Favorite genre music?

[AJBryant]

I was working on a book the other day, and decided to go "music only" for the background noise instead of the TV.

Worked like a charm. Thank you, iTunes.

But as I was listening to some of my favorite music over and over, I found myself wondering:

What are people's THREE (3!) favorite genre tunes?

If you can, link to a YouTube track so we can hear 'em.

Mine are:

Inama Nushif, from "Children of Dune"
Kara Remembers, from "BSG"
and
Song of Freedom from "Doctor Who."

All of them hit me in a visceral way. For some reason, "Song of Freedom" always makes me tear up. But I love it.

Okay, what are YOUR three?

I'm afraid my favorites are all from Battlestar Galactica. Bear McCreary rocks.

There are so many! (This is a film guy guy, here...lol)

Off the top of my head:

1. The Battle of Hoth from Empire Strikes Back (John Williams)

This entire theme is one of the most powerful in cinema, I think. It is also one of the most powerful battle scenes in film.

2. Legends of the Fall by James Horner

Can I count this as 'one'?

I never saw this film, but this soundtrack is soooo moving, so powerful; it evokes the Old West. Like many of Horner's themes, it tells a story.

3. Storming New Caprica by Bear McCreary

This theme is intense.

Like I mentioned with Horner's theme for Legends of the Fall, it tells a story. McCreary's theme puts you in the action, and gives you an idea of what is going on with the Rebel Allian---er, the Colonials...

There are many more I can think of, but these come to mind.

Battle of the Heroes (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith)
Duel of the Fates (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace)
Torkia (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex)

I could on, but sadly I'm limited to 3.

Bear most certainly does rock. "Kara Remembers" gives me goosebumps!

Not composed for the show, but No Hiding Place Down Here from Babylon 5 And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place is pretty damn memorable.

Gotta say -- I'm kind of disappointed so few people actually seem to listen to music.
