Your most inspiring/uplifting anthem

Speaking of Final Fantasy, this is Terra's Piano Theme. I've listened to it hundreds of times and it never fails to get me up.

...as in Hammerfall?

bet you thought nobody would get the reference.

 

Two different songs from two VERY different genres.

Iron Maiden--Hallowed be thy Name: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J51LPlP-s9o"]YouTube- Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Studio Version)[/ame]

Eminem--Not Afraid: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s"]YouTube- Eminem - Not Afraid[/ame]

 

Song of the year for me that

Eminem went from being:

(1) an annoying loudmouth who I boycotted due to his homophobic slurs, to
(2) a rock-bottom has-been who I just plain ignored, to
(3) the greatest rapper of our time.

It's been a hell of a decade.

EDIT: And a song from early in his career that also deserves to be mentioned in this thread: "Lose Yourself." At the time, it seemed like an anomaly amongst his ridiculous antics (picking a fight with Moby? Seriously?). Now I see that it was the first glimmer of the maturity that would eventually drive his rapping: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFYQQPAOz7Y"]YouTube- Eminem - Lose Yourself MUSIC VIDEO[/ame]

 

If we're talking motivational music from ME2, it's gotta be Grunt's theme.

He raps like Bill Wallace kicks.

go to 2:40 and listen to one of the best rap verses I've ever heard, possibly best.
