The Good Bad & the Ugly Ecstasy of Gold: Love this song, meshes well with Tuco running in the graveyard Ennio
The Good Bad & the Ugly Trio close to #1, love the final confrontation between Eastwood, Cleef and Tuco Ennio
Once Upon a Time in the West C’Era Una Volta Il West Ennio This song really strikes an emotional cord when heard.
Day of Anger main theme Riz Ortolani WOW, this song has a great short but effective instrumental.
Il Mercenario Il Arena Ennio. Well great confrontational song.
Long Days of Vengeance main theme. Ennio. Another great emotionally evoking song. great before a gunfight song.
Navajo Joe After the End Ennio. Well great song for the ending.
Navajo Joe Main Theme. Ennio. Great song
Death Rides a Horse Main theme ennio
Death Rides a Horse ending theme Ennio. One of the best ending themes. meshes perfectly well with Law riding off and giving that respectful nod to Cleef.
Face to Face main theme Ennio.
Blindman main theme Cipriani. Love this song. meshes well with the movie. I like the Indian shriek call.
The Good Bad & Ugly main theme Morricone Well its great one of my faves but I’ve heard it so many times.
Once Upon a time in the west harmonica Ennio
Hellbenders Ending theme Ennio. OK it may be corny but evokative ending.
16,. 1000 Dollari on the Lack. Great theme Lacarenza
For A few Dollars More Music Clock Ennio
Duck You sucker main theme Ennio
Once Upon a Time n the west Addio Ennio
A Fistful of Dollars Main Theme
Also like:Duck you sucker march of the beggars. Tepepa main theme, Companeros main theme
Interesting list, Gunhed, but it’s more a Top 20 of tracks, than a Top 20 of songs.
I like most of the tracks you mention, but I’d rate La Resa dei Conti (the settling of the accounts) from For a few Dollars More much higher (I think that’s the track you have called ‘Clock’)
Actually a lof of Spaghetti western stuff that really evokes emotion are tracks. Acrtually the For A few dolars more clock was a hard choice but got bumped down. If its in my top 20 I like them all.
My fave composer is Ennio Morricone but Riz Ortolani and Baclov are up there too.
There is a track called Road to Salinas by Christophe, this was used in Kill Bill vol. 2. It reminds me very much of a Spaghetti western track rather than a romance movie track.
Anyways as for songs, I did like the song moving on in Four of the Apocalypse.
[quote=“Yodlaf Peterson, post:9, topic:2508”]If we’re talking about the “songs” I can’t think of a top 20 but I know what my favourite one is, the main song from Return of Ringo.

As far as songs (with lyrics) go, my #1 would have to be A Gringo Like Me. Just evokes pure spaghetti throught ;D
Can’t think of a whole 20 though, maybe 10 if I did some searching. Ringo Rides Again for sure, The Sabata theme, The Yankee Fellow (from Taste of Killing), are good examples. Anyone got any others?
Edit: the Captain Apache song as well, only reason I ever bother to put that one in
I really like the Italian versions of Clayton from I Want Him Dead, Basta così from $10,000 Blood Money (but I definitely prefer the conluding words present in the movie to the version on record, not necessarily for their meaning but because they are sung with much more conviction) and Corri uomo corri from The Big Gundown:
