Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts - Tank!

http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90/Cowboy+Bebop%3A+O.S.T.+1/Tank%21

Quite possibly one of the best theme songs in the world. Cowboy Bebop. What a show. I don't get in to too much anime, but this one took a bunch of my favorite things (space westerns, bounty hunters, the loner character, sci-fi, welsh corgis, and stylish action) and combined it all with smooth jazz. The way Cowboy Bebop used music should be a lesson for all those movies who just throw a heavy rock song over all the action sequences and call it good. Also the dark, noir-esque story is just brilliant. And let me also just say, Im glad it was only one season. The creators told the story and finished it and didn't look back which I also think should be done with current TV series and movies. Stop beating dead horses, Hollywood.
