Favorite boss music?

[Godzillatheultimate]

A lot of games featuring boss characters has some sort of epic music kick in when the fight starts. Now, I wasn't sure whether this belonged in music or video games, so it's in video games, but what are your favorite examples of boss music?

Only two come to mind right now for me:
Yoshi's Island Final Boss Music:

Jinouga's theme:

Nightmare House 2 Boss Battle:

There's just something about it that makes me think about the protagonist's journey from the beginning with the titular house, all the way to the end with the destruction of Romero's Id machine.

I just love this kind of music.

Ganon: The Final Battle:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpIn2xMJyv4

Still the greatest boss fight I've ever experienced. The awe, the epicness of it all.

Gheeeetsis. Gheeeetsis.

The theme for the final battle against N is pretty great, too:

Hell, Pokémon Black and White has my favorite soundtrack of the whole series so far.

I love Arceus' theme. But I really don't like the Pokemon.

One Winged Angel is one to be mentioned too.

[Mothra Freak]

I wanted to mention that one, but I wasn't sure if legendary Pokémon counted as bosses or not.

If we are, then I'll mention Zekrom and Reshiram's battle themes. They're slightly different, so I linked both.

[Legionmaster]

Pssh. Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza have the best legendary battle theme in Pokemon. Hands down. Though, no Pokemon "boss" theme has ever lived up to that of Lance and Red.

Over on Zebes, Super Metroid gave us what is surely one of the greatest boss themes of all time: Mother Brain.

Over in Eagleland, back through time and space, at the foot of the Devil's Machine, Porky Minch let us kick his pudgy ass to this awesome theme. Lucky for us, he would do it again in Mother 3.

The Ridley theme has become as much a part of Metroid as anything else in the series, and I think I like the Brawl remix the best.

While it's not really one of the themes that screams "AWESOME" to me, I do prefer Twilight Princess' Ganondorf theme to OoT's.

[Gyaos]

Bowser's theme from Super Mario World Advanced is the only one that immediatly pops to mind. I'll have to post more later.

[G-Matt]

I really like the music during the battle against the first form of the final boss in Metroid Prime.

God bless it, no Ridley? What are ya'll, casuals?

I was just about to accuse LGM for not posting the Ridley theme.

This gem was hidden so early in the game I actually didn't notice it until my third or fourth time killing the boss. Queen Araneae theme:

And to be fair, it wasn't the Ridley theme until Metroid Fusion. Everyone always forgets about our favorite super-Evir, Draygon.

[Llante]

I am not sure if it was used in the in game fight, however, the soundtrack for the Lich King is pretty epic.

Though, no Pokemon "boss" theme has ever lived up to that of Lance and Red.

Not only that, this theme is the best boss theme I've ever heard.

[Showa Gyaos]

"Cry Roar" from Mushihimesama Futari. The music goes well with the final boss in the game, which is just a plainly unfair experience. (The boss, not the music.)

[Huan_of_Valinor]

the theme for "Dark Lord Ganondorf" is and probably always will be one of my very favorite themes for any boss or villan in any game or movie.
