Scott Pilgrim (Graphic Novel)
- Not that we can hear the music, but come on, the fight with the first ex (Mathew Patel) culminating in a song battle is pretty damn awesome. The film remade said song as his Villain Song (complete with a Bollywood feel and great dance routine), Slick.
- In volume 6, the song Envy sings, and the lousy cover of "I'm a Believer" by Shatterband are very awesome moments.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Film)
For the film adaptation, Nigel Godrich (at the score) and the various Canadian, American and British acts that were invited for it did a fantastic job. Godrich's score in particular pulled off quite some epicness while emulating 8-bit era video game music.
- The opening credits song is just pure punk rock energy and nothing else. And it’s glorious.
- It's not every film that can make an audience cheer with the studio's fanfare in, as a running gag on this wiki attests, glorious 8-bit.
- Special mention goes towards Metric's "Black Sheep", sung by Envy's actress herself, no less! Eleven years later, we got the full Brie Larson recording!
- "The Vegan", Todd and Envy's theme, is a slow, throbbing number that drips menace, foreshadowing how Scott is in way over his head.
- "Roxy", the theme for the battle between Roxy, Ramona, and Scott, gets progressively more crazed, perfectly fitting Roxy's frenzied attack style.
- "Threshold" during the fight between Sex Bob-omb and the Katayanagi Twins. They won a fight with MUSIC.
- The dueling bass guitars that nearly get Scott killed at the hands of Ex #3.
- "Ramona", Scott's acoustic ballad for Ramona. Bonus points for featuring some impressive harmonies.
- It's less than a minute long, but Crash and the Boys' "We Hate You, Please Die" has a kickass bass riff and sweet punk rock beat.
- What Matthew Patel lacked in fighting skills, he made up for with his song, "Slick".
- "Boss Battle" screams Final Boss like no other, befitting Scott's epic battle against Gideon.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Video Game)
Anamanaguchi composed the music, for starters.
- Speaking of starters, the start screen's theme is the tip of the iceberg. Dark One, Nega Scott's theme, is a Dark Reprise of the start screen theme, and is equally amazing.
- "Rox 300" is a surprisingly soaring boss theme for a lesbian like Roxy Ritcher.
- "Gideon's Wrath Part 1" is an impressive Final Boss theme fitting of Gideon Graves.
- Another Winter is very energetic and fun, and quite possibly the catchiest piece in the game.
- Rock Club is a very fast, awesome song set to a huge club brawl.
