My absolute favorite may be Creeping in my Soul or Bye Bye Babylon. Move Along and Kumo Rocks are amazing too, though.

[Rausaro]

Move Along is probably my favorite. I do like the tracks from Movies 1-3, too.

[Refy L.S.]

Probably "The Bionicle Music" from the power pack, as well as MNOG (Lewa VS Onua). However I am a fan of cryoshell, and I did enjoy "Creeping in my Soul".

[Hahligirl56]

I haven't heard all of them, but I really liked 'Creeping in My Soul'. It really was...creepy.
Also loved the music from MNOGI/II...and Bionicle, the video game (even if it wasn't canon).

[Master Inika]

No offense to anybody, and I respect each and all of your personal opinions and tastes, but I really can't stand the rock and roll songs. In my opinion, it's just not Bionicle. I much more prefer the ambient/electronic music that blends in with the cultural/world themed music, because it fits more with the idea of advanced, technological beings living in a natural world.

I agree! I've never really liked the rock or rap songs either, I would rather listen to the soundtracks/scores. I feel the ambient/electronic/film score music was one of the things that separated Bionicle from the average toy. My personal favourites are from MNOG: the Onu-Koro theme, and especially the underwater theme.

I third. The half-tribal, half-techno sounds from MNOG and the soundtrack to the original trilogy (oh, this is turning into a Star Wars-esque "everything as better before" discussion) was music I could really envision these Matoran playing in the village; a real part of BIONICLE culture. My favorite tracks from the movies were the music from Hahli's speech (which also played at the Ko-Koro portion of the Mata Nui explorer), the music that plays when Lhikan's mask is talking to Vakama & co. (which also plays for the Metru Nui Explorer), and the music that plays when the Rahaga catch the Toa Hordika an fly them through their ravaged, foggy city.

That being said, I also have a special love for the rock from '06 and onward. As far as music of the time was, LEGO could have chosen stuff a lot worse. I think each song really helped set the tone for the year:

Having "Move Along" for late 2006 theme really made me feel cheerful. It told me that, though the Matoran of Voya Nui had suffered, the Toa Inika had arrived to liberate them and save Mata Nui. While the music told me it would be a long fight, I never imagined just how long the quest for the Ignika would be.

"Creeping in my Soul" was a significantly darker tune, well-fitting for the senario: a Po-Matoran everyman, Dekar, has always lived in fear of the shadowy waters surrounding his small village. When a cursed mask drifts down from above, though, Dekar learns what lives in those shadows are far more terrifying than he could have imagined.

"Crashed" told a story of noble heroes in a place where nobility was a lost virtue; a place so dark and dangerous it need no name besides "the Pit." But, when every odd was against them, these heroes fought on, because they knew honor and loyalty were stronger than any army. But, even then, no victory is without sacrifice.

"Gravity Hurts" and "Closer to the Truth" told me stories of a battle all the other battles had led up to: a fight for the very survival of the universe as the Great Spirit's life grew dangerously short. The Toa Nuva, the heroes we had grown to love and look up to for seven years, had to face the possibility of death, and did so boldly, because they had a duty to the Matoran.

"Bye Bye Babylon" helped 2009's story, which I found to be weaker than the Matoran Universe-based storylines, seem more thrilling. Mata Nui, a character we had learned to honor so much yet seen so little of, was stranded on a parched wasteland where he was known as Great Spirit only to himself. And again, the bold selflessness of heroes - of Toa - would help free the innocent villagers from a race of warlike brutes.

[Kumata]

Gravity Hurts or Closer to the Truth.

[ShadowVezon1]

Creeping in my Soul, Gravity Hurts, Move Along, and the Bionicle Heroes soundtrack. All of the Bionicle Heroes soundtrack.

[Wokat]

The MNOLG soundtrack. There's just something about it that fits Bionicle's atmosphere extremely well.

[Extractor]

"Move Along" "Hero" "Creeping in my Soul" and much of the MNOG 1-2 themes, especially the Le-Koro themes, and the Ga-Koro celebration theme.

[Wazdakka]

As a musician, I love all of them really. However, my favorites are MNOG II Ga-Koro (only zone I've been in so far), Mask of Light/Legends of Metru Nui/Web of of Shadows unofficial bionicle theme, Hero (remember that from being a wee little chap), and Gravity Hurts (as of recently).

