IMO: Seikan Hikou
It has the best melody, and the best vocals by MeguNaka

It's impossible to pick one. It all depends on what kind of music and voice you like most. I don't think I can pick a single song, but May'n and JUNNA are goddesses.

besides my fondness for DYRL

7 had so many good songs, its hard to choose, but I'll go with this one

It's amazing how Delta tried episode after episode to depict opposing singers trying to overpower each other, and not once did they manage to make it look as powerful, emotional, or even as impressive as this 30 minute afterthought of a movie
>>15759791
I love Diamond Calling from Macross 7: Dynamite.

Voices. Without a doubt.

Awesome. I can't be the only one who didn't hate Basara, right?

Fuck yeah, I always like this one too.

Macross 7 has many faults, but its music is the best of the all the Macross tv/ova/films. It's very very hard to top good j-rock. J-pop just doesn't have have that kind of power. Frontier does get close though, but even its best songs can't top those of 7. As for Delta it's a fucking joke (a sad joke) in comparison.
If Kawamori had any grains of salt left in his head he'd throw out j-pop and do a godly new Macross show with hardass j-rockers. And watch the sparks fly.
>>15759927
Its a giant shame they never used it in the OVA.
Macross Plus deserves a mention.

shit I meant to post the oav version. Guess that was from the movie which I haven't seen. Yoko Kanno is such a great composer regardless.

It did pull double duty with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Nights in one of those 7 Plus shorts.

While we're at here's my nomination for best Macross song.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GWHd8IvmjYs
I choose this over remember 16 because it played and the best member of diamond force got cucked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMczRJh_OeI
>>15759898
Either this or Angel Voice. Diamond Calling has the advantage of actually sounding like a legit song and not just an anison.
>>15759930
Delta's music was the one thing it had over Frontier though
Walkure songs sounded like they had actual instruments playing half the time. Frontier music was mostly just forgettable synth pop shit
Angel Voice (Minmay duet edition)

We said best songs not the worst ones in the entire franchise.
>>15759807
Agreed, but if I was forced to pick, it'd be Diamond Crevasse. Never before had I heard a Japanese song with so much soul. It's almost as if May'n was part black.
Ikenai Borderline and DYRL? are the best!

Diamond Crevasse is great. I love how they used it in the episode where Glasses dude died.
Not a big fan of the instrumentation though, in the original at least. The movie ending version is great.
At the risk of being unpopular.

>>15759791
Angel Voice is by far my favourite, though I think a lot of it is because of the association with that scene.
>>15760320
>At the risk of being unpopular.
Nah. well done. Macross II doesn't get enough love from Macross fans. This song was really nice.
>>15760077
>Mari Ijima sounding like a chain smoking granny
>no WHOA WHOA WHOA
This version makes me sick.
If I had to pick, I'd go with Diamond Crevasse. May'n's voice is great.
Obelisk is great too
>>15759910
The hate for 7 is a meme. A tired and old one.

They're really not great, cheesy as hell, and corny as fuck, even for macross, but it's charming that way.
>>15761056
As old as the series itself.
Because it sucks.
Banana Moon of Love
>>15762172
top tier song but not best
Tenshi no Enogu (Angel's Paint)
Sweet 80s feel, tune, and vocals.
It's not my favourite (can't really pick one), but I love "Yume no michi"
