I put Cowboy Bebop in my Top 5. I loved how Cowboy Bebop meshed Jazz with a Futuristic setting, and how Samurai Champloo did the opposite, by mixing contemporary Hip Hop with a Historical setting. I wanted to include both Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo in my top 5 (I loved the beats in Samurai Champloo, RIP Nujabes), but I couldn't fit both, so I decided to at least put one of Watanabe's works in my list.

I've seen Samurai Champloo. SO Cowboy Bebop is by the same guy?

I believe Shinchiro Watanabe directed both Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.  One common theme in both of these series is the heavy incorporation of a particular type of music (Jazz in Cowboy Bebop and Hip Hop in Samurai Champloo), with the music contrasting with each anime's respective setting.
