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

Ah... okay, that's too many. I'll attempt to hold it down to the top five. If I can figure out which those are.
I shall use the standard of 'best for the anime they go to' instead of 'best music' or this list would be different in some places.
FLCL - easily the best match of music to anime ever. (and all opinions stated here are opinions after all. If you don't like mine, get your own!)
Noir - this show would still have been good, but not awesome, without the incredible Kajiura soundtrack.
GITS:SAC - Yoko Kanno at her best. I really do like other stuff mentioned in previous posts, too. I just like this one the best.
Paprika - Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I wish Kon had been using this guy when he did 'Perfect Blue', because the soundtrack there actually detracted from a very good movie. He found the right man for 'Paprika'. In many places, 'Perfect Blue' desperately needed the degree of eerieness that Hirasaw brought to the table.
Madlax - I was no where near as happy with the anime as I was with Noir (creator of Noir was trying to repeat the magic) but the soundtrack was wonderful.
Honorable Mentions to:
Oh, My Goddess (TV) - especially first season.
And one many of you may have never heard of: Dominion Tank Police. I know this ancient OVA wouldn't normally be mentioned in the same breath as the rest of these, but I thought the soundtrack was very good (with the exception of the very pathetic OP). And I own the DVDs but not the soundtrack in this one case (I don't know if it was ever available, frankly.)
I have others I could mention, but I set the bar at five, and I'm already up to seven.
