I have just four things to say:
"The Real Folk Blues"
"Too Good Too Bad"
"Call Me, Call Me"
"Tank!"
Need I say more? Yoko Kanno all the way, baby!

Yuki Kajiura! I LOVE .hack//SIGN music! It is simply awesome! Did you know that there is a soundtrack only option on the DVDs? So nifty! *turns on To Nowhere*
Yoko Kanno comes in second. Her music is good and she is an amazing composer, but I just like Kajiura's more.

hmmmmm......that's tricky....i own more uematsu stuff......i'll have to say Kanno, cuz even though FF is "practially" anime, it still isn't anime. I love Kanno's diversity, from rockin' jazz to melancholic, melodious, and sweeping pieces (Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex). Good times, good times.....

I like them all, so it's hard to choose. I picked Yoko Kanno simply because I've heard (and liked) more music from her than Uematsu and Kajiura, but I like music from the two of them as well.

Yuki Kajiura. The soundtrack for .hack//SIGN is my all-time favorite; I could listen to it forever. But Yoko Kanno's awesome too.

I said at one time that Yoko Kanno is one of the best modern jazz composers of our time. I still stand by that assertion.

Not even modern jazz. She has proven her ability to work in any genre. Who would have thought that after 600 years had passed since the height of its popularity someone would compose an anime song based on gregorian chant?
And I did not know that she also worked on Rahxephon.
Guess who I voted for.

oh wow...so hard. When people ask of my fav anime music, I usually say Yuki Kajiura, Yoko Kanno, and Mitsumune Shinkichi(Rozen Maiden). oh and Oohashi Megumi!! (uta-kata)
I picked Yuki Kajiura, but what's sad is that I really haven't gotten the chance to hear the .hack work! must see .hack//sign anyways..i'm madly in love with her work on Mai Hime. particularly the various Ensei tracks. ^_^
two questions....who did the music for Bleach? and for Air? (my track labels are all garbled unfortunately
)

I would recommend watching .hack//sign for the music alone. It is that worth it. The anime is interesting too.

Yuki Kajiura! Her work is just too awesome to describe.

In many cases Advent Children is concidered anime though, and I know Last Order totally is anime (not sure if he did the score to that though).

Oooo she does that too? I knew she also did the Le Petit de Cossette score (which I still want to look into). Know any other she does? Oh and TOTALLY forgot she did Tsubasa too! I find it only alright though. A couple themes are good but that's about it.

I can't believe that none of you Miyazaki fans have mentioned Joe Hisaishi, the composer for his films! O_O I've decided I'm rather enjoying his musical works, anyway -- though I'm not so sure yet that I have a favorite composer. ^_^

Didn't knwo she did the Chrono Crusade ending either. Doesn't sound like her style though :/ *shrugs* I'll have to listen to it again and maybe check out some of the other stuff from that list^^ I also wuv her "Fiction" CD. Fiction and Vanity and Cynical World are great english songs by her^^
EDIT: Site also says it's a special song she does with Saeko Chiba, I'm thinking...

Totally forgot about him! Well, that's what the "other" option is for (those I forgot/never heard of).

Yoko Kanno. She has some of my favorite songs on Cowboy Bebop! I like "Diggin" a lot, although I'm not going to listen to it with my mom in the room. 
Not that it's bad or anything, their's just that one line.
-The Real Folk Blues
-Diggin'
-Call Me Call Me
-Rain
-DNA
Good songs

Yuki Kajiura=brilliance. Really, there is nothing to compare to his scores. I have three of them and I listen to them for hours at a time.
My second favorite composer is Tenmon, who did the scores for Voices of a Distant Star and Places Promised in our early Days. His violin and piano solos are incredible.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The Porco Rosso soundtrack is one of my favorites. He definitely belongs on the list... but I would still vote for Kajiura. Give her another decade of success, and she may end the all-time master of Anime soundtrack... if she isn't already that.
Actually, without Kajiua, it would be a coin toss for me between Hisaishi and Kanno.
I'd like to see more from Tenmon, before putting him up with these others. He has done well in Music, but I've seen nothing from him in soundtrack except the two Shinkai films. I would like to know how much was him, and how much was Shinkai.
Other persons I feel are missing from this list:
Shiro Sagisu! (Bleach, Abenobashi, Kare Kano, and The Anime That Shall Not Be Named) - he doesn't write "Big" soundtracks, but he weaves his music into the anime with great skill.
Taku Iwasaki (Witch Hunter Robin, Now and Then Here and There, Rurouni Kenshin) Kind of the same comment as for Sagisu, but also,he just has a gift for writing haunting melodies.
And although they will probably never have another anime gig, nor will there ever be another that suits them so well, I will always have a special spot reserved for The Pillows (FLCL)

Yoko Kanno was the first anime composer I ever really noticed. I can't really pick a favorite score from her, but Cowboy Bebop and WOlf's Rain were definitely her best work. My fave song by far though, is "Inner Universe".

I think Kanno's awesome. I've never heard of anyone else with such musical range.
Also, you may want to add Kaoru Wada (Inu-Yasha, Ninja Scroll, Gilgamesh) to this list.
P.S. EricTheFred, Taku Iwasaki didn't do the Kenshin TV series, just the OVA's. Also, he did the music for Get Backers.

Vision of Escaflowne is the name of the song. If that is the one that you are talking about.
The song goes like this,
Escaflowne...
Gaia ga umareshi toki, tomo ni umareshi mono
Ikari ga daichi wo furuwase, ten ni arashi
wo yobu
Escaflowne...
