I'm not sure this quite counts, but, there is one piece of music that always makes me think of Frieza, just because it suits him so well...unfortunately, no video on Youtube really has a perfect version of it. This one...

Doesn't have any jarring transitions, but is lower in sound quality, while the below..

...has better sound quality, but has some really jarring transitions. So, take that into consideration as you judge it.

Anyways though, more than any other song, the association between this and the character of Frieza is one that has scarred itself into my head for all eternity. Something about the whole somber feel of that arc, the Z Fighters throwing themselves at Frieza only to get crushed time after time on an empty, desolate planet millions of miles away from their homes, the long history of genocide Frieza has, and seeing what used to be a prosperous planet full of good people slowly but surely crumbling away, until all that was left were dark red skies, lightning, and lava spewing everywhere...

Yeah, I dunno what it was about that arc, but something about it just connected with me. And, whenever anyone talks about Frieza on the board, or when the Z Fighters are having a flashback about Frieza, or when I think about Frieza, or whenever I think about, or hear a discussion about the "Frieza Arc", that's the theme that comes up in my head. To me, it IS the theme of Frieza. Of Gekishin Frieza.

So yeah, that's really more talking about a specific arc and character, perhaps...but that still TECHNICALLY counts as "thinking of DB/DBZ"...right?
