Favorite Villain Theme Song (Spoilers?)

Alright, so in the Anime world there are many different villains, and many of them have their own theme song, so this thread here is to discuss which Villain(s), in your opinion, have the best theme song. Please note that this is NOT a list thread, explain your choice, or perhaps why you don't like another's choice.

Personally, I find it rather hard to choose between Akatsuki's (from Naruto) theme song, and the Espada (from Bleach). On one hand, Akatsuki's is definately more menacing and comes off as a bit creepy, and yet at the same time very powerful. It fits completely for Akatsuki, as they are strong and destructive, something that you don't want to mess with.

The Espada's theme however is a bit more graceful, and a bit more fluid. It is still dark enough that I wouldn't expect a Hero to have it as their theme, and while it doesn't come off as creepy, it certainly gives the impression that the Espada are dominating figures that would bring trouble to any Protagonist.

So, feel free to share your thoughts, and what your favorite theme is. Also try to keep this as spoiler-free as you can, but if you must, use a spoiler tag.
 
As far as anime goes, I'd say Orochimaru's theme and Cell's theme with it's many variations (in the English dub), along with Dante's in Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe the Bounts' theme, if only because one of the instruments sounded like it was playing Phantom Of The Opera music behind the main theme. Not many others come to mind right away.
 
Yes, I would definately use the hard rock theme if I ever decided to hijack the planet's life source and just went ape **** on civilization.

And to really insert video game themes into an anime thread, which I find myself always tempted to do, is Wesker's Wind of Madness theme if I had to pick off a protagonist with fisticuRAB.

As much as I love the Sephiroth theme I'm afraid it holRAB no candle to Shunsuke Kikuchi's Piccolo theme. Every time that theme kicked in you knew Piccolo was on scene now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SMM-kPfQQc&fmt=18
 
I think what makes me not like Piccolo's theme is the very beginning of it. To be honest I've never really paid much attention to his theme after hearing the first snippet. Hearing it during the Turles (sp?) bit (I only listened to a snippet) it sounded a little bit like the music to Enter the Dragon, so I guess it's not as bad as I usually make it out to be... I still can't stand the way it starts up though

Um, a lot of the shows I've seen I don't really know if they actually have themes for villains (or heroes for that matter.), but the only theme I can really think of at the moment is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zufDXfcOCIs (Light Yagami - Death Note)

L's theme, however is just too epic to not mention even though he's not a villain.
 
I don't know what the Naruto songs are called, but that creepy music that plays when Orochimaru is being especially evil is just about perfect for him.
