Hunter x Hunter wins.

I might say FMAB, for the best composed.

But no one OST is "the best" to me, you can't exactly compare Jojo to Fate/Zero.

I really enjoy this soundtrack.
But this is probably my favorite anime song (only the AoT ed:1 comes as close)

Yuki Kajiura did a very good job with the soudtrack for the Kara no Kyoukai movies.

9 posters thus far, it would seem.
I think it's a good opportunity to check out music I haven't listened to yet.

This.

Samurai Champloo has the greatest OST of all time. Cowboy Bebop is a very close second.

A german band, singing in english, for anime.

Same guy that composed the rest of the OST, obviously not this particualr track, did the OST I linked above.

He made some good stuff, but a lot of it was pretty average.

To be honest, I can't remember anything other than the intro of Samurai Champloo when it comes to his work on anime OSTs.

not part of the official DBZ OST but this has to be mentioned

He produced a lot of the SC soundtrack with Fat Jon, and the reason you wouldn't have heard him in other anime OSTs would be because Champloo was the only anime he worked on.

Here is his first studio album, Metaphorical Music, which is absolutely fantastic.

Doesn't change anything I've said. Most of his stuff is pretty average/forgettable. However he does have some good stuff.

His only work in the anime industry shows this. Other than the intro I can't really recall much about it because it's just so damn generic.

I'd put my vote to pretty much anything Jun Maeda/(Maeda Jun - I can never remember which is his forname) has worked on <.<

Angel Beats, Clannad/AS and Little Busters for example.

With Angel Beats it the external stuff that really shines, ontop of the ones in the show. All the GDM songs that were written and released separately and all that.

Clannad's OST is brilliant though. It's certainly one of my favourites <.<
