Crowning Music of Awesome

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

What's your Crowning Music of Awesome (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/CrowningMusicOfAwesome)?

What music will you turn on when the zombies come?
What will you turn your iPod to when the old lady at the post office (http://xkcd.com/337/) pulls out a katana?
When you're fighting your arch nemesis over the pit of flaming acid while being attacked on all sides by flying piranhas with ray guns, what dramatic music will be playing in the background?

Basically, what's your favorite piece of really epic (preferably battle) music?

Personally, I'm a fan of many action movie soundtracks, especially Pirates of the Carribean. Also, Final Countdown (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw), Thrust Through the Heavens With Your Spirit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l__jSgTAmQ), and the Last Night on Earth soundtrack.

[Jack Squat]

Enter the Haggis - No More Stones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLBYj2GY2JY)
The Warrior Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTs6a0ORdQU)
Ride of the Valkyries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3Cc7wlfkI)
Gun - Steal Your Fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRl5OtQ9R0s)
and of course
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnRqYMTpXHc)

[Coplantor]

This is when I'm about to do something awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMxtI7QfpWk)
This will be the BGM during the epic duel of me and my nemesis. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVQaixvlMwo)
Now, there can be only two possible outcomes, I get out of his evil lair in a motorcycle whilñe slashing every sinmgle mmok with a katana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BplIrU1Sdtc) or I silently walk away while the lair blows up into a million pieces! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wattjJtPT80)
This is what you will hear when me and my friends find out that we hold a great power within us and that we are thefreaking chosen ones! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrXiaPVeHY)
This when I meet my girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgT_mJXbvCQ)
This one is reserved for the fight with my rival (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-KlzfV8_DI) wich will be cooler than the fight with my nemesis because after that we join forces!
This at my funeral (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo) (Seriously)
And if I ever do a movie about myself, the opening scene will be a lot of coplantors marching down my city's main street at the rythm of This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ6GzmrGHOY)

[Totally Guy]

All instances of this Leitmotif from Lost (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DljIDNw4EW4&feature=PlayList&p=3E1ABD9940EF2A6B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=33).

[Athaniar]

Moskau (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQAKRw6mToA), of course, it's my favorite song. But when it comes to pure awesomeness, this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrXiaPVeHY) is probably even more awesome.

My attention span has been thoroughly beaten.

[Swordgleam]

Blackmore's Night - All for One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-Jj3RVDdoM)
And pretty much any other Blackmore's Night song. Olde Village Lantern is also great for epic scenes, as is The Storm.

[Trobby]

Oohh...this is always fun. :smallbiggrin:

Get Back - The Beatles
This, I think, with a little rockin' up, could be a great "Break In" song for kicking down a door and proceeding to open up a can of whoopass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6G7MkBMVxE)

Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
This is for the big dance number/dace-based choreographed fight. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUBwjyhRweQ)

Fact To Face - Iji
THIS is for the massive shootout between me and my rival, in an industrial warehouse, with guns blazing and both of us trying to crush each other under boxes and girders, while chasing each other and trying to gain the advantage, all the while police helicopters are circling the building, and since they want us both dead, if we're even spotted once, we're as good as dead. (Absolute favorite) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SHOvWhti98)

Act 2-2 - Ninja Gaiden II
And this would play while I'm trying to escape my rival's hidden lair. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2_IqhFueF4&feature=PlayList&p=2A6778BF6FB19BA0&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=47) (I tried to find a remix, but damn if the "New" Ninja Gaiden II isn't hogging up all the search results on Youtube...)

[Felixaar]

How do Pirahna's hold ray guns without opposing thumbs?

Or thumbs at all, opposing or otherwise?

But seriously though, Dragonforce or Hans Zimmer. Or possibly something Folky - James Taylor, Archie Roach, Eva Cassidy, Cat Stevens (I could go on)?
