"Arguably", perhaps, but I'm going to say "no it isn't".

It was a struggle to sit through the whole thing before posting this.

Having said that, those aren't intended to be stand alone pieces.

Meh, I've heard better. You're just a Gurren Lagan fan or whatever right? Not to be rude, but I don't think a song from an anime is the pinnacle of musical genius. Not to ruin your otaku parade or anything....just saying.

Yeah..."arguably" is a bit of an understatement

I mean in such general terms you're throwing that up against things like this:


This:

And this:
Mind you, that's a good number despite the fact that Gerard Butler is often noted to NOT have the singing voice required for that role.

And that' not even scratching the surface of the competition

haha, no offence taken. I was just so hyped that I found the song, that's all.

Honestly, I see little musical brilliance in music created without the use of any real instruments with a drum sound which sounds like it comes from an 80's action movie.

I'm gonna' offer a few so I'll spoiler tag them for ease, since everyone's got their own greatest here I mine (I think games do music better than films or TV 90% of the time).

(Start at 0:30)




And now for my current greatest musical pieces scene ever!

Ever? Personally I'm a sucker for mournful piano pieces.



The real test for any artistic medium is the test of time I feel. Within a few years the vast majority of music will be forgotten and only those pieces truly remarkable stand out and over the decades even those are whittled down in number. If people are still talking about that bit of music a hundred years from now you might be onto something... I very much doubt it, but we'll see.

I'm going to join in with the chorus of 'no'. You're going up against this:

I beg to differ (and I love Gurrne Lagann)-
Openning credits music to a film usually doesn't leave an impression on me but by god this music score is godly!

Just what popped into my head right away. The game had some awesome music throughout, but the end theme was just... amazing.

LOL, that... is... epic! XD
Haven't played the game in shit long, but my memories of it will never be the same again!

OT: Yeah... uh... no...

I'll go for


for soundtrack music (this track in general I Don't Think Now is the Best Time, but particularly the 'Cuttler's Death' section)... not that many composers beat Hans Zimmer.

As for music in general... *meh* take your pick, though I like:


I maintain that this is a superior piece of organ music than the Toccata & Fugue in D-minor for all it's popularity.


?!?! Probably one of the most out of tune recorded versions on Youtube I've heard... *meh* I'll find a better one later...



Why yes, I do like classical music... -_-

Shit man, the first vid is definitely one of my all time top 5 pieces of music. My skins a crawl all the way through it. I have heard music that is technically and critically superior, but that piece is just sublime to my ears. Shame it's so short, but it is what it is.

As for the OP, I would say "arguably" doesn't quit fit the bill to how most people would feel... it's a good piece for a good anime, but it's not a standalone wonder.

I could be somewhat pretentious and list out some of the great historical pieces, or recent generations "legends" but I have a humble passion for music and no particular preference in genre, style or technique. As long as no angsty twit or some lustful chauvinist isn't shouting at me I'm fine with most forms of music.

My submission would have to be the track I mentioned above as it is less controversial to some of my other choices.
