I liked that song at first...but then I spent, you know, 20 minutes trying to make a character, and after that it started to get on my nerves. Now I cringe when I hear it!

I always thought that The Legend of Zelda had the most classic themes ever. I mean, honestly, ever since the first one that game has been a staple for great music. Which is good, I suppose, since it tends to lean on the musical theme a lot. But I can listen to Soule's Morrowind soundtrack over and over and over and...
Huzzah!

A revival! *cheer*

Let me do this the easy way. Here are the three playlists I've made of game musics I enjoy. The first two have sixty in them. The third is still in progress.

Interesting...

You know, there's more to Sonic the Hedgehog music than Chemical Plant Zone, the Sonic 2 special stage and ending themes, and Wrapped in Black. Themes like Final Zone and Scrap Brain Zone from the first game, Hydrocity Zone act 2, the final boss theme, Lava Reef Zone act 1, and the special stage theme from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, just to name the other highlights of the Genesis era.

I'm so sorry for spamming my own thread.
Anyway, I LOVED the Sly Cooper theme. Soundtrack to my childhood. Along with Socom 2. Another great theme.

In good time, sir, in good time. I'm trying to not have the same game (or preferably franchise) in rapid succession. You missed Mystic Cave Zone, btw. Agreed with Scrap Brain and Final. I never actually played Sonic 3.


ltgt, you asked for our favorite music themes. Don't criticize someone for posting their's. At least not if that's all you're going to say. It isn't like you own the thread just because you started it. I personally like a number of the C&C themes, although I don't *love* any of them.


BTW, is it too much to ask, when you post a link, to actually post what it is. I don't like clicking random YouTube links. I shouldn't have to tell you why.

Grabbag, the theme to Duke Nukem. My favorite official release of the theme would have to be this one, although many fantastic covers exist out there.

This song from Bastion. Maybe Zulf's theme too, but it's just not the same without the actual gameplay.
