When I see the title of the tread I somehow hear the first seconds of Evangelion - although I don't really like it.

Cowboy Bebop OP Tank!
TANK!!!!!

Open your Mind from <Ah! My Goddess> was a nice relaxing OP if you're not wanting to go too high energy.
Crossing Field from SAO
The group Radwimps have done quite a few songs, either as OP/ED for anime or as main themes for films like Your Name
The OP from Spice and Wolf is another one that I could listen to for hours.

The lists we could make here would literally go on til the end of time.

Best anime opening ever. Bonus, anyone who watches the whole thing is bound to learn how to say "cat ears" in Japanese.

If we are talking music in Naruto Akeboshi's wind would be SS tier

Also, @Paul_Tromba if you are going to bring up Lain I think I should match something equally as classic.

Is it bad that I've seen every single one of these? I would check out Lain. The story is excellent and the op is phenomenal.
Also, @Paul_Tromba if you are going to bring up Lain I think I should match something equally as classic.
I did not expect to see Tenchi Muyo here. It's pretty good but boring at times.
