All Time Favorite Piece of Dragon Ball Music
It can be anything from Faulconer to Kikuchi to even a theme in a video game, but out of all the original music that has been made for the Dragon Ball franchise, what is your favorite? And if you can't decide between two or a few then just post all three.

M1420- Gathering Energy for the Genkidama
The first time I listened to this was by accidentally watching the fight with Super 13 with Japanese music instead of the Funimation dub soundtrack (I'm a dubbie). Immediately I had to watch the fight again and again just for the atmosphere and emotion this piece gave. It gave so much weight to the other Z-fighters trying to buy time for Goku and also gave the genki-dama a very spiritual feel. Easily my all time favorite piece of Dragon Ball music.

The Monster Freeza Vs. The Legendary Super Saiyan
Just a classic, timeless track that carries a bombastic, suspenseful lemotif that no other original track for any other Dragon Ball anime has yet to duplicate.

Lost Courage from Tenkaichi 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8A7BOK9NrE
It doesn't really sound like something you'd hear from Dragon Ball, hell, it sounds like something you'd hear in Tekken... but I'd be lying if I told you that I wish Dragon Ball didn't sound more like this. It's just such a pump up track. I feel like whooping some ass whenever I hear this song. Tenkaichi 2 is one of my favourite video game soundtracks, I like it more than the official soundtracks for the anime series.

Re: All Time Favorite Piece of Dragon Ball Music
Possibly this piece from the fourth Z movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bl7oPgTjHI&index=16
It gives the feeling of a titanic clash, while suggesting cataclysmic collateral damage. This just so happens to befit Namek's last minutes.

Dun-dun-dun (Z Movie 3): https://youtu.be/7-xnERWwMsU?t=3m27s
It's probably this one. I think I love this track for how well-placed it is in the original Z anime, occurring, to my memory, as Goku challenges Freeza and as Gohan first achieves Super Saiyan after a string of memories about times he couldn't help ("Ano toki mo .."). So good. They really saved it for moments when it would hit home.

Kikuchi's Android theme (Z Movie 5): https://youtu.be/FPjJIprCXaY?t=9m52s
While this was originally featured in Movie 5, it went on to be one of the cues for the andriods in the series, and, like, man. I don't know if that was intentional, but manages to have a robotic edge while still clearly fitting the kung-fu movie aesthetic Kikuchi gave the series. A really great take on an action/villain cue for that arc.
Kikuchi's Cell theme (Z Movie 6): https://youtu.be/sq-tNe2E34w?t=4m38s
Originally featured in the second Coola movie, but unmistakably used as Cell's theme in the series. I think this is probably the best character theme Kikuchi ever provided the series with. I love it.
I love pretty much all the new tracks in Kikuchi's Boo arc material (it's my favorite era of his work on the series), but in particular, there's a really discordant, ominous track that plays, if I remember correctly, as Boo puts himself together after Vegeta's attack. It has some bells in it. I'll have to see if I can find it again.
There's also this Sumitomo track from Kai's Boo arc, which I think is one of the few standouts of his score, but damn, it's quite good.
I'll have to take a trip through GT tracks later, as those are some of my favorites in the franchise as well, but that'll require a bit of digging.

Re: All Time Favorite Piece of Dragon Ball Music
Oh man, that's a tough decision. If I have to go with one though, I'll choose Hikari no Tabi. I almost always get goosebumps when listening to it. Kageyama and KUKO nail their performances in that song. There's lots of emotion in the song, but it's also a song that gives off hope. Bardock may have lost to Freeza, but the viewers know that Goku will take Freeza down!
Here's the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6shbS6fDY8U

Yamamoto is my favorite composer so I had to choose one from Kai.

And I realise the Faulconer score has its share of detractors, and I can notice the flaws in it more now that I'm older, but I still love these two tracks:

We Were Angels, at the moment. It's always 'at the moment' lol.
Re: All Time Favorite Piece of Dragon Ball Music
Those who love Justice, for sure! Is that the actual name of the song? That's what I know it by. Anyways, the whole Buu saga soundtrack is fantastic, but this is my #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZqXDMO7cF4
