[OffTheChain]

Devil May Cry 3 had an impressive selection.

 

[PIMPSLAP]

yea it had like 2 ddr remixs and it was fun he looked tom cruz in DMC 4 lol

I also like the music from guilty gear alot as well

 

[Meleeruler]

Let's see here. From the top of my head:

Jenova from FF7
Bowser final battle from Yoshi's Island
Smithy's theme from SMRPG
Palkia/Dialga battle theme from Diamond/Pearl
Anything from Twilight Princess

Yeah.

 

[Symphony X]

Mario Minor by Powerglove.

Or So Sexy Robotnik, also by Powerglove.

 

[lycrof]

I am partial to the music from the Donkey kong country games

 

[Symphony X]

In terms of actual video game music (Powerglove is vgmetal), I'd have to say that Super Mario Galaxy had an amazing score. (Is that the right word? Score?)

 

[Exovel]

I know I'm a bit old school nowadays, but here's what I think.

1) Sonic 2
2) Zelda: OoT
3) Super Mario
4) Cutthroat Island (Genesis)
5) NHL Hitz... 2003? (I'm not really sure on the year, I just remember the tracks got stuck in my head a lot)

 

[Symphony X]

I love the soundtrack to Cruis'n USA. It may just be the nostalgia of it, but it's amazing.

From the days of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, video games have almost always been accompanied by music. Music in video games began as brief jingles to start a level, and then it began to play during the level. As video game systems advanced, their sound capabilities also advanced. With more available channels and new techniques, composers were able to create more elaborate and better sounding pieces.

Yeah, I think we are all pretty aware of that. So, what's the point? It certainly doesn't tell us what you think the best music is.

 

[Symphony X]

My thoughts exactly. Thanks for the history lesson, but I'm pretty sure we are all well aware.

I think we can all agree that the Sonic franchise has always had great music.

amirite?

 

[Exovel]

Yes my good man, you are so very right.

Sonic is supreme.

 

[Symphony X]

Burrito Supreme.

And a Cutler Supreme.

And a Chicken Supreme.

Supreeeeeeeme, yeaahhh.

SUPREME!

Woah, random Tenacious D outburst.

 

[maximus]

For me it's between Duck Tales and Gunsmoke, both NES exclusives.

 

[PIMPSLAP]

i remember gunsmoke that game was my fav growing up even though i like never made it like level 3....

 

[Autydragoon]

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is some of the best I've heard in a long time.

 

[Autydragoon]

I thought about it and brawl has the best music cause it's all the games combined.

 

[Biggum300]

Pollynana and Onett

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Eternal Sonata - Leap the precipice

Lost odyssey- The Gun Barrel of Battle

 

[UberBob]

Stickerbrush Symphony - Donkey Kong Country 2 (known in brawl as Bramble Blast)

All the music from The World Ends with You (for DS)

Legend of Zelda music (classic)

 

[rmporter35]

Almost all of the music in Secret of Mana was fantastic! The Dark World music of a Link to the Past was excellent... Crystal Chronicles on the 'Cube had some nice work on it...

 

[Serris]

This and this.

</thread>

 

[xOPTIMUSxChadx]

F -Zero i love the music to those games

 

[Black Waltz]

Final Fantasy IX.

 

[Spire]

Final Fantasy VIII and IX have perfect soundtracks. I can listen to "Blue Fields" (the overworld theme) from VIII on repeat for hours. IX had gems like "Qu's Marsh" and "Gargan Roo". These soundtracks rival Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but for sanity's sake, I will not compare.

F-Zero GX, Bomberman 64 & Bomberman Hero have incredible soundtracks. I listen to them often.

Also, Stewart Copeland did a wonderful job at scoring the original Spyro trilogy. I do not own the soundtracks, but I do want need.

 

[SkylerOcon]

The most well-balanced soundtrack would have to be Brawl. All types of genres, so that's definitely up there.

However, my favorite is the soundtrack for The World Ends With You. Why? It has actual music. Like, music that was made for the game, but by actual bands that were planning to use them in a concert. The songs get stuck in my head too.

 

[Liontamer]

I'm gonna go off the beaten path and mention Tim Follin's music. He did great work all the way from the oldest systems up until the PSP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Follin

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future was one of his best. Also, if any of you are fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd, Follin did the awesome music for the otherwise awful NES game Silver Surfer!

[OmegaXXII]

Well these by far are some of my favorite videogame OST's:

Final Fantasy VII (One Winged Angel)
Final Fantasy X OST
Grandia II OST
Legend of Dragoon (LOD)
Legend of Legaia (it's definetly underrated)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (consist of a good mix of everything)
Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack
Metal Gear Solid: (Playstaion version)

these are just some that I like, but my favorite definetly has to be Legend of Dragoon, it just has a unique style which I've always enjoy.

 

[notftomearth7]

The Sepiroth theme song from Kingdom Hearts 2
The Kingdom Hearts theme song

Area 6 from Star Fox 64
The original Star Fox game them
Bob-omb Battlefield, from Super Mario 64
Bowser's level from Mario Party 2 was epic.
