    Sometimes it's really interesting what music will go with certain characters or aspects of a TV series. Avatar is no different. What I want to know is, what tunes do you think work with Avatar? It doesn't matter what you pick, but I'd be preferable if you make sure the song matches the character or aspect (i.e. fight scenes).

    Here's a few examples:

    Zuko
    Suspicion - Final Fantasy IV

    Kataang
    Incomplete - Backstreet Boys (I know they suck, but this song works)

    Azula
    Sesshoumaru's Theme - Inuyasha (anime)

    I could list a lot more, but I'll save them for later. In the meantime, how's about you suggesting something?

    Avatar State:?? I've got the Power by Snap (That is a an easy one.)
    Azula: Jeremy from Pearl Jam (I can see Azula going into his school and wasting all the students)
    Old Zuko: Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
    New Zuko: Strolling Through the Park One Day ( I can totally see ZuZu singing this song and whistling it.)
    Sokka:?? Any Eminem song that comes to mind or I Need Love by LL Cool J
    Toph: Momma Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J
    Iroh: I'm a Little Tea Pot (It fits his tea persona.)
    Appa: Highway to the Danger Zone
    Kataang:?? Quit Breaking My Heart by Backstreet Boys (I think this works just about right.)

    i only got a couple songs for toph, because i can't think of anything else.

    toph- she's a rebel by green day, hide by joy williams (christian song, but it has a very toph-ish ring to it)

    that's all i got so far, when i think of others for other people, i'l be sure to post them here.

    You guys have good suggestions (even though I don't know a lot of those songs), but what you pick doesn't need to be done by lyric artists. I know of a lot of game tunes that would work well with Avatar. You should try finding some.

    Here's some examples:

    Toph
    Relm's Theme (WoR) - Final Fantasy VI

    Suki
    Respite in Battle - Fire Emblem (GBA)

    Momo
    Palom and Porom - Final Fantasy IV

    The one for Momo I think is just hilarious, and suits the little guy perfectly.

    Try some tunes from the games genre.

    For the entire series, I think the song "Affiration" by Savage Garden is a good fit. I saw a really good Avatar AMV with that song and now everytime I hear it I think of Avatar.

    Affirmation would definately work. Azula or Toph would fit "Always a Woman" by Billy Joel. Hm, I know I know more. I'll come back XD

    I know a good theme from agame. "scars of time" in the game chrono cross. I think it's the perfect theme for the whole show. And if you disagree with me then check this out:

    That tune is really good. And the video, awesome!

    Here's a few more:

    Long Feng
    What comes from Darkness - Fire Emblem (GBA)

    Zhao
    Black Fang - Fire Emblem (GBA)

    Mai and Ty Lee
    Going my Way - Fire Emblem (GBA)

    That last one cracks me up. Just listen to it, and you'll see what I mean.
