Re: Top 5 favorite themes from all the versions of DBZ?
Hi,
I'm lost with all those name.

Where come from the title of number 5 "Goodbye Son Goku" ?
I know this song is from the movie 09 "Ginga Giri-Giri Butchigiri No Sugoi Yatsu" when Gohan kill Bojack, but i have never seen this name for him.

Idem for the number 4. He is just a variation of Genkidama sound (movie 07) .
Why he got his own name ?
Other variations, like for Cha-la Head Cha-la, do not have their own name.
So, those names are coming from a specific compilation or ?
I can't do a top 5

I need a top 10 at least.

Re: Top 5 favorite themes from all the versions of DBZ?
Man, these lists are great. Really have to do some listening.
It would really only be Z original and Faulconer. Both original and dub GT are pretty nondescript, aren't they? Then there's Yamamoto's plagiarism. Haven't heard much of the new stuff. Do video games count?
Is Solid State Scouter too much of a cliche as no.1? Maybe I love it so much because the movie is so great.

Haha, I love some of these tracks. I am literally obsessed with rap music. Have you heard Chrono Jigga? Someone definitely needs to do that for DBZ.Kikuchi>Mozart wrote:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... amN4OL79W9Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:Man, these lists are great.
