| 11 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Bokura_no_LIVE_Kimi_to_no_LIFE "Bokura no LIVE, Kimi to no LIFE"]] is the song that ''started it all'' when the PV for it dropped in 2010. |
| 12 | * All the early µ's singles with [=PVs=] released prior to the anime count, but [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Snow_halation "Snow Halation"]], the second µ's album and single, is widely considered to be the best. It also plays in the last few episodes of season 2 of the anime. Fittingly, it was first released a few days before Christmas Day in 2010. Seeing it performed in concert drives the awesomeness home. Traditionally, wota bring out Ultra Orange glowsticks (designed to glow with greater intensity than normal glowsticks, but only lasting for around five minutes) for their personal highlights at concerts. During the final chorus of Snow Halation, ''everybody'' breaks out the Ultra Orange. You can see it in all its glory [[http://youtu.be/dix-lB_muio?t=3m3s here]]. |
| 13 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Natsuiro_Egao_de_1%2C2%2CJump! "Natsuiro Egao de 1,2,Jump!"]] is a fun and catchy summer track with Nico at the center. |
| 14 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Mermaid_festa_vol.1 "Mermaid Festa, Vol. 1"]] sounds like something to ballroom dance to. |
| 15 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Mogyutto_%22love%22_de_Sekkin_Chuu! "Mogyutto "love" de Sekkin Chuu!"]] is a catchy Valentine's Day track. |
| 16 | * [[https://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Aishiteru_Banzai! "Aishiteru Banzai!"]] is a fan favorite for its use in the anime as well as its simple beat and heartwarming message. |
| 17 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Wonderful_Rush "Wonderful Rush"]] is a standard bop until Maki sings the highest "Wonderful!!!" to start the bridge which is immediately followed by Nico's rap segment. |
| 18 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Bokura_wa_Ima_no_Naka_de "Bokura wa Ima no Naka de"]], the first opening song, is absolutely iconic, so much that it even appeared in the anime's second season as their encore performance. |
| 19 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/WILD_STARS "WILD STARS"]] is a cool electric piece. What really stands out is Nico's '''very''' deep voice, which goes even deeper than ''Umi's'' voice at times. The SOLO MIX versions stand out even among other solo songs in the franchise as they are {{Solo Duet}}s between the character and her voice actress! |
| 20 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Kaguya_no_Shiro_de_Odoritai "Kaguya no Shiro de Odoritai"]] is an amazing disco piece that's so fun to dance and sing along to, it's no wonder they chose Nico to be the center for it. |
| 21 | * [[https://tinyurl.com/yxecn9xb "Susume→Tomorrow"]], the first song played in the anime, is very energetic and upbeat. Also, when Honoka sings the iconic opening lines, expect it to be followed by a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. |
| 22 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/START:DASH!! "START:DASH!!"]] is what kickstarted µ's rise to fame in-universe, and it shows. |
| 23 | * [[https://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/No_brand_girls "No brand girls"]] generates a lot of hype, especially in concerts, due to its highly intense instrumentals coupled with its highly energetic calls. |
| 24 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/LOVELESS_WORLD "LOVELESS WORLD"]] has a very Music/{{Dragonforce}} vibe to it. The harmonies during the final chorus are also ridiculously nice to listen to. |
| 25 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Takaramonozu "Takaramonozu"]] is top notch and energetic. One can't help but sing along to it. |
| 26 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Sore_wa_Bokutachi_no_Kiseki "Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki"]], the second season's opening, is flowing with goodness. The B-side to the single, [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Datte_Datte_Aa_Mujou "Datte Datte Aa Mujou"]], is as hauntingly heartbreaking as it is overwhelmingly amazing. The live version is even better, as it features pyrotechnics. |
| 27 | * μ's directly competes with A-RISE in the anime by performing [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Yume_no_Tobira "Yume no Tobira"]] with its beautiful soft intro, a rocking main melody and inspirational lyrics. It gets added importance to the franchise when Riko sings a piano version of the song in ''Sunshine'' before joining Aqours. |
| 28 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Dancing_stars_on_me! "Dancing stars on me!"]] is a catchy track on its own but the real beauty of it is during live concerts where Nozomi's dancing takes center stage. |
| 29 | * There's something sad yet beautiful about [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/KiRa-KiRa_Sensation! "KiRa-KiRa Sensation"]], the song the group performs at [[spoiler:the finals of the Love Live.]] They went for a grand finale, and they truly delivered. |
| 30 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Happy_maker! "Happy Maker!"]], as the name implies, is pretty good at putting a smile on your face. It's also the last song of season 2, giving the anime series a cheery closure. |
| 31 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/HEART_to_HEART! "HEART to HEART!"]] from the second ''School Idol Festival'' collaboration single is a fast paced bop. |
| 32 | * The final single, [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/MOMENT_RING MOMENT RING]] and its B-side [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Sayounara_e_Sayonara! Sayounara e Sayonara!]], marks the end of an era with a big thanks and a promise to meet again. |
| 33 | * The 9th anniversary single, [[https://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/A_song_for_You!_You%3F_You!! "A song for You! You? You!!"]], will surely bring tears to any μ's fan as the girls perform once again and sound like they never went on hiatus in the first place! |

