6* ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', the first iteration of the franchise, is where a lot of the original songs in the franchise can be found, most if not all from this era done by composer Creator/RonWasserman. In his ''WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers'' videos, Creator/LewisLovhaug refers to the "Wasserman factor", whereby awesome music can enhance the viewing experience of the show.
7** First and foremost is MMPR's famous theme song "[[https://youtu.be/7Wt6XlVob_E Go Go Power Rangers]]", featuring both epic guitar riffs and catchy lyrics that are guaranteed to get stuck in your head.
8** [[https://youtu.be/ItJvpeu-psU Zords.....]] The [[https://youtu.be/69jPGLQTnZI lyrical version of the song]] is great as well, and almost seems ''more'' catchy.
9** Surprisingly, while most of the show is supposed to be kind of a comedy (and even if it's not an outright comedy, it's very, very campy even at its most serious), the first three seasons had a very epic soundtrack, spearheaded by a theme song that becomes doubly epic in season 2 when the extended version is revealed, [[https://youtu.be/jKC5B7k5r4w and has actual lyrics]]. All of this, alongside a robotic Asian dragon, Serpentera, weaving through stormclouds. The debut of the Ninja Zords did it one better... [[https://youtu.be/yUxcQINDnJw with a second verse.]]
10** "And we keep dreaming of a world where all was good as we were told, [[https://youtu.be/oW7OqO_lXTI We Need a Hero]]." Any old routine putty fight of the show, set to this music, becomes less obligatory and more awesome just by being set to it.
11** [[https://youtu.be/W6bKxjgEzrM "Tenga Bye Bye"]] is awesome music set to bizarre lyrics (to be fair, the Tengas were kinda ridiculous to begin with). It all combines into something really cool.
12* If Ron Wasserman is the king of Power Rangers music, his successors, Jeremy Sweet and Jim Cushinery should be nominated for a close second. They created their fair share of awesomeness as well, such as [[https://youtu.be/8u_R_vwy9Mo "Big Bang"]] and [[https://youtu.be/hd98V1kxMm4 "Invincible"]]
13* You think the original theme was good? Try listening to it when it's being covered by [[https://youtu.be/9ix8Vy3mEHk MASAAKI ENDOH]]!!! Your head will explode from the epicness.
14* Thought Lord Zedd's theme from the show was awesome? Wait till you hear the [[https://youtu.be/er-T5FjRc40 extended version]]!
15* Not only was "Go Go Power Rangers" used to build the theme for ''Zeo'', but a few chords are borrowed for the non-theme song "New Rangers to the Rescue" which debuted in ''Turbo''. The first two teams of the new Saban era, ''Samurai'' and ''Megaforce'' have their own remixes of "Go Go Power Rangers" used as their theme song. All awesome.
16** ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'': "Zeo Go! [[https://youtu.be/0vmUyduQYsw ZEO~!]]".
17** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'': "[[https://youtu.be/SYRJFTHNlqM SHIFT IN-TO TUR-BO! GOOO-OOOOOH!]]"
18** ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'': "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... [[https://youtu.be/HfVWU6flsUE Rangers... In space!]]"
19** ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'': "[[IncrediblyLongNote AHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!]] [[https://youtu.be/IR71bNVfen4 Rangers... Turn on the Power!! Power Rangers! (Lost!) Lost Galaxy!]]"
20** ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'': "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis LIGHT! SPEED!]] [[https://youtu.be/reRbINQO4b4 GOOOOOOOOOOO!]]"
21** ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'': "[[https://youtu.be/TU8Wrl_0AYQ TIME FORCE! TIME FORCE! POWER... RANGERS... GO~!]]"
22** ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'': [[https://youtu.be/wGJ6Y91VrrA WILD FORCE POWER RANGERS!]]
23** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'': [[https://youtu.be/iXVuLnnQ5X0 Dino Rangers roar!]]
24** ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'': [[https://youtu.be/d67UlCrzW7w SPD EMERGENCY!]] Also a Wasserman creation.
25** ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'': [[https://youtu.be/baI-Jm1D-oQ What could have been.]]
26** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'': [[https://youtu.be/lNKePAAfsRs Pow-er Ran-gers, Pow-er Ran-gers, Pow-er Ran-gers, Pow-er Ran-gers!]]
27** ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' has an epic theme song, with the only complaint being about it being unusually short - 30 seconds of awesomeness compared to the usual minute. [[https://youtu.be/GwqDBqhbF5Q Power Rangers... Go go Power Rangers!]]
28** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury'''s theme song is [[BrokenBase somewhat controversial]] due to the techno music contrasting with the mystical dinosaur theme, but it's generally agreed that whether or not it contrasts the subject, it sounds awesome, and the score in general is considered one of the best thanks to Bert Selen. [[https://youtu.be/_v3JsdU4API Dino Fury...]]
29* ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'': [[https://youtu.be/yw9HRUgo0cI "Samurai Morphing (Mega Mode/Folding Zords)"]] is a terrific piece that essentially indicates that: 1.) "stuff" just got real, and 2.) the Power Rangers Samurai are about to kick some ''serious'' butt.
30* Ron Wasserman then ''remixed'' his songs in 2012 for his ''[[http://ronwasserman.bandcamp.com/album/power-rangers-redux Power Rangers Redux]]'' album. Amplifies the awesome.
