Here's mine:

That depends whether we are talking about opening sequence as a whole or just the music. In case of the former, definitely Ergo Proxy (
link) - it's quite simple but very well put together and fits the series perfectly.
When it comes to music alone, I could just go on and on. Let me give a few examples (in no particular order):
Rayearth
Hyouka
TTGL
Aquarion
Arpeggio

There's just something about those late 90-early 2000 english anime openings.

god damn fighting foodon lol.
Oh this is probably the most badass OP I saw when I was a kid:
[video=youtube;3l6UrTqR55E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l6UrTqR55E[/video]
The old anime has this distinct style to it that's missing in newer animes. The film grain like shadow and the way explosion and energy beam was colored looks really amazing. I kind of miss that style of animation.

I guess I like abstract-y OP videos that try and put their own spin on the james bond films type of opening sequence.

I need to watch gunsmith cats someday. I got a feeling you are going to love Baccano! If you haven't seen it already.
Persona Anime has this acid jazz theme and abstract op as well although the story isn't quite like cowboy or city hunter

Why not both, you can split them into categories if you want.

Both. Some people are posting based on the song, some people are posting based on the video, some people are posting ones with both good song and good video.
