Wow... so many great ones to choose from...

Lain
NGE
Paranoia Agent (disorienting!)
Elfen Lied (beautiful but very disturbing)
Cowboy Bebop
Witch Hunter Robin (inspired me to take a panorama pic of Tokyo)
Haibane Renmei (it's all instrumental... any other openings without lyrics?)
Hellsing (yes, I like it, shame on me)
EDIT: Oh, yes, GitS:SAC, first season (offers insight, hauntingly)

I love the first half of the season's opening in Full Moon wo Sagashite, and the Super Gals one gets stuck in my head. Ready, Steady, Go is insane, and of course, the Trigun theme rules.

I mean, duh.

I made a thread for this a little while ago.

IGPX has the BEST theme.

"Ready Steady GO" and that new FMA theme for the last 10 episodes. "Rewrite", I think.

And 4kids dubbed One Piece opener. XD XD

All time favorite:
The original Urusei Yatsura opening.
Runners up:
Coppellia's Casket - Noir
Witch Hunter Robin
Inner Universe - GITS:SAC 1st season
Open Your Mind - Oh My Goddess TV
Samurai Champloo
Initialize - U.S. release Initial D

And even though I can't stand the series and didn't even finish watching the first DVD,it has a kickin' opening:
Tenge Tenjho (1st and 2nd episode, anyway.)

Added on edit:
Can't believe I neglected to include Paranoia Agent. Never liked the series, but I
always listen through the opening before changing the channel!
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)

EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu. Love the theme song and opening for that show!
Grenadier love the song but could do without the fan service.
Street Fighter 2 V good song to fight scenes
But probably my favorite is anything from the show Tenchi Muyo!

I didn't think there was a song that could beat "Kokoro no Chizu" (fifth opening to One Piece). The next one, "Brand New World," proved me wrong.
Most excellent song (and strangely reminds me of those VBS tunes, but much, much cooler).
