Does anyone know the name of the piece of music in Naruto where it's a solemn/sad piano song? I seriously want to play that on piano, but it seems the first piano book is out of print... *pout*

A transcription to that piece of music shouldn't be too hard, so it might be easy enough to find one online, if I know the name of it =).

Agreed about the Orochimaru ~fight~ thing, Aion, love that piece of music immensely.

EDIT: Found it, it's called Shadow and Sorrow. Found the music too, yay.

I hope I can find the official book somewhere.
 
L's theme is pretty good, though it's quite clearly a rip of the Exorcist theme.

Here's mine, but it's only from OSTs I have on my PC.

Noriko - Aim for the Top! OST
Buster Machine March - Aim for the Top! 2 OST

Meteor - Gundam SEED OST
 
My list isn't an ultimate version; it changes all the time. I had to remove nearly all my selections on my year(ish) old list to make way for the Death Note music... There's WAY too much good DN mudic, on the 3rd OST in particular.
 
Ummm i'll mention a few of my favourites but they change all the time so it would be hard to make a definitive list:

One more time, One more chance ~ from the last scene of 5CM Per Second
Player ~ Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society [kind of an opening -___-;;]
Monochrome ~ Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd GIG
Cyberbird ~ Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd GIG
Procession of Gods ~ Spirited Away
Sayuri's Melody ~ The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Turn Over ~ Naruto
Number One ~ Bleach
Arrancar {spanish} Music [?? dunno the real name] ~ Bleach
 
Heres my List, I have so many that I like it was hard so its just a few I can remember off the top of my head :)

Aura ~ .hack//sign Ost
Lynch's mood ~ Devil may cry Ost
Requiem for the lost ones ~ Bleach Ost 1
Makubex ~ Get backers Ost
Rin'ne ~ Elfen Lied Ost
Calculator can not help you ~ Gungrave Left head ost
Rain ~ Cowboy bebop Ost
Senkou ~ Elfen Lied Ost
A Fly on the Wall ~ Chobits Ost 2
Kei ~ Full metal Alchemist Ost
 
In no particular order

Vocal
Hitorijime - GUMI (Cardcaptor Sakura)
I Hear You Everywhere - Rie Tanaka (Chobits)
Ask DNA - Raju Ramayya (Cowboy Bebop)
I Think I Can - The Pillows (FLCL)
Mell Mag - Eufonius (Clannad)
Number One - Hazel Fernandes (Bleach)
Beyond - Fumiko Orikasa & Houko Kuwashima (Chobits)
Last Regrets (Acoustic Version) - Ayana/Key (Kanon 2006)
Ningen Dakara - Megumi Toyoguchi (Chobits)
Arekara - Mikuni Shimokawa (Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu)

BGM
Ruins of a Dream (Kanon 2006)
When I Wait For the Wind (Kanon 2006)
Morning, Morning (Chobits)
The Two of Us (Chobits)
Morning Shadows (Kanon 2006)
Ridge of Frozen Soil (Kanon 2006)
Winter Fireworks (Kanon 2006)
Portrait of Tenderness (Chobits)
Love of Babble (Chobits)
Raising the Fighting Spirit (Naruto)

The OSTs for both Kanon and Chobits are near flawless. I know it seems weird to have a Naruto one in there, but that piece of music gets me pumped up.
 
I take it you lot (aimed at AnimeUKers in general) aren't a very musical bunch? :|

It's too hard for me to list very well. Death Note will dominate any of my anime music lists due to the soundtrack being even better than the series itself, but I find it hard to list others. I didn't even manage to fit in any FMA music...

Why do you say that? I love music!

But with anime i don't get hold of a lot of OSTs also, i love a lot of OPs and EDs.
Thus i don't know the names of alot of tracks.
But musically, i quite enjoyed FMA, there were some really nice track there. I LOVE all the GitS music. I love all of Tenmon's music for Shinkais films. Bleach and Naruto had their moments. And One Piece has some cool upbeat tracks. Hellsings music was good, Negima!s music was awesome [shame they spent most of the budget on the audio] and i don't remember much about Chobits' music~ couldn't have stood out much then.

To be honest i was just picking series off the top of my head to illistrate that i do have an opinion on alot of music, I just picked out quite a few of my favourites which i know the names of.
