I absolutely love the soundtracks for Toho's Space Opera trilogy (The Mysterians, Battle in Outer Space, Gorath) which is funny, because I have yet to view any of them.

Akira Ifukube - The First Battle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iDZV14X2Eg)
Akira Ifukube - Markalite F.A.H.P. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJCXXa1nFY)
Akira Ifukube - Attack Preparations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEOc7jqALwo)
Akira Ifukube - Opening
Akira Ifukube - Main Title
Akira Ifukube - Battle on the Moon I
Kan Ishii - Main Title (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wji6TDOwkr4)
Kan Ishii - We are Space Pilots I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHPnkQwgeYY)
Kan Ishii - Construction of the South Pole Base (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmiAJ9So0Jk)

Just to name a few

Pretty much anything by Masuro Sato and Akira Ifukbe are highly enjoyable.

I also really like the score to Return of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Biollante, GMK and the Kiryu trilogy.

Ifukube is the best. He really cant do anything wrong for me. Masaru Sato is great. I also liked G 84, and G vs Biollante, G vs SpaceG, GMK, the Megaguirus and the Kiryus, and, believe it or not, i actually do like the GFW score.

Ifukube - Godzilla (54), King Kong vs. Godzilla, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Destroy All Monsters, Terror of Mechagodzilla
Sato - Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Son of Godzilla
Hattori + J.P. Robinson - Godzilla 2000. My favorite non-Ifukube score by far. A fantastic mix of dramatic, memorable themes with Robinson's tasteful and dynamic action music.

The worst? Final Wars, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla and the Kiryu films.

One of the most emotionally charged pieces of music I've ever heard in a film.

I like the music that's playing in Godzilla vs Biollante when the troops prepare the TC system, just want to listen to it forever.

They're all great themes, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I love some of the music from the T.V. version of Varan.

I keep noticing this short little tune that keeps popping up time to time in several soundtracks by Ifukube:

Mystery of the 20th Century (Varan) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWo6d3tD2TE

The Natural Enemy of Dogora (Dogora) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhgJNdVJ8N8

Matsumoto City and King Ghidorah (GtTHM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGwSbePk_4s

Wiring Complete (WotG) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6A7GXDE5iY

Remote Control Destruction (DAM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE-w-ElXuBY

^I don't remember how I felt about that one in the other movies, but I found it quite annoying in DAM. That's just me though. My favorite score is from Godzilla (1984), followed by the score from Mothra vs. Godzilla.
