7It's no surprise that [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender one of the most acclaimed children's cartoons]] would have an equally epic soundtrack.
8----
9%%* The version of the InstrumentalThemeTune used for a ThemeMusicPowerUp, the music during both Aang's fights [[http://audio.avatarspiritmedia.net/treetopbattle.mp3 with Jet]] and the Yu Yan archers, and the Agni Kai music. [[http://www.myspace.com/thetrackteammusicandsound Listen (to a couple) for yourself]].
10* Everything from the GrandFinale, particularly the music playing during Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai, appropriately titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFnnNijn_OI "The Last Agni Kai".]] It is dramatic and intense, and its mournful tone underscores just how tragic the situation really is.
11%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwpnkvMgaEE music]] that plays during [[spoiler:the final between Ozai and Aang, after the latter goes into the Avatar State, more specifically the part after Azula's complete breakdown]]. The song was also used again in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfKorra'' game [[spoiler: just before the final boss]].
12* Even the end credits music for the final episode was awesome. Throughout most of the series, the end credits were accompanied by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3gt5LjU1ZE a fairly neutral-mood, tribal-sounding percussion and flute piece]]. This was replaced for the GrandFinale with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-BiLeej0Y4 fully orchestrated, epic variation]] on the show's main theme that really hammered home the fact that yes, it's finally over, and it was '''good'''. Now if they'd only release a soundtrack...
13%%* The music that plays as [[spoiler: Aang goes into the Avatar State and merges with La the Ocean Spirit, and then proceeds to annihilate the Fire Nation Navy]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qbd4R6uYHU Hear it here.]]
14%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmtD4-WfhMw Secret Tunnnnnel! Secret Tunnel!]]
15%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czvjVS5bhFA Azula's Theme.]]
16%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoeUzHXVM2w Aang's Theme]].
17* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjfO9TxCjsQ The Blue Spirit]]. When you hear this, you know whatever happens next is going to be BAD. ASS.
18* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJafRYJHec0 Season 3 Trailer Music]], and the remix used in the sequel series trailer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGnN1DBDxaw Pure Awesomeness.]] It turns out that the "remix" was simply a video speed error that sped up the original song, but the "wrong" version is still pretty cool.
19* In subsequent airings of "Sozin's Comet", the four parts were broken up, with a "Previously on Avatar" recap for each. The music playing during the recap for "Part 4: Avatar Aang", is pure, distilled awesome, and you just know that whatever happens from there on out is going to be spectacularly EPIC. There's a short, [[http://www.freewebs.com/avatar322/Avatar%203x21%20Recap.mp3 high-quality version]] and a full-length, [[http://www.freewebs.com/avatar322/Avatar%203x18-3x21%20Recap.mp3 low-quality version.]] Prepare to feel the AWESOME.
20* "Leaves from the Vine," for all its sadness[[note]]both in-universe (where Iroh sings it before an impromptu shrine to his late son, Lu Ten) and out of it (as Creator/{{Mako}}-''san'' recorded it in his last session before he died)[[/note]], is also a very soothing song, with its gentle strings and Iroh's soft, understated vocals.
21* The awesome battle drums in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blt7Rp4TJGo Invading the Palace]]", when [[spoiler:the Gaang make their way to the Earth King in the eponymous episode]].
22%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnwNkmW2sK0 Bending Energy]]", as Aang [[spoiler: defeats Ozai with Energy-bending]].
23* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDMy6EhDu0Q Tsungi Horn]]," which is considered Zuko's primary motif (playing during scenes where he's at war with himself over his motivations), is just downright haunting.
24* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53rCO8BsKwU The Avatar's Love]]" played when the original series was [[SealedWithAKiss concluded with Aang and Katara's passionate kiss under a beautiful sunset sky]].
25* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcQVR9SX1VY Cave Jivin']]" -- the track that plays during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdsB99HQ2S8 Aang's secret dance party]] -- is frantic, free-wheeling, and spirited; it'll have you cutting a rug from the first note.
26* It's a damn shame that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7f7qDT07Mw "Scarf Dance"]] (which was written for a scene in [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheHeadband "The Headband"]] where Sokka was supposed to dance by himself) never made it into the show proper -- it's stirring and zesty, and will make you want to dance along.
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJJjIc4401I "Agni Kai"]] -- the track that accompanies Zuko's duel with Zhao -- is sure to set your heart pounding.
28* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhIwFSukkOU "Iroh's Speech"]], the soundtrack for when Iroh rallies Team Avatar (minus Aang) to go forth and face their destinies in the final battle on the day of Sozin's Comet -- and to have faith that Aang will defeat Ozai when it all comes to an end.
29%%* This list wouldn't be complete without [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-GiYP_4qc0 "Secret Tunnel"]].
