From every Halo you’ve played and the music that you know of, what are your favorite tracks? I might post mine when I find their titles. Why did you pick those tracks or how do they impact you? For example, do they feel emotionally powerful, are they immersive or just a pure adrenaline rush?

Never Forget/Unforgotten are amazing tracks. I always get goosebumps when I hear them. I also love One Final Effort.
And you can’t go wrong with the classic Halo Theme.
So many good ones to choose from. One Final Effort is at the top for me, Green and Blue, The Last Spartan, and Skyline. The list goes on.
One Final Effort is best track because of that piano riff.
Best total albums are probably Reach and ODST.

It’s OK, but I’d like the Koan remix of Green and Blue a lot more.
Am I the only one who really liked the melody they used in the theme for the Halo Reach Beta trailer? After all these years I’m still hoping they incorporate the theme in the soundtrack for a future Halo title. It would be so cool to see for example Blue Team having an epic last-stand whilst this music is playing!
A man can only hope…

I have different favorites for each game; In CE I like ‘Under Cover of Night’, ‘Covenant Dance’ and ‘Brothers in Arms’.
In Halo 2, I love ‘In Amber Clad’ and ‘Peril’ as atmospheric tracks, the Scarab Mix of the main theme is amazing as well.
For Halo 3, ‘Three Gates’ and ‘One Final Effort’ are legendary on their own, and ‘Spirit of Fire’ from Halo Wars is glorious while also being very emotional.
‘Ghosts and Glass’ and ‘We Remember’ from Halo Reach are beautiful send offs, both to your own Spartan and to Bungie themselves.
Halo 4 has its moments too,‘Requiem’ is gorgeous, and ‘117’ is fantastic in its incorporation of the original theme into something epic and new.
[And yeah, ‘Green and Blue’ is gut punching, though it’s lost its affect a little after Halo 5]
Halo Wars 2 has some nice pieces as well but I haven’t listened to it enough yet to pick any out for certain.
ODST Has my favorite soundtrack from the games, ‘Deference for Darkness’ and ‘Neon Night’ are atmospheric and really sell that sense of isolation (dat Saxophone), I like ‘Traffic Jam’ as ODST’s callback to Halo 2’s Rock and Drums style while still keeping its own, and oh god ‘Finale’…which is like Marty’s transitional piece from 3’s style to Reach’s and I adore it.
As a bonus though, Halo Legends has some amazing stuff in there as well, its version of ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ and ‘Unforgotten’ are my personal favorites, ‘True Arbiter’ is a beautiful, more Oriental piece that I think fits the Elites and the tale of the Arbiter really well, while ‘Shattered Legacy’ continues its style and is basically the score of the death of Elite culture as it is lost to the autonomy of the Covenant.
And finally, ‘Machines and Might’ and ‘Sacred Icon Suite (II)’ are the most epic pieces of music I think I’ve ever heard.
In an not chronological order:
Finish the fight
117
Arrival
I know you,even its just trailer music.

As you can see, most of my favorite tracks are from Halo 2 and Halo 3. However, I love the music from the entire trilogy. Those two soundtracks simply had the best pick of tracks. I chose them due to their great themes, their epicness, the adrenaline rush. These are songs that can stick in my head, and during gameplay made things all the more epic.
Lots of amazing tracks here. I want to find my favorites, but I believe you have just about mentioned them already.
I can go on and on about what tracks i like, so i will give a brief summary. I like all Bungie music. The majority of Halo 4’s soundtrack, and some very few tracks of 5.
My top picks
Halo reach - ONI sword base
Halo ce - Covenant dance
Halo 2 - Blow me Away / Heavy price paid
Halo 3 ODST - ONI / Skyline extended edition
Halo 3 - Finish the fight
Halo 4 - 117
Halo 5 - Light is green
Never Forget and Siege of Madrigal are my two favorites. The Halo soundtrack in itself is very good; All of them. It’s one of the main reasons why I love the series.
