Did any memorable music come from the Star Wars prequels?

Remind me, did the Sith theme debut in the original trilogy?
People can shit on the Prequels all day, but if they deny the fact that the Droids were all awesome I can point at someone who threw up a pile of bullshit with a pair of nostalgia goggles in the middle.

Well...the rolling droidekas were awesome. The ordinary droids were not just unawesome, they were so unthreatening the Jedi actually looked like bullies whenever they destroyed one. Stop picking on the battle droids, you bullies! All they want to do is say roger, roger as a response to all environmental stimuli!

The B1s would have been fine if not for getting turned into comic relief.
Across the Stars was quite nice.
I dunno. They're a bit too flimsy to really take seriously even if they weren't characterized as so goofy and stupid, but I suppose they make sense as a private army for cheapskates like the Trade Federation - they fold up to the size of a backpack, so you can fit thousands of them in a very small space and save room for paying cargo! The super battle droids at least have some heft to them. They were apparently supposed to look like skeletal Neimodians, then Lucas changed the design of the Neimodians so that idea didn't work.

Y'see I'm the opposite. The B2s are too bulky and clumsy looking for me to take seriously. They're almost cartoonish and their hands don't permit them to use any other weapons.
Meanwhile the B1s can fly speeders, operate landing ships, pilot tanks, carry blasters, sniper rifles, and bazookas . . . They just make more sense to me as cheap soldiers if they were just built a bit more sturdy and weren't so hilariously moronic.

the commando droids from the cartoon were awesome.

Agreed. You could give a commando droid orders and honestly expect them to get shit done. The fact that Thane actually considered them worth half a damn as back up sells it for me.

More on topic, I did like "Across the Stars," Anakin and Padme's love theme, which is a gorgeous piece even though the relationship was pretty shoddily portrayed:
And "Anakin's Betrayal" captures the sheer tragedy of Order 66 so well:
And I'm sure there's tons of great tracks that are slipping my mind. The music is almost certainly the one aspect of the prequels--which I did enjoy, even though I acknowledge their flaws--where quality didn't slip between the OT and PT, since it's still John fucking Williams at the helm.

I don't know why but this particular track was pretty memorable to me.

I like Batt-
And it's pretty weird, but I like the celebration music from the end of TPM.
This. Add in "Anakin's Betrayal" as well.

I don't think I've heard anyone complain about John Williams' score for the three movies. That's one thing that you can get people to almost unanimously agree on when it comes to prequels on a positive note.
A lot of the stand out one's people have already mentioned but there are a few battle pieces that I really love.
Pretty sure this isn't the correct title but this a track I've heard a lot its pretty awesome. Perfect for an exciting battle scene.

I did as well. It goes well with Yub Nub, I can't sing along to it quite as well, but I still have it on playlists.
As a whole, I enjoy the entire range of the music, although Duel of the Fates is always going to be the standout.
