Dot Hack Sign is a mid, but it's opening is great. Obsession by See-Saw.

.hack//sign isn't as good as I remember it being as a kid, but the sense of strangeness and mystery is something missing from modern mmo anime. To their detriment, imo. When I eventually played an mmo for the first time, I was disappointed it wasn't "weird like .hack//sign".
It does still have top notch music, character design, art, and world building. It's just that characters get annoying and the plot is too slow-paced and repetitive. If you like other weird anime like Serial Experiments Lain or Ergo Proxy (which is also too slow-paced) then I'd say you should give it a shot.
Edit: As to your question, Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 wasn't as good as original Stand Alone Complex (though I did finish it, so it wasn't bad, but it had a great second op. The ED for that season was also extra good.
