I remember starting a thread a while back about favorite Gaming Soundtracks... or something of the like. Now I want to start a thread about anime OST... you know, the aspect that helps set the mood for the scene when it's in sync with Animation and Art.
Opening Themes are fine, but I find looking through a playlist of some of my favorite anime leads me to songs I completely overlooked because I was focused on the story or animation.
So here goes some of my favs
The World God Only Knows has a great soundtrack, it reminds me more of a VN soundtrack... but considering the theme of the show it fits perfectly:

I hear how lackluster Umineko no Naku Koro ni is, so I never ended up watching it... but that opening, yo:

I guess this thread would be incomplete without Sword Art Online:

Hmm... Blood+' osts were pretty great. As for the most in sync with the artistic direction of the show; samurai champloo really fit well in that area.

,hack//SIGN had an amazing OST. May be my favourite anime OST of all time... it's so good. :D
As for the best anime opening themes I'll have to go with One Piece. While I don't like all of them, many of them have that very cheerful feel-good vibe to them. Just makes me happy listening to them. -
NGE theme, maybe just nostalgia from when I watched it as a kid.

Not really a soundtrack, but still. Reminds me of the beatles.
