Well, I really like all the music from Cowboy Bebop, and "Inner Universe", the song that is used in the opening for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is an amazing piece of music. I also like "Ride on Shooting Star" by the Pillows for FLCL.

I actually enjoy a lot of the Naruto openers/closers as well. Not all but I do like most. Especially the ones that lean more towards rock.

The first openers to Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny got me interested in T. M. Revolution.

These days I've been showing more interest in Maximum the Hormone but I don't really have Death Note to thank for that. We were watching MtH music videos at a friend's house and I got to hear stuff other than what was used in Death Note.

And Cowboy Bebop is just in a category by itself. :)

Haha. MtH. I've only heard their work on Death Note, but I love Zetsubou Billy. It's great cause I'm always listening to it, and if one of my friends sees it on MSN he always gets furious at me. xD

I also gotta say I love the op and ed for Jyu Oh Sei, Deep In Your Heart by Koichi Domoto (though I actually prefer the shortened TV version, the rest is kind of nonsense and almost creepy) and Te Wo Tsunaide by Younha. I've always liked anime music though. Besides Naruto, I've also found a few other animes like Mon Colle Knights (yes that show that used to be on FoxKids!), Digimon, and even Pokemon have nice music too. Surprisingly, Pokemon actually has a lot of beautiful eds, usually for the movies.

And I have to randomly plug the opening for Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai, Naraku No Hana. That anime just creeps me out, but I love that song. xD

Oh, and I know it doesn't count, but ANYTHING by Joe Hisashi is gorgeous and wonderful.

I got hooked onto Hisashi when I watched Howl's Moving Castle. Now that was just stunning.

But other than that I have to say that the Pokemon theme song is growing VERY slowly on me :P

I love the opening song for NARUTO Shippuden.
Ikimonogakari's "Blue Bird"

It doesn't seem to want to come out of my head :/

I actually read manga more than watch anime so I don't have so much of a department of anime songs but I do like the one AquaTimez did for BLEACH. And etc. :)
