This has proably been done before, but if so I want to do it again. :D

List your top ten anime themes in the format Anime - Song - Artist. They can be from films or series, but stick to opening / ending tracks as incedental music and image tracks get a bit obscure.

The Seatbelts - TANK (Cowboy Bebop)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1tmF2igtzw

Cyber City Oedo 808 opening theme (UK version). For once the UK version of something is better than the original. In this case the original was some lame pop effort. We got a cool electronic/dance version instead.

Oh and pretty much all of Cowboy Bebop could be nominated for best theme. Try and hunt down the soundtrack - all 7 discs of it!
 
"We Are" - Hiroshi Kitadani (One Piece)
"Colours" - Flow (Code Geass)
"CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA" - Hironobu Kageyama (Dragon Ball Z)
"Prism" - Ayako Ikeda (Dennou Coil)
"Dive in the Sky" - Mikio Sakai (Planetes)
"Inner Universe" - Yoko Kanno (Ghost In The Shell)
"PEGASUS FANTASY" - Some Random Guy? (Saint Seiya)
"Mystical Adventure" - Hironobu Kageyama (Dragon Ball)
"Tomorrow" - Mikuni Shimokawa (Full Metal Panic!)
"Bōken Desho Desho?" - Aya Hirano (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

..Yeah, I had to look some of the names up.
 
Wow, this took off! Thank you Rui, I don't know many of your choices sadly, but it's good to find new stuff to listen to as it is stuff to watch.

A few tracks are popping up several times (2nd Gig's "Rise" is particularly good) but everyone's lists are so far very different, which is nice.

I was going to say it myself, but decided against it, I've only listened to it a couple of hundred times since I downloaded it the other day.
