Anything by Yoko Kanno is worth listening to, i loved the music of Macross Plus, and Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex, and Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne,etc Studio Ghibli always has some great soundtracks Steamboys music is superb. Bubblegum Crisis OVA had a good selection of J-rock songs And Evangelion had some decent music and a great opening.

Anything which has a soundtrack by Yuki Kajiura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Noir, Mai-Hime, Kara no Kyoukai) or Yoko Kanno (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Macross Frontier, Darker Than Black, Cowboy Bebop). Both of them are geniuses and have made many fantastic soundtracks over the years.

Hideki Taniuchi deserves a mention for his work on Kaiji, Akagi and Death Note, as does Yasuharu Takanashi for his work on Heartcatch PreCure!, Mononoke and Shiki OST's, amongst other things.

Also, the Panty & Stocking OST comes to mind.

theres alot of single tracks that I like alot, but as far as complete soundtracks, probably these come to mind:

Romeo x Juliet (very movie-like - lots of influence from john williams i would expect)
Rental Magica (was very pleased with the soundtrack, suprisingly)
5 cm/s (pretty much just 3 themes repeated, but still nice. tenmon does some great stuff)
Macross Frontier (kanno yoko at her best <3)

Its hard to say which single tracks are my favorite, but probably the two most epic IMO are:
Omae no XXX de Ten wo Tsuke! (TTGL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JE4Em9bSIE
Justice and Freedom (Gundam Seed OST 3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5x05GjXGKc

If you guys like osts alot, you should really check out the thread based on guessing shows from tracks!
