DarkFather said:Extremely minimalistic. Sounds all right, but Dragonball Z would be the last thing I would think about if I had listened to it without any context.
Here's another great one. Piccolo's Theme:
Sigh. I've always been partial to my own Piccolo's theme:

Especially from 4:30 onwards, that's the music I've always associated with Piccolo, the last couple of minutes being from DBZ movie 2, which was actually my first exposure to the Japanese score (the original dub actually used it).
See, our problem comes from what C3PX was talking about a while ago. Even if I did believe that Faulconer's score was superior, I would still prefer the original music simply because that's what Dragon Ball is. Remember when skyjedi was totally bashing Kevin Kiner's soundtrack for The Clone Wars? That's because, to him, any score that isn't John Williams simply isn't Star Wars. Now imagine if someone took the Star Wars movies and completely rescored them with a different composer. Even if you liked the new score and thought it was good, I doubt you'd be pleased or be able to associate it as Star Wars, would you?
EDIT: Oh, found another good selection, although one part repeats some Piccolo stuff from the last video:

Don't get me wrong. I'm really enjoying this. It's been a while since I searched for DB BGM, and if you continue to post links, I will continue to listen to yours as well. ^_^
