Never understood Elly's fascination with the Lufia 2 soundtrack (though it may be a carry-over from her love of the series). It seems very bland to me. The battle themes are particularly 'motorbike music', even moreso than Final Fantasy Mystic Quest's. Ugh! Not a big fan of the 'SNES sound' in general, though I agree, Super Metroid has an excellent soundtrack (it doesn't try to use strings like most RPGs on it, hah)

Come on! Have you even heard 'For the Savior'? Incredible song! Every time I listen to it, the ending of the game immediately rushes into my thought as clearly as if I had played it just yesterday. The first time I played through it I had tears in my eyes the whole way through.

I just downloaded and listened to it. It's just so... obvious. The rhythm, the instrumentation, the tune - it's like music by numbers. Also, the SNES poor string sounds hurt it a fair bit. It's okay, but it's just too simple to be anything special.

Not the best music ever or anything, but Mass Effect has some interesting techno ambient synth music that is pretty sweet.

JXQ's biggest fan.

Has anyone heard the soundtrack to "AAHHH!! Real Monsters"? I don't know who Greg Turner is, but he does the best Danny Elfman impression I've ever heard.

I find it interesting, I've been listening to a lot of music that's been linked to, and generally not greatly enjoyed it. I wonder if a large amount of enjoyment of the music comes from the emotions the video games created when we first played them, and not the music itself...

Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

The ending credits to Yoshi's Island is still the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard anywhere. I was really pissed off that it was cut out of the TAS. The second most beautiful piece of music was from an anime, but it was the Kirby anime, (Hoshi no Kaabii) so it sort of counts as video game related. (but not really)

That's definitely true. Blinx has quite average music, but in combination with the sheer difficulty and frustration of the game, it has been assigned (in my head) a kind of 'triumphant' feel. Especially the end-level music, haha. I would say the same for most of the music on Sonic 1, because it's almost all lame pop songs. I still enjoy it though (I was a Mega Drive kid).

Deus Ex for PC and PS2 has some of the best music I've heard in a FPS. The fan-mod ZODIAC also has top-notch music.

the best music is in the genesis ecco in the title screen when you start the game. this pack has some of the best musics, but all of them might not be from videogames: http://www.keygenmusic.net/?page=pack/packlist&lang=sv 1246 songs and only 30mb

The only correct answer is Dire, Dire Docks from Super Mario 64.

Was it from early on in the show or later? Because a lot of the later music is originally from Kirby Air Ride or other games. As for my choices, right now I'm really into the Super Robot Wars Alpha themes, because hell yeah Jam Project!

I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Except something like 90% of Air Ride's music is remixed Kirby fare. (It's good kirby fare, but hardly originating there)

SotN had some decent tunes, but something like 60% of the second castle all used the same bad theme, which is a major black mark there. My favored Castlevania games for music are SCIV and Dracula X. For the Megaman series, 3 has the best music, no question. There's tons of good RPG scores out there. Y'all should check out Grandia II sometime.

Naaaah. 2-4 all have a lot of great tunes. (2 exceptionally with the first stage of Dr. Wily, 4 with Skull and Pharaoh stages, Cossack 3/4) Agree with Link to the Past- particularly Dark Overworld.

hmm... Considering the hardware, the best music I ever heard in a videogame was in NES Legend of Zelda. You power the console and BANG! tan-taan... taan-tan--tan-tan-tan-taaan.... UNBEATABLE. PERIOD. But other games have some awesome soundtrack, like NES Castlevania, SNES Donkey Kong Country, SNES Metal Warriors, SNES F-Zero, GBA Yggdra Union, N64 Goldeneye and ARCADE Killer Instinct.

It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
