Several of these examples are zero-context, several more have Word Cruft problems and/or misuse the conditional tense, and one of these isn't actually an example of music at all.


* The three intro songs used by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmUNaXIDZc8 the Ocean dub,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c8FzDm4Gbo Funimation dub,]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9RKjZi85g4 the original]] all have the distinction of being equally awesome.
* Practically any of the insert songs from ''DBZ'', such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMYt9sGOcTU Battle Point Unlimited]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm77VCkf_do Solid State Scouter]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4v9XIi674I Mind Power... Ki]]
* The first ''DBZ'' movie, ''Return My Gohan!/Dead Zone'': when Goku and Piccolo attack Garlic Jr. together, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP0ZglinbEM#t=7m32s you get this]] - a mix of Goku's and Piccolo's themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpkeAQG6kQw Perfect Cell's Theme]] also deserves a mention. It sounds like an evil techno/metal fusion. If only they actually played this version in the show. That said, the version they ''do'' have in the show that loops over and over is an ear worm.

* The various ''DBZ'' composers are considered a BrokenBase by their respective fanbases. The original composer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlenEgnLZPo#t=08s Shunsuke Kikuchi]], the [=FUNimation=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92v5Ysik8Wo Falconer Productions]] composer team, and even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhqsTy0W9sk Kenji Yamamoto]] who composed ''Kai'', most of the video games, and several insert songs for the original ''DBZ''.
* Vegeta's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GpeZBqKQWU Hell's Bells]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrogZTkvRxs Super Saiyan Theme]]. It goes without saying that these two themes are easily the most recognizable themes in all of the English Soundtrack, most due to how they would ''always'' play whenever something epic happened in the show, whether it was Vegeta or non-Vegeta related. They're also awesome tracks on their own.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s2Ksz7rpck Super Saiyan 3 Power Up Theme]]. Yet another theme that would always play when something epic would happen and was a great standalone theme on its own.
* While being nothing but a FillerVillain in the actual series after his BigBad status in the movie, Garlic Jr. was given [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQCIqnmibhg a pretty bitchin' leitmotif]].
* AwesomeMusic/CristinaDAvena performed the Italian rendition of ''What's my Destiny'' from ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. It starts out BedroomPop-ishy, and then she starts singing faster as the beat speeds up, and it sounds ''wonderful''. Not to mention the beautiful echoes at the end!
