How can one NOT vote Big O??

Trigun's soundtrack overall seems to be just average, but it's got quite a few songs which make them stand out above the rest

well from what there is to choose from, gonna have to side with Trigun. soundtrack is amazing. now to go find my opy of the soundtrack.

Well, I just voted for Big O, not out of favoritism, but because I think it genuinely has the best music of all those listed. Jazz seems to be underappreciated these days, and the Big O soundtrack has some very classy tunes on it that really set the tone and feel for different scenes of the show.

Vermillion

Well... I'd want to vote for Last Exile...

But I guess o the choices I'd choose the jazzy and ranged Big O. Instead of the more concentrated Bebop.

I hear that, Evan. Big O's soundtrack is some of the best and while Bebop is more concentrated, its smooth and elegant jazz and blues style is worth noting as well.

Nine XXVI's Picks: Big O, Cowboy Bebop
