust and Envy).
24	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2kwie-gs2o Trisha's Lullaby]] (used to great effect when Ed and Al mourn for Nina).
25	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJk4T0OK5RM Next Chapter]]. Note that the name is rather misleading; with a name like that you'd expect it to be something that plays during the end of an episode. Which it is--a couple of times out of 64 episodes, and only in part. More significantly, though, it is used when Mustang reveals his plan to fake Maria's death, and again when Wrath makes his grand re-entrance back in Central.
26	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_439qLQzHs Lapis Philosophorum]] (heard in the first episode).
27	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stzofz4yMSY Xing Symphony -Overture]], the theme for Xingese characters.
28	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdp_g-RYjQI To Be King]].
29	%%* The [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome awesome]] theme which kicks off the battle between Mustang and Envy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_scbziJUEog The Intrepid]].
30	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOiG4A2Vkp4 Versus Homunculus]], and its remake [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KEcpz0IE3M Knives and Shadows]]. The sound of blades clashing behind the music on the second one makes it, as does the images it conjures of the CMOA when it plays.
31	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gweNNwVMClw Pride]] is also an excellent theme.
32	* Major Armstrong's theme, also known as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6QqZfvE3Fw Amestris Military March]]. "COURAGE INCREASED BY ONE HUNDRED FOLD! MUSCLES INCREASED TO ONE THOUSAND FOLD!"
33	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEiucbbXBUA Requiem for the Brigadier General]] (referring to Hughes)
34	--> '''Youtube Reviewer:''' "Mommy.. why... why are they putting dirt on Daddy? Daddy said he has lots of work to do!" [[TearJerker I. BROKE.]]
35	%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkNjCfMjRXA Main Theme]].
36	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n49L3RgGrpI Dissident's Creed]], the music when Winry finds out that Scar killed her parents and aims a gun towards him.
37	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eazctq0E-w0 Ante Meridiam]], the eerie yet saddening song that plays when the human sacrifices discover that Father succeeded in taking all the souls of Amestris to grant him the power of a god.
38	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eksvmp7RtSQ Clash of the Alchemists]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=302Xbp7LRTo Spiral of Truth]].
39	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obmd6Z0K3mg Battle Scherzo]]. Whenever this song begins, a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome is about to punch you in the face.
40	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stzofz4yMSY Xing Symphony ~Overture~]] does not waste any time getting to the good part. The instrumentation represents the foreign nature of the Xingese characters while still fitting right in with other battle music. The percussion in particular does not let up, maintaining a steady yet energetic beat.
41	* Likewise, for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eWVoHVzhxg Crisis in the North]]. Either Ed's kicking ass in the snow, or Olivier and her troops are about to show you -- and usually some hapless, pompous general -- why no one screws with Briggs.
42	* And from the third-and-final OST for ''Brotherhood'', we get some epic battle themes like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KEcpz0IE3M "Knives and Shadows"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3FDnl2PkPs "The Awakening"]].
43	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN_ZRDX_vMo "The Land of Ishvala"]], if only for when it plays during Lan Fan's return to fight gluttony in the forest.
44	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxjP43-6u0 "Far East Suite"]] from the first Brotherhood OST. It doesn't appear on the show, but a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFBe0Eolh48 pizzicato version]] plays in a lot of lighthearted scenes in the early episodes. Impossible to listen to without a smile on your face.
45	%%* The sadder version of "Lapis Philosophorum", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCt4aLirnrk "Sorrowful Stone".]]
46	%%* Brotherhood's score has a particularly epic song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1VBeQlmJJA "Nightfall in Central City".]]
47	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvSGFg1MpXQ "Envy Revealed"]] is the music that appears when the villains take the upper hand, such as when Lust gets the drop on Havoc and Mustang and especially when Father opens the planet's gateway and absorbs God. (Weirdly, it ''doesn't'' play when Envy's monster form is revealed, which is instead scored by a remix of "To Be King.")
48	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8SfncLB964 "Philosophorum Omega"]] plays when Wrath and Scar first come face to face and when Edward is punching out Father.
49	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdEm7-mIdP0 "Let It All Out"]] by Miho Fukuhara. It starts playing after Winry gets close to killing Scar for murdering her parents. When Winry starts crying after Ed talks to her, the lyrics say "let it all out". This moment says so much about the series in general especially because it is a cathartic moment; so much turmoil has built up to that point where there is a good emotional release to drive the series forward.
50	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvJ-Gf3YjOM "Laws of Alchemy"]], played in the short narrative intro and many other moments throughout the show. It is an epic orchestral track that builds up like crazy. Gotta love it.

54	%%* Quite a few of the songs from the first game are actually pretty good, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgs6vneghLg Fate's Crossing]] in particular.
55	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsmUoef7A22AzLR_jnHE-YwGQ9IJUYmwV The four battle themes]] from the ''Omoide No Sonata'' RPG for the Game Boy Advance.
