Chucks Pony Rankings : Season One - The Mane Cast
1. Rainbow Dash While sometimes it may seem Rainbow Dash is all about herself, its really quite the opposite. She always thinks about her friends first but she tends to show it in her own way. Shes tough, energetic, competitive, and always a great character when shes on screen. As the reason I started watching the show, she sure lived up to how awesome I thought she and the show could be.
2. Pinkie Pie Pinkie Pie is fucking crazy. She writes songs for the most random of things. She makes comments and asks questions about the most random of thoughts. She lost her mind after her friends were ignoring her for only one day. These are the reasons I love Pinkie Pie. She is always brings a great comical presence when she is on screen and brings the humor and writing of the show to the next level.
3. Fluttershy Always raising the cuteness level of any episode when shes involved, Fluttershy is impossible to not love when you get to know her. She tries to never impose on anypony and her manners toward everypony are unmatched. Shes simply adorable.
4. Applejack Applejack is the one character you can almost always guess what shell say or what shell do at any given time. She makes the show a little predictable and even clichéd at times. Her stubbornness occasionally leaves me questioning her motivations for her actions and whether her friends feelings mean that much to her. I still like her, she just needs to think more before she acts.
5. Twilight Its hard to really describe a character that almost always plays the role of audience stand-in. Shes an all right character but needs to move past the typical bookworm archetype worrying about the Princess so much. Shes just not that interesting.
6. Rarity Oh, where to begin. Rarity is without a doubt in my mind, a mean, selfish, narcissistic pony who always puts herself first before even considering anypony else. She is uptight and overconfident in the most obnoxious way. Raritys love for attention is often off-putting and some of the things she does against her friends feelings are often disgusting. She is a terrible pony I never want to have anything to do with.

And here we have...
Myke's Season One Song Ranking
1. At The Gala - When around mid-season, composer Daniel Ingram was asked what song he had composed for the show was his favorite, he told us it was a song we hadn't heard yet and gave us a few details on how that song just blowed the others out of the water in terms of scope. I found it hard to believe - I was still fresh from Winter Wrap Up and Art of the Dress, and had a hard time imagining how those could be topped in sheer appeal. And then I heard it, and it all became clear. What I couldn't imagine, was how far they were willing to go for such a low-budget show. And if the show was at a level far above what we could expect from the MLP franchise, then this song is at another whole level above the show itself. The whole package, despite its limitations, leaves about half of all musical acts from Disney movies sobbing in the corner of the room. From the distinct solos for each character, full to the brim with personality, to the incredibly catchy "at the gala" riff, ending with the spectacular climax, it all comes together to form the perfect introduction to "the best night ever".
There's only one thing that keeps this song from perfection: the horrible trumpet playing along with the chorus near the end. Once you hear it, you won't be able to unhear it. I would leave it out or replace it with some softer horns.
This song actually makes me sad when thinking of my season two introduction project, because I'm never going to be able to write something that comes even near to living up to this.
2. Art of the Dress - What, no "Winter Wrap Up"? WWU might be the catchiest song in the season, but AotD does something different: whereas WWU is an exposition song, AotD is part of the story itself, serving both as a montage and a chronicle of Rarity's ever-increasing stress and frustration at her friends. The singer nails it perfectly too, with the enthusiasm and joy patent at the beginning replaced with growing anxiety and exasperation for the second part of the song. And then, there's the message, that ressonates within each of us that has ever been in Rarity's position of having to do creative work at the bidding of a client. It's this relevance to the adult listener that sets this apart from the next entry.
3. Winter Wrap Up - So, so, so catchy. And so well executed. You just feel like singing this, despite being incredibly tricky to sing, due to all the fast part switching. It's the most catchy song in the show so far, and despite being simpler than the two songs above it, is deceivingly complex for a "poppy" song. Twilight's singing voice really gets a chance to shine here.
4. The Cutie Mark Crusaders Theme - Awesome glam 80's pop/rock reference, and an hilariously bad performance (way better executed than Pinkie's attempt at a stage trainwreck). It's not a song to remember for itself, but for the part it played in its episode, and what it ended up being rewarded for: a great comedy act.
5. My Very Best Friends (intro song)
6. Giggle at the Ghostly
7. So Many Wonders
8. Evil Enchantress (particularly the Flutterguy version)
9. The Pony Pokey - Hilarious when you're watching the video, particularly the parts with Rarity and Fluttershy ("COME OUT!")
10. Pinkie's Singing Telegram
11. Hush Now, Quiet Now
12. The Grand Galloping Gala
13. Cupcakes
14. You Gotta Care, You Gotta Share - I really don't care for this one, as much as Pinkie would like me to.
15. Hop, Skip and Jump
16. Twilight is my Bestest Friend

Well said, Myke! There's just one thing I can't agree with here...
So Many Wonders is number 7? Really?
I mean, I know it was short, but it was a fantastic piece. Not to mention that it's Filly Fluttershy singing. There is nothing cuter than that in the entire world. I doubt that any brony who watched that episode for the first time did not give a giant d'awwwwww at that point.
Of course, that could just be the Fluttershy fan in me speaking...

I'm also a Fluttershy fan, but if I can point anything at the song is that the sudden change in pace made Andrea Libman almost revert to her Pinkie Pie voice, which I found a little weird. ^_^;The_Author's_Apprentice said:
I also thought the ending was a little abrupt ("I love everything"... OK.)

Well maybe the unicorns, since nothing magical about pegasi and puggles (muggle ponies)
Once again Myke your list is pretty much the same as mine, although I'd probably put So Many Wonders at number 4 and bring Cupcakes and You Gotta Care up a bit.Myke Greywolf said:
And while we are on the topic of music, I was messing around with the instrumental version of At The Gala earlier and managed to make a looping version of the background music that plays during Rainbow Dash's part that I think makes a pretty good phone ringtone. If anyone wants to give it a listen and maybe put it on their phone I uploaded it here.
The actual clip lasts 16 seconds, but I made that mp3 a minute long in case anyone has a phone like mine that doesn't handle short repeating files well.
Hurray! I'm part of the Birthday Club.

I made these avatars from the images on that page though (not perfect since I just quickly used magic wand):
Also, there's a personality quiz here:
