** And then there is this: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcjTBL-0zLY Rekishi no Tenkanten]] or "The Song you usually would associate with a ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' OneWingedAngel BossFight, right before you get [[CurbStompBattle beaten to the ground]]".

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWNM_meC3w Hare Hare Yukai - Kyon + Kyonko Duet]]! Given, Fans can be [[FanDumb quite stupid]] sometimes and then there are things like this...

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdXkSjpvF74 Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite]]. Obviously [[TheQuietOne Yuki]]'s ImageSong, this can be very surprising if you didn't already know that MinoriChihara's a solo artist.

** CristinaVee's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smIJ0oUGpUs fandub]] is so good!

** Featuring the BadassBookworm as a technically gifted guitarist pretty much for the hell of it. Most awesome thing in the history of anime? Quite [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEDIrFj3Cs possibly]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJ8cmaT3Ek The version from the English dub]] is ''also'' really cool. Basically, they just translated the lyrics and left it at that rather than trying to write a new song.
*** Masaaki Endoh, you have new rivals. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr4crv2pcrU Their names are Marco and ShowZ.]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9pcEXszBc The Genderbend version]] also this, and is ''dripping'' with sexiness (as if the original wasn't).

** If you count the {{image song}}s in, you can add [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7bQG6LcMDY Kyon's Hare Hare Yukai]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns6GqJboWCE COOL EDITION]] from Asakura and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFMz8EGieh8 SELECT]] from Nagato.
** Asakura's other song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fZukCwUcgg Koyubi de Gyutsu]]. The complete opposite of COOL EDITION, this one is about the sweet and gentle person she pretends to be. SweetDreamsFuel in pure form.
** Mikuru's ImageSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmjBTuDMRI Toki no Puzzle]], probably should be under [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Music of Heartwarming]]/TearJerker territory. She sings about how her mission sadly keeps her from fulfilling her desire to be with Kyon.
*** Mikuru finally gets a chance to rock out like her fellow Brigade girls with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR1OSIhM8g Etto Returns Shite Revenge]].
** A few more to add: Haruhi herself gets a particularly rockin' one with the piano-and-guitar-driven [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Q_ana7kuw "Parallel Days",]] Tsuruya-san shows off her cute voice with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-8Daiqs4xc "Seishun Ii Janai Ka",]] which stands out with a great Chinese string section, and Itsuki's purring sex of a voice translates to music with the fun, earwormy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKXH9uf06cM "Maggaare Spectacle",]] which also has little voice snippets from Yuki and Mikuru!
** You may not care about the character much or even ''remember'' her. But Emiri's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFG3AaaMXS0 Fixed Mind]] is gorgeous and heart-touching.
** Another one from Tsuruya: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3lHiAozx_4 Megassa Koukishin]]. Gentle, thoughtful and adorable.

** Personally, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHg3yJXGkdg 'Sonority' version of Gentle Oblivion]] is far more powerful. The song is an absolute TearJerker of a song, but this rendition just cranks that UpToEleven. It's the least busy out of the renditions, and all that is left is the beautiful singing itself. If this doesn't move you in some way, you have no soul.

** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3lHiAozx_4 Tsuruya]] again.

* The new opening of the second season, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjfKwRb0bi8 "Super Driver"]]. Fuck yeah.

* Asakura's other song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fZukCwUcgg Koyubi de Gyutsu]]. The complete opposite of COOL EDITION, this one is about the sweet and gentle person she pretends to be. SweetDreamsFuel in pure form.
* Mikuru's ImageSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmjBTuDMRI Toki no Puzzle]], probably should be under [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Music of Heartwarming]]/TearJerker territory. She sings about how her mission sadly keeps her from fulfilling her desire to be with Kyon.
** Mikuru finally gets a chance to rock out like her fellow Brigade girls with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR1OSIhM8g Etto Returns Shite Revenge]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5Xokl8IJkc Nanika ga okashii]]. It's the "[[TemptingFate Nothing can go wrong]]" music.

** For awesome BGM, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj3LxG7Y-hw "Nagato no Kokuhaku"]] (Nagato's {{leitmotif}}) and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7_K-XnRmD0 "The Mysterious"]] (Itsuki's {{leitmotif}}) also come to mind.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pg1bRA9w4k Guess who's back...]][[hottip:*:[[OhCrap Asakura Ryoko]]]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJiOf_sld3k Oi Oi]], the "What has Haruhi got us into this time?" music.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoKpVx_ezI Comical Hustle]]. What better way to introduce how eccentric Haruhi really is than with a ska-rock montage?

** A few more to add: Haruhi herself gets a particularly rockin' one with the piano-and-guitar-driven [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Q_ana7kuw "Parallel Days",]] Tsuruya-san shows off her cute voice with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-8Daiqs4xc "Seishun Ii Janai Ka",]] which stands out with a great Chinese string section, and Itsuki's purring AudioErotica of a voice translates to music with the fun, earwormy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKXH9uf06cM "Maggaare Spectacle",]] which also has little voice snippets from Yuki and Mikuru!

