Final Fantasy Characters and Fitting Personal Theme Music

[KBGaming&&Music 0]

Now, this might not even be something people discuss, we wouldn't know since it does fall under fandom.

Anyway, we discussed this sometime ago, and came up with a list of songs that fit the personality of various Final Fantasy characters, trying to be era-accurate when possible.
(era-accurate meaning that the song must of been recorded before the game's initial release)
So, here we go.

Era-Accurate: War Pigs/Luke's Wall; Paranoid; Black Sabbath, 1975, Proto Metal; Guitar Hero II (WaveGroup Cover), Rock Band DLC (WaveGroup Cover)

Yes, we're about to drop Sephiroth's songs on ya, but I'm pretty sure you already know what we agreed upon, because we all said it within five seconds of asking.
Sephiroth: ("I'll always pull your strings...")
Era-Accurate: Master of Puppets; Metallica, 1986; Guitar Hero METALLICA
Era-Non-Accurate: Balls to the Wall; Accept, 1984, Metal; Guitar Hero ENCORE: Rocks the 80's (WaveGroup Cover)
(there are a number of songs that definitely compliment Sephiroth's personality but Master of Puppets is Sephiroth's personality)

Some characters, we couldn't really agree upon, mainly because past VII, only a few of us have experienced games/characters from later in the series; according to Aylee, her mom used to play the shit out of XI, though since she's long since passed we can't corroborate this directly...

So, there are some characters not listed. Moving on!

Final Fantasy VIII:
Rinoa:
Era-Accurate: Listen to Her Heart; You're Gonna get It!; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1978, Rock; Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Era-Non-Accurate: ---

Final Fantasy IX:
Kuja:
Era-Accurate: Higher; Human Clay; Creed, 1999, Rock; Rock Band Network (RBN), revision by pzych0 of FoF Forums and us.
Era-Non-Accurate: ---

Obviously, we still are discussing this, and some of the characters have four or more songs that fit them perfectly, era-accurate or no, and yes, this does exclude a lot of song genres because we typically don't listen to rap, hip-hop and 'pop' music. So, how about you? Do you agree with us, or do you think that there may be more fitting songs? Are there characters we didn't list that you have fitting songs for? Let us know! The floor is open!

Rock steady, people.
