Zayle Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 One of the best things about Cowboy Bebop is definatley, the music. It plays a big role in the show and is simply amazing. I love "The Real Folk Blues" and "Tank", they are both certified classics on my list. :p The only anime song I like better than any of these is "Through the Night" from Outlaw Star. Well, I was just wondering what other members here at OB, thought about the music of this series. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Solid Snake Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 [color=teal]I have to admit, the music from Cowboy Bebop is extremely addictive, which I believe enhances the atmosphere when you watch it. Personally, I enjoy the music from Session #7: Heavy Metal Queen, which includes, ironically, heavy metal. I'm not saying that the other songs arn't cool too, because they are, I'm just listing this as a top favorite. My second favorite has to be the one when Faye gets back her memory, and Ed and Ein leave the Bebop. Maybe it was the heat of the moment, but that song really touched me deep inside.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 [color=royalblue] My favorite songs from CB would have to be Tank and Rain. I mean, how cool is a theme song be that starts off with "3,2,1, lets jam". It's awesome. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignatedawg Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The music on Cowboy Bebpo is great. I gotta say that my favorite bebop songs are tank, rush, and heavy metal queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyGirl Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=deeppink]The music of Cowboy Bebop is probably the best of [i]any[/i] show I've seen thus far. It always fits the mood perfectly...and the bebop jazz is great. Tank! is definitely one of the best peices of the series, but my favorite is probably Green Bird, the song that is playing as Spike is having flashbacks while falling out of the cathedral window (Session 5). I forget if it's anywhere else in the series...it very well may be :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I like "The Real Folk Blues" a lot. Ther have been a couple times when I'd skip the entire show, just to listen to it at the end...O.o. I wonder if they've ever made a Bebop soundtrack...probably not... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Favorite songs from CB...gosh I'd have to say that Tank is the best, followed by Blue, than Green Bird. Ava Maria and the Real Folk Blues are really good, and would probably tie for fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] I'm pretty sure there's four soundtracks... Ah, yes. Green Bird. That one's pretty good, but I'm still set on Rain. That song is great, and it really sets the mood for Spike and Viscious's battle. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]I forgot about that one...it's definitely another great one. I agree with the mood-setting part, it's such a simple song, nothing foreboding about it at all, and the clash of a light song with the obvious foreshadowing of battle makes it wonderfully delicious ;)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend, they have made three! There is "Cowboy Bebop: Original Soundtrack 1" (consisting of Tank!, Rush, Spokey Dokey, Bad Dog No Biscuit, Cat Blues, Cosmos, Space Lion, Waltz for Zizi, Piano Black, Pot City, Too Good Too Bad, Car24, The Egg and I, Felt Tip Pen, Rain, Digging My Potato, and Memory), "Cowboy Bebop No Disc - OST2" (consisting of American Money, Fantasie Sign, Don't bother none, Vitamin A, LIVE in Baghdad, Cats on Mars, Want it all back, Bindy, You make me cool, Vitamin B, Green Bird, ELM, Vitamin C, Gateway, The Singing Sea, The EGG and YOU, Forever Broke, and POWER OF FUNG FU REMIX), and, finally, "Cowboy Bebop Blue - OST3" (consisting of Blue, Words That We Couldn't Say, Autumn in Ganymede, Mushroom Hunting, Go Go Cactus Man, Chicken Bone, The Real Man, N.Y. Rush, Adieu, Call Me Call Me, Ave Maria, Stella By Moor, Flying Teapot, Wo Qui Non Coin, Road to the West, and Farewell Blues). Those are just the three main ones, but there are indeed three more. One of them is a soundtrack of the songs located in the motion picture "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and the other two are of some of the best songs in the series, of which can also be located in one of the three original soundtracks. Due to the clear interpretation of the new rules, I will not post the site that you could purchase this from here, but ask that anyone who would like it would please PM me.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 i also love the music. i wrote a thread entitled adult swim tunes a while back and it was about this very subject. i think the coolest is the instramental version of the real folk blues that they play as spikes on the way to his end. glad to see the threads here.

Heaven's Cloud Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=indigo] I am a huge fan of Cowboy Bebop, mainly because the music is so exceptional. "Rush" is one of my favorite songs, period, and Tank! , well Tank! has the opening of nearly any song ever. 3, 2, 1, Lets Jam![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I think that the song, Tank, is awesome, anime intro themes usually are, lol.... I didn't like heavy metal queen much though, it was ok, but I didn't think it was anything special.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ProudClod Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yeah, I have to admit that the music is COOL, especially the intro theme, its kind of embarrasing about the "3, 2 ,1..Lets Jam!!" thingy, especially when my parents are in the room, lol...:blush: Personally, animes have better music when in Japenese, for example, DBZs fight scenes have real cool music, but here in the UK with got something a little less promising....maybe for once we can have better music then in Japan!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] If you want embarrassing, try all of the idiotic lines in Dragonball...But yeah, I love how he says that, and I listen to that song all the time, it keeps me going. -Chibi [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geist Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [COLOR=blue]I would definitely have to agree with all of you, Yoko Kanno really does a great job on the music. The songs I like are, "Blue", "Wo Qui Non Coin", and especially "Papa Plastic". Sadly, I still can't find Papa plastic on any of the soundtracks. :([/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayle Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ProudClod [/i] [B]Dragonball's English theme song!! lol :) [/B][/QUOTE] The end song is pretty cool though, "Be as brave as you can be, a child like love a fantasie, make your dreams come true, you'll see fanasy, magic can happen to you". Ok, back to the subject, "Tank" and "The Real Folk Blues" are truly some of the best themes ever. But as Seph already said, the "Heavy Metal Queen" song was nothing extroidinary. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BurningOutlaw Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 [FONT=times new roman][COLOR=darkblue]Well ofcourse Tank! is a favorite but, I think that "The Real Folk Blues" is a very amazing track, as Justin said there have been times when I would skip through the whole show and listen to "The Real Folk Blues". But, I also have made my own soundtrack (what SS said) and well, it is in my CD player 24/7. I occasionally take it out to listen to my Outlaw Star tracks though![/COLOR][/FONT] -Outlaw :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DragonFist Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 [COLOR=crimson][FONT=courier new] Are you talking about the ones that I made for you? Heh, well as you said yes MY soundtracks are in his CD player 24/7. I am a big fan of CB, but he just takes it to another limit. He is always watching it when I come over to my house, he'll even go as far as to sneak dvds over to my house and watch them when I fall asleep. *shakes fist* even though I do the same thing to him woth Outlaw Star, that doesn't mean anything.[/FONT][/COLOR] -Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both rather impressive animes, but the songs in both differ, making them, in some aspects, more different from each other than anything else. Dragonball would example an anime with songs that are either just tunes, or are lacking indeffinitly. Cowboy Bebop, on the other hand, is known for it's exceptional song talent, especailly when compared to the songs on Dragonball, heh. That stupid ending song for Dragonball has to be one of the worst anime songs I've ever heard.[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
