    to me is the imperail march which is the best bad guy song in the star wars music saga and the empirer's theme is a close second

    The Emperor's. Why? Because you said "bad guy SONG", and since the only bad guy track with any vocals that I can think of is some of the Emperor's bits in ROTJ, it's the only one we can begin to consider a song.

    Now, if you'd said bad guy THEME, I'd probably still go with the Emperor's, just 'cause there's only so many times I can hear the Imperial March, but... ah well...

    Wasn't there a "Happy Senator's Song"?

    Adam has a valid point. I think that i would still agree with the emporors theme anyway. it just seemed to me that it represented evil in it's purest form.

    Emperor's Theme. This is evil at it's purest form. I love how JW has a great place for it in every film it appears in.

    Although I don't like how it's primarily done by instrument in ROTJ...it just sounds more evil to my ears when it's done by chorus.

    Like all people know, a song is a musical piece with words or lyrics. Intrumental score tracks and movie themes aren't ''songs''.

    I love them equally both, since they are different. Vader's theme is a fascist march, the Emperor's Theme is horror-like and creepy. The rest of the villain music (e.g. the Droid March) is a step below IMO.

    Even though the Death Star's an inanimate object, it's still my favorite bady guy.

    My favorite evil tune is the Death Star Motiff.

    The Imperial March and then Emperor's theme. I also liked Jango's and what I think was Dooku's theme.

    I still hold with the emporors theme. It just seems to represent everything he is.

    It's too bad they never expanded it for a concert version. Maybe the spookiest villain theme.

    I have to agree. The Emperor's theme is the best bad guy theme in Star Wars.

    -Strilo, who refuses to harp yet again on the "song, track, cue" thing
