* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Jupiter" and "Uranus" qualify for sheer force... especially "Jupiter."
** "Mars", too (you might have heard a rendition during the end of the [[Franchise/StarWars Battle of Yavin]]).
*** Not to mention [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros 21 and 24]]'s [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments version]].
*** Every time "Mars" is incorporated into the soundtrack for a war movie's battle sequence, take a shot. Franchise/StarWars, Film/FireBirds, ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', and numerous others.
*** "Mars" was used as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtfmvwyHuNs the soundtrack]] for the intro of ''Outpost'', the videogame that preceded ''Videogame/Outpost2''. Awesome just begins to describe it[[note]]It played a MIDI version instead of a [=MP3=] one as in the video and accompanied better the events described there[[/note]].
*** The music in the launch sequence of John Glenn's ''Friendship 7'' in ''Film/TheRightStuff'' is Holst's "Mars" suite.
* FirstInstallmentWins: Of all the segments in ''The Planets'', "Mars, the Bringer of War", the first one, is easily the most popular and well known.
* SampledUp: By Music/BillieEilish of all people, her song "GOLDWING" opens with a verse of one of his lesser-known works "Hymn To Vena".
* TearJerker: If you're in the right mindset, "Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age" is a gut-wrencher.
** "Venus, the Bringer of Peace" is also a bit of a tearjerker after the sheer terror of "Mars, the Bringer of War". While it is supposed to sound more peaceful, like the aftermath and rebuilding after a devastating conflict, it also sounds a little bittersweet, as if to reflect the people killed to bring that peace into being. Hardly surprising for pieces [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI written in 1914 and first performed in 1918]].
