Song title: Ocean
Artist: Owls
Year: 2014
Why I like this song:
It has enough rock muscle to break any door down but then it goes into a different tempo. Certainly an odd move but that's what makes it so memorable.

Song title: Royal Space Force Main Theme
Artist: Ryuichi Sakamoto
Year: 1987
Why I like this song:
Calling it now: Royal Space Force (Wings of Honneamise) has one of the greatest soundtracks, anime or otherwise. And this is the best representation of it: Exotic, unfamiliar and yet still familiar, utilising a great leitmotif and evocative of building and progression. Simple but magnificent.

Year: 2005
Why I like this song:
I chanced upon this and was astonished: For you see (hear?), all the guitar sounds are done on a bass.
And they say the bass is a boring instrument.