| 38 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Spicaterrible "Spicaterrible"]] is one of the darker sounding songs as Kotori's solo. |
| 39 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Koi_no_Signal_Rin_rin_rin! "Koi no Signal Rin Rin Rin!"]] is a great display of Rin's cuteness. |
| 40 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Kodoku_na_Heaven "Kodoku na Heaven"]] predates the anime and features a deep mature voice for Hanayo. |
| 41 | * What do you get when the girls with the [[AudioErotica best singing voices]] collaborate for a jazz song? Why, [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Soldier_game "soldier game"]], of course! |
| 42 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Arifureta_Kanashimi_no_Hate "Arifureta Kanashimi no Hate"]] is Eli's wonderful solo, notable for its heartbreaking lyrics. |
| 43 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/after_school_NAVIGATORS "after school NAVIGATORS"]] is a cool metal song by [=NicoRinPana=] about [[MundaneMadeAwesome hanging out and eating with your friends]]. |

| 46 | [[folder: Blu-Ray Bonus Singles]] |
| 47 | * Season 1: |

| 49 | ** [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Beat_in_Angel "Beat in Angel"]] makes you want to [[Manga/InitialD have Maki and Rin ride with your Toyota AE86 while making tofu deliveries early in the morning on a mountain pass]]. |
| 50 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnJlScmzR3w "Garasu no Hanazono"]], which is dripping with LesYay between Nozomi and Eli. |
| 51 | * Season 2: |
| 52 | ** Like "Koi no Signal Rin Rin Rin!", Rin's solo [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Kururin_MIRACLE "Kururin MIRACLE"]], is utterly adorable and will have you smiling by the end. |
| 53 | ** [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Storm_in_Lover "Storm In Lover"]] is a catchy samba song which is filled with LesYay between Umi and Eli. The live version is one of the few songs to feature pyros in their performance, with the others being [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/LOVELESS_WORLD "LOVELESS WORLD"]] and [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Datte_Datte_Aa_Mujou "Datte Datte Aa Mujou"]]. |
| 54 | ** [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Moshimo_Kara_Kitto "Moshimo Kara Kitto"]] is a slow paced song that captures Nozomi's softer side perfectly. |
| 55 | ** [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Suki_desu_ga_Suki_desu_ka%3F "Suki desu ga, Suki desu ka?"]] is retro disco awesomeness. |

| 58 | [[folder: The School Idol Movie]] |
| 59 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Hello,_Hoshi_o_Kazoete "Hello, Hoshi wo Kazoete"]] by the first years sounds like you are actually in a carnival; the bridge even takes you to Broadway. |
| 60 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Angelic_Angel "Angelic Angel"]] is a calmer and more lighthearted piece performed by µ's while they were in New York, featuring the girls in kimonos and using glowing folding fans as part of their dance choreography. |
| 61 | * [[https://tinyurl.com/y6gw5lun "?←HEARTBEAT"]] by the third years is [[NarmCharm as ridiculous as it is fun.]] |

| 63 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Bokutachi_wa_Hitotsu_no_Hikari "Bokutachi wa Hitotsu no Hikari"]]: The final song of µ's for the final live.

(in-universe). |

| 68 | [[folder: Printemps (Honoka, Kotori, Hanayo)]] |
| 69 | Printemps performs songs about [[AllLoveIsUnrequited longing]] very, very well: |
| 70 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Love_marginal "Love Marginal"]] is a song about unrequited love which sounds as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. |
| 71 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/UNBALANCED_LOVE "UNBALANCED LOVE"]] from their second single is another song about unrequited love and is just as wistful. |
| 72 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Eien_Friends "Eien Friends"]] is a cute, bubbly and happy song, notable for its catchy chorus, about a [[LyricalDissonance friendship that is taken for granted and might not be forever.]] |
| 73 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Nightingale_Love_song "Nightingale Love Song"]] from the third single is distilled 80's J-Pop goodness, and is very inspired by the work of Vince [=DiCola=]. |
| 74 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/NO_EXIT_ORION "NO EXIT ORION"]] continues the trend begun by the previously mentioned songs.

| 80 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Cutie_Panther "Cutie Panther"]], their second single, is a spiritual successor to the Cutey Honey theme song, bringing it up to the present. |
| 81 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Natsu,_Owaranai_de "Natsu, Owaranai de"]], is smooth, somber, and showcases the power of [=Nanjolno=]'s voice very well. |
| 82 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Fuyu_ga_Kureta_Yokan "Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan"]] is atypical of the usual energetic and upbeat songs [=BiBi=] is known for as it's a slow, somber winter love song. The last chorus stands out with its duality of feelings: [=Nanjolno=] and [=Pile=]'s dramatic and uplifting delivery contrasts well with [=Soramaru=]'s monotonic and somber delivery in the background, evoking bittersweet feelings to the listener. |
| 83 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Sakkaku_CROSSROADS "Sakkaku CROSSROADS"]] is everything awesome about J-Pop in the 90s, topped off with Pile's amazing solos. |

| 89 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Binetsu_Kara_Mystery "Binetsu Kara Mystery"]] is an exhibition of the unit's vocal harmonies. Umi's solo in particular stands out. |
| 90 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Aki_no_Anata_no_Sora_Tooku "Aki no Anata no Sora Tooku"]] is an example of the aforementioned NostalgiaFilter, resembling something from the 80s. |
| 91 | * [[http://love-live.fandom.com/wiki/Shunjou_Romantic "Shunjou Romantic"]] is Rin's proof that she has continued to evolve from "Love Wing Bell". |

| 107 | * [[https://youtu.be/pnHfYlO5zwU "Kanashimi no Yoru" (Night of Sadness)]] is a bittersweet piece that plays when [[Tearjerker/LoveLive µ's cried their hearts out at that train station...]] |
