This is what we Avatards want the most now (besides the full Season 3 box set, the live action movies, and the possible ALL 3 SEASONS-IN-A-SINGLE-BOX-SET). We want that musical score released for us to hear. From action music to the funny moment music, it's all good.
Let's just say they did, and I had it. This means I can listen to every single piece of music thrown into the show, but what are my favorites of them? Well, many people love top lists, so I'll just think of them. I don't know the name of the songs, ao I'll just say when they used it.
-----------------------------------
Number 5: Iroh's Soldier Boy Song in "Tales of Ba Sing Se." No, not that rap song,but talk about touching and causing a tear. The song was one of the calm songs that brought a tear (at least mentally, no pun intended) if you understood the background to it. It was sung by Iroh to his dead son, which makes you sad already. THEN, we get the message saying "In Honor of Mako," which makes it even more wet with tears. It makes you think if the song was meant more for the son or Mako himself. Either way, it's very touching.
Number 4: The Full Version of the Intro Music. What a way to start the series. You have Katara narrating to us about the story, and while she does that, we get the first and one of the best musical scores of the show. Sadly, the full version didn't play for the rest of the intros, but that's what THIS MUSICAL SCORE WILL BE FOR!!
Number 3: The Headband's Band Song (hehehe... "band"). Many Kataangers remember this as the episode where Aang and Katara have a romantic dance. I am one, but I didn't think of it as romantic honestly. I thought it was very cool and neat since many dance "moves" are based off martial arts, especially break-dancing. Anyway, the music played had a very good beat and tune that made me enjoy the filler quite a lot. I did watch it on the internet (it was during the time when many episodes were airing in Canada first and then onto NickTurbo... I think), but that's what I remembered most of the episode. I'm serious. More than the cool Fire Nation school tour, more than Aang pwning the bully, more than Sokka's "Wang Fire" disguise, and even more than the dance. It was also used in "The Beach" at the party, and when the G (minus Aang, so we get "The G) find Jun in the building.
Number 2: Season 3 Finale Trailer (Both of Them). We Avatards had to survive in the dark for almost a whole freaking year until footage came from the '07 San Diego Comic-Con that was the Season 3 trailer. Of course, we crapped our pants just from the news. Then, the footage came on. It was epic, definitely, but the music was new, dramatic, and seemed to fit in any moment in the show. It sounded like a good theme for Zuko, but it turned into a drama/action music that I loved. The same musical score was used in the next season 3 trailer from New York Comic-Con '08. I think the beat was connected better to the first trailer, but who the hell cares when new footage is showing?!
Number 1: Series Finale Credits. I hum the beat of this less-than-a-minute musical almost all the time. I even hummed it while I was taking a test in Health class with one of the Avatard friends, but he didn't say anything. What's awesome is that I just love violins or anything similar to them, for they're always in the best and unique kinds of scores (The song Remember the Name + one of the best remixes to Halo's theme). What's sad is that you can hear the music saying "That's it. Thanks for watching and supporting us. This is what you get for watching this much." *sniff* Bryke left us a final epic score before the show was gone for good.
------------------------------------
Remember, this is MY list, so you can discuss and argue and flame and complain and poop all you want, but MY list stays the same. The point of the blog, however, is to try to get us fans to remember the good stuff of the show, and to encourage everyone to buy that musical score whenever it comes out.

P.S.
Hey, I liked making that list. I'll probably make more of people seem to like this list.
Today was my first day of school as a Sophomore. I only had 2 months of summer vacation this year (which EVERYONE thinks is BS), but I had a blast on the last month of the vacation. Suprisingly, the first day of school wasn't bad. I usually hate it and wish it'd never come, but this time, I didn't mind at all since it meant seeing a lot of my friends again. The most time I ever spent with any of them over the summer was through playing a couple of games on XBL.
I also got some good first-impression teachers. We all like those who aren't rule-lovers and think more like the students and have fun times, and luckily, 3 out of 7 were those kind. I also got one teacher I'm familiar with from last year, so that helps a bit.
Of course, the first day always has some of the most ridiculous moments in school life.
The first was when I was standing near the office while I carried a bunch of completed paperwork in an envelope to get into the school and get my schedule. Me and my sister are next, and then our vice principal asks us where is our mom. We said home, and he says that you needed a parent to be with you for this part. WHAT?!! ARE WE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STILL?!! WE'RE F***ING HIGH SCHOOLERS!!
Ahem...
Then the second was the one class that you hate because they make you work on the first day. This was expected, but I didn't expect to write a 4-paragraph essay that was due at the end of class and then given 2 assignments afterwards. Language Arts (ELA in my place) used to be a tough-but-enough course, now it's a "you're here, welcome to hell" course.
On a seperate note:
I can't list all the things I did in the last month on the same school blog, so I'll stop here. I might list them on another blog, IDK, I'll probably do it if I'm bored.
Thanks for readin' mah blog.

This summer's been the best for me. I get to go camping near a lake with my family for a week, spend a few days in Disneyland, stay with my Grandma (who lives 3 hours away from me) for a week, watch The Dark Knight and witness what a badass the Joker was, watch the finale to the best show I've ever seen, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'm about to attend ID Tech Camp in Stanford, CA, and go on a cruise ship to Mexico before going back to see my friends in high school for my Sophmore year.
The only negatives are bad though; I haven't been in touch with any of you guys, even during the airing of the finale. I hope you guys don't think I've abandoned you guys. I wouldn't do that unless I tell you guys. ![]()
If I could rate the show Avatar, I'd rate it 100/100. It passes every show I've seen and loved, including the ones from my childhood, and showed that even Nickelodeon can have an epic show like Avatar. It also proved that a cartoon and tell such a great and touching story while being realistic in ways (EXAMPLE: kids acting like kids and not like the Terminator) and showing off badass fantasy action mixed with martial arts. Thank you Avatar crew for making my favorite, along with many other fans, show.
Now we test our anti-hiatus Avatar syndrome by surviving a few years for the live-action movies...
