Not sure if this has been done before, (went through a few pages and did a search) but what is your favorite theme song for an Anime?
Currently mine is the theme song to Beck, "Hit in the USA." Although I do like the Cowboy Bebop opening theme song.
Hmm.....yes TANK! is very good.
I would say *Viva Rock* ~Japanese Side~ by Orange Range...but I'm pretty sure thats an ending theme.
Im going to have to say Saa by SURFACE. Its the opening to Mamotte Shugogetten (which Ive actually never seen...if anyone knows where I can dl some fansubs, I'd love you!) and....well its by SURFACE, which, as we all know, is the best band ever.
i have too many, but as of right now:
Kinjirareta Asobi-Rozen Maiden
You Won't See Me Coming-Gankutsuo(ending theme)
Reason-Gundam Seed Destiny Ending
Kiddy Grade-Mirai no Yoku
Samurai 7-Unlimited
My theme songs range usually dependant on my mood. Right now it's "Locolotion" by Orange Range. : )
I like Tank also the jazzy themes are always good, but then I also like the opening for Akira to its alittle all knowing and thats good.
Tenshi no Yubikiri- Kare Kano opening
Ex Dream- X opening
Secret Sorrow- X ending
Redy, Steady, Go!- Full Metal Alchemist opening
Just to name a few.
I like the opening song of Chrno Crusade and "Let me be with you" from chobits. But I love like every song on the chobits soundtrack. The music is unbearably cute!

Hmm...
ATM, fav opening - Kare Kano - An Angel's Promise, Inu Yasha - Change the World
Fav closing - Inu Yasha - Fuki Mori
Oh! And the opening theme songs for Fruits Basket, Escaflowne, and one of my favorites, Evangelion
So many tunes...
If I had to pick one, I don't think I could, but here are some of my favorites opening theams (not in any particular order).
H.T.-Trigun
Trust-Vandread
Tank-Cowboy Bebop
Soramimi Cake-Azumanga Daioh
Ju Kyu no News-Kodomo no Omacha
Love Tropicana-Jungle Wa Itsumo Hlae no chi Gu
And some of my favorite ending theames...
The Omellet song-Dragon Half
And the first ending tune from Urusei Yatsura (that I for the life of me I can't remember the title of).
When they're available, I like the ones that rock a bit. Thus, I like the openings to:
Gantz
Berserk
Outlaw Star
On the more pop side o' things, me gusta:
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Dual!
DNA2
Rumiko Takahashi Anthology (the singer's voice is very strange, almost shrill, and for me very effective).
And although I'm a little ashamed, because Haruko Momoi is not exactly a gifted singer, I'm a sucker for anything by Under17. Thus, I like the openings to Popotan, Magical Nurse Komugi, and DearS and the closing to Mouse, even though they're each embarrassing in their own way, and Mouse was especially horrific.
Fave ending themes include the first stage of Vandread and Tokyo Underground. Don't remember what either one was called, but they were both sort of trip-hoppy in a pleasant way.
I thought I'd just add that my favorite ending song is the original Bleach ending Song. "Life is like a boat"
Openings:
Full Metal Panic
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