By the way!! I will sell my soul for ANY bionicle piano sheet music, including Gravity Hurts and Hero. I am absolutely incompetent when it comes to playing by ear.

[Lenny7092]

I like two Crypshell songs, and they are Bye Bye Babylon and Breakout.

[Draezeth]

Either chasing the Takea Shark in MNOLG2, or the ending song of MNOLG. They're happy music. I do love Murky, though.

[Meiko]

Cryoshell is always nice; Creeping in my Soul specifically is my favorite of theirs. Move Along by the All-American Rejects is nice, because it's 1) an awesome song and 2) my favorite song of the band's.

[Takanuvainika]

My favorites are "Hero" because I think it fits the toa, and "Gravity Hurts" because it really fits the toa in Karda-Nui.

[toa kopaka4372]

The original movie trilogy has great tracks, and all the songs from 2006 onward were great.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Move Along by All American Rejects, and Crash by Daughtry.

[Rooster Nui]

Creeping in my Soul.

[Dralcax]

Either Hero or Bye Bye Babylon. Creeping in My Soul is also awesome.

[Cratak]

In alphabetical order:

 

Closer To The Truth - Cryoshell, Crashed - Daughtry, the alternative version of Creeping In My Soul - Cryoshell on the Barraki Promo CD, Face Me - Cryoshell, Gravity Hurts - Cryoshell, Move Along - All-American Rejects, and Ride - Presence (credits song for TLR).

 

Also, I like all of the movie soundtracks.

[MisterGryphon]

Creeping in my Soul is outstanding.

[alpha123]

Definitely the MNOG soundtrack. It just plain screams "BIONICLE".

 

Gravity Hurts is easily second, followed some ways behind by Crashed and Creeping in my Soul.

[GBV]

The piraka rap. Yo Yo PIRAKA.

I just looked that up, haven't heard it since 2007...the nostalgia. o.o

[Samhain]

I probably listen to Gravity Hurts the most, but I do love them all. Oh and the song in the Mahri movie is Crashed by Chris Daughtry and "What it takes to be a hero" is actually called "Hero" by All Insane Kids.

[The First Speaker]

Face Me is my favorite.

[Fastcar700]

Move Along. The lyrics really "Speak to me! When all you gotta keep is strong..."

Edited by Fastcar700, Dec 21 2012 - 03:40 PM.

[TNT-Vezon with an Olmak]

Basically, all the MNOLG stuff (except for when you're in Po-Koro, that tune always bugs me) and all the Cryoshell stuff. Although I am partial to the Piraka Rap. If they hadn't made a BIONICLE based rap, then I would have.   Swag.

[thelonewander]

"Hero", "Move Along", and "Gravity hurts" are my top three. 

[Grandmaster Lehvorak]

I have to go with "Move Along" by the All-American Rejects because that song has motivated me ever since it first came out. Maann the good old days... so much reminiscing .. you guys in BZP loves to do that a lot... makes me feel so old now...

 

The other songs I like were some songs in the Bionicle MNOG and "Closer to the Truth."

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Though it won't count as a Bionicle song, I still think it is - Gravity Hurts (Remake) by Cryoshell.

[X-Ray]

I am especially fond of Move Along by the All American Rejects, though I also very much like Nathan Furst's soundtrack for the original Bionicle film trilogy. Cryoshell's songs I all liked a lot, though I care little for the music produced by All Insane Kids.

[Makuta Matata]

Gravity Hurts or Move Along. Tough choice. 

[christo1096]

my favorite Bionicle song are Caught in a Dream and Gravity Hurts

[Kumata]

Now I like the new Gravity Hurts most.

[Konuju]

Oh, man, I don't think I can just pick one favorite. I've always loved the music from MNOLG and the Bohrok Animations. As a kid, Le-Koro was always my favorite, but Onu-Koro and Ga-Koro are also pretty good. And I always liked the music from that one Bohrok-Kal Animation in the scene where the Toa Nuva had lost their elemental powers and were reuniting with each other.

 

That said, I also really like the movie soundtracks, especially the melancholy piano part heard at the end of the credits in Mask of Light (I'm sure it also plays somewhere in the movie, but I forget exactly where).

 

Oh, and I just remembered the Chronicler's Company tune from MNOLG! Now I want to go listen to the entire soundtrack; I'm sure there's many tunes I've loved yet forgotten about.