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9pcEXszBc&feature=related The]] Genderbend version also this, and is ''dripping'' with sexiness (as if the original wasn't).
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI_wWlz2Rck Lost My Music]] as well.
*** CristinaVee's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smIJ0oUGpUs fandub]] is so good!
*** Equally awesome is her rendition of the second season theme song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDvrqRq6veI Super Driver]].
** Also, Tchaikovsky's Symphony #4 Movement 4 from the climax of "Day of Sagittarius III" and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FrUHBOYdsw#t=4m16s Mahler's Symphony #8 Part 1]] from the climax of the first season. Both of them are also awesome outside of this context, naturally, but this is where they accompanied [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]].
*** What about the song that played '''during''' the battle? Shostakovich Symphony No. 7 'Leningrad', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFIqQrcpbro The Invasion]]?
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdXkSjpvF74 Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite]]. Obviously [[TheQuietOne Yuki]]'s ImageSong, this can be very surprising if you didn't already know that MinoriChihara's a solo artist.
*** If you love Yuki's ImageSong, then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPtl3J3tSc THIS]] will blow you away.
*** If you count the {{image song}}s in, you can add [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7bQG6LcMDY Kyon's Hare Hare Yukai]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns6GqJboWCE COOL EDITION]] from Asakura and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFMz8EGieh8 SELECT]] from Nagato.
*** Okay, it's official from the season 2 songs -- anything [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e69kpBHxUq4 Yuki]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX7ODa6BwIQ Kyon]] sings will always be awesome.
*** How dare you to forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQDimt2c1c&feature=related Tsuruya-san]]!
*** Or Haruhi? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aKSnW85NuY That's the death penalty for you!]]
*** Asakura's other song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fZukCwUcgg Koyubi de Gyutsu]]. The complete opposite of COOL EDITION, this one is about the sweet and gentle person she pretends to be. SweetDreamsFuel in pure form.
** Mikuru's ImageSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmjBTuDMRI Toki no Puzzle]], probably should be under [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Music of Heartwarming]]/TearJerker territory. She sings about how her mission sadly keeps her from fulfilling her desire to be with Kyon.
*** Mikuru finally gets a chance to rock out like her fellow Brigade girls with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmR1OSIhM8g Etto Returns Shite Revenge]].
*** Mikuru might be singing about Haruhi. LesYay FTW. Where's the evidence either way, she does recall the maid outfit fondly when she's older.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IHoFk3HHcM "Koi No Mikuru Densetsu"]] from the first (0th) episode is made of win.
*** ...and here's what it sounds like in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBzarI39qs8 Haruhi's head]].
** One of the best songs in the soundtrack is also one of the simplest: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-5nJdptkp4 Itsumo no Fuukei]], which translates to "Everyday's View". It's known for being that piece of music heard when Kyon talks about no longer believing in aliens, time travelers, and espers in the first episode (in chronological order; it's the second episode in the [[AnachronicOrder other order]]).
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in_ZKsE5xnw This]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stw4C07pIko one]] gets remixed BookEnds for ''Vanishment''.
*** And then we have TheMovie version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdBMpSweDD0 Itsumo no Fuukei]]
** What about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJiOf_sld3k Oi Oi]]? It's the "What has Haruhi got us into this time?" music.
** Let's make a quick mention of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVAhO8I2gVg Nagato Vs. Asakura]] music, which is ''absolutely fucking badass AWESOME'' as background track.
*** Another awesome battle soundtrack: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRU5yRIbCEY Kamadouma]] (the Cave Cricket battle music).
** The new opening of the second season, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjfKwRb0bi8 "Super Driver"]]. Fuck yeah.

** And of course not to mention one particularly memorable track, there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACsrDhqNg80 Ready]], the song that plays while[[spoiler: Kyon decides if he wants to try and restore the old timeline or not.]]

** Featuring the BadassBookworm as a technically gifted guitarist pretty much for the hell of it. Most awesome thing in the history of anime? Quite [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEDIrFj3Cs possibly]].

** Featuring the BadassBookworm as a technically gifted guitarist pretty much for the hell of it. Most awesome thing in the history of anime? Quite possibly.

*** CristinaVee's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smIJ0oUGpUs fandub]] is so good, this troper thought it was official!

** Mikuru's ImageSong, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmjBTuDMRI Toki no Puzzle]], probably should be under [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Music of Heartwarming]]/TearJerker territory. She sings about how her mission sadly keeps her from fulfilling her desire to be with Kyon. [[{{Mapi-chan}} This Troper]] sometimes tears up thinking about/listening to this song. Of course, Mikuru could just be a [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]] who's trying to get on Kyon's good side so AlternateCharacterInterpretation...

**** This troper's convinced it's Yuki. Especially with the line; "Even if only a little, I want you to smile"

** And then there is this: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9OwzbDE9fs Rekishi no Tenkanten]] or, how ThisTroper calls it, "The Song you usually would associates with a FinalFantasy OneWingedAngel BossFight, right before you get [[CurbStompBattle beaten to the ground]]".

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HPFiejmERA First Good-Bye]]. Originally from the last episode of the radio drama but re-released as part of the "Imaginary ENOZ" LP. In This Troper's opinion, easily keeps up with God Knows and Lost My Music.

* Itsuki Koizumi's version of Hare Hare Yukai was so good, this troper covered it!

** Also, Tchaikovsky's Symphony #4 Movement 4 from the climax of "Day of Sagittarius III" and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GuyifwENck Mahler's Symphony #8 Part 1]] from the climax of the first season. Both of them are also awesome outside of this context, naturally, but this is where they accompanied [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]].

For all the songs in HaruhiSuzumiya. Or the numerous OST, since epic moments deserve epic music, and a show about [[BadassBookworm aliens]], [[{{Moe}} time travelers]], [[AmbiguouslyGay ESPers]], and BadassNormal preventing a {{Tsundere}} from ending the world would have epic parts everywhere.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw9pcEXszBc&feature=related The]] Genderbend version also this, and is ''dripping'' with AudioErotica (as if the original wasn't).
