* From ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'' we have [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x16q4yq_flash-back-2012-ai-oboete-imasuka-traducido_shortfilms "Ai, Oboete Imasu ka?"]] (aka "Do You Remember Love?"), sung by Lynn Minmay in the final battle (in the original series, she sang [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY2jwnDyURo "Ai wa Nagareru"]], which was, only partially ''appropos'' to the surrounding battle, an [[SoundtrackDissonance anti-war song]]). [[http://vibeclouds.net/tracks/ai_oboete_imasu_ka_nakajima.html This was also sung by Ranka Lee]] while under Grace O'Connor's control in the final battle of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', here used by the antagonists to keep control of the Vajra. Minori Suzuki, the voice actress and singer of Freyja Wion in ''Anime/MacrossDelta'', also sang [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuECM8uugIM this song]] in its original arrangement. Except [[WhatCouldHaveBeen this song was never presented in the actual show;]] instead an instrumental piece and a different version sang by Mikumo was shown in the final episode.

** Three epic and surreal pieces from ''Plus'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq_bRe83U3E "A Sai Ên"]] from when the [[spoiler:Macross is lifting off]], [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x25f1h7_macross-pluss-the-cream-puff-santi-u_music "Santi-U"]] which switches into an absolutely ''electrifying'' sequence at 4:00 in good Yoko Kanno fashion and the third is "Voices", the hauntingly beautiful theme song of the series (whether in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkToH34xuhY Japanese]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEWLj_unfHA English]]). For added "Voices" goodness, listen to its [[http://junglevibe2.net/tracks/voices_macross_acoustic.html acoustic]] and [[http://junglevibe2.net/tracks/voices_macross_a_capella_ost.html acappella]] versions.

** Later on in the show, we have Basara's signature track, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw58J_NlFPg Try Again]]". It's a song that [[spoiler: literally shakes the entire universe]].

** [[http://musicinanime.tumblr.com/post/144298431899/ikenai-border-line-walk%C3%BCre-anime-macross-delta "Ikenai Borderline"]] is fun, energetic idol pop with a hefty IntercourseWithYou tone to it's lyrics.

** Episode 11 gives us a soulful, melancholic cover of [[Anime/Macross7 Fire Bomber's]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqxAt0trOWs Remember 16]]" by Chuck's siblings, sung during a gathering meant to remember [[spoiler: Messer, who had just died in the previous episode]].

** Two words: ''[[https://youtu.be/ibelY7e1WeQ BURNING FIRE]]''! An energetic rock song so awesome and completely captures the essence of being a kick-ass pilot of a Valkyrie, it became the opening song for the second game of the VideoGame/MacrossFrontierTrilogy!

** The episode before that brings up Kaname's "AXIA -Daisuki de Daikirai-" as one of the show's great songs too.

** Episode 11 has the awesome rendition of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsCRMbZbZVo Giraffe Blues]]" that starts a cappella with each of the voices of Walkure coming into the song, until Kaname finally comes and takes the lead, before the instruments kick in.

** The first ending theme [[http://musicinanime.tumblr.com/post/144158816227/rune-ga-pikatto-hikattara-walk%C3%BCre-anime-macross "Rune ga Pikatto Hikattara"]] is a fun song that combines bits of pop, funk, jazz, R&B, disco and more into something that wouldn't be out of place in an Music/EarthWindAndFire concert. The single also debuted near the top of the Oricon charts and was for a time, the number 1 song on Japanese iTunes store, Amazon Japan and [=AmiAmi=].

** The second ending theme, "Hametsu no Junjo" is decent enough on its own. In episode 18 however, Mikumo busts out a galaxy shaking [[https://youtu.be/NV9l3vBxU2Y?t=2m55s solo a cappella rendition]] that ends up rocking every planet in the local cluster, causes the protoculture ruins in them to resonate, and even knocks Prince Heinz off his feet in awe.
