Well I don't really have a favourite since most of them are delightfully catchy, but I do have a preference in the most boss-like theme and that is Utsuho's since right from the start it lets the player know that they've gotten themselves in some serious shi-

Subjectively? Reimu. Maiden's Capriccio.

As befits her character, despite Reimu being a fairly easy boss, the first ten seconds alone of her theme firmly hammer home the simple message that now, you are absolutely fucked.

I liked the melody but did not think ZUN used the right instruments/pacing to make it sound boss-ish, the group of arranges I've heard make it clear that it'd be much sweeter if it was a bit more fast paced and maybe replace some instruments with trumpets and add backtracks/echo to the delicious piano.

Picking 5 was actually fairly difficult, but Sleeping Terror is by far and away my favourite Boss theme. My favourite Stage theme is probably Eternal Shrine Maiden.

I can't choose between Emotional Skyscraper and Remiria's...

The original versions go well with what the characters represent, like Remiria's refinement and Motheru's grandeur.

And are the arranges of those that I like the most, the piano ones being able to induce sadness upon myself easily, especially Septette. So many sad stories about Milady were imagined...

But I also like the arranges where they are fast-paced and inspire feelings of wanting to Falcon Punch something with all my strength while screaming at the top of my lungs.

Sometimes I even get shivers when I find an exceptionally good song. I think I may have a mental condition or something.

Oh god, Suwa Foughten Field is so awesome. The beat captures such a feeling of overwhelming power

South of Heaven had a really cool remix of it on one of their albums. I can't find a video link sadly, but you can see the album itself here: http://vgmdb.net/album/28673
