Title: Underrated BGMs and Songs
Post by: HyperSonicEXE on December 12, 2008, 04:13:14 AM
Yeah, we all know the "favorites" of the series like the MM2 Wily Stage 1 or MMX1 Intro Stage, but what about your favorite unsung song?

Well post it here, and we'll laugh at you discuss what makes a song our favorite, even though others may hardly even remember it.

I've gotta say that MM4's Wily Stage 2 creates a nice sense of urgency with just a hint of the unknown. You really can feel like you're traveling down (sometimes literally) those corridors trying to find Dr. Wily, your nemesis whom you assumed had bought the farm last time.

Toad Man's theme is absolutely fantastic, yet you can count the number of remixes it's received on one hand. But then, it seems like MM4 music on the whole is largely slept on. Sucks, really.

It is funky! That's a piece that'd make for some good interpretations in a number of genres. There's enough pauses in it; you might could even pull off some Metal.

Megaman 4 complete works boss music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Xcc3knMU0&feature=related)  complete works made that tune even better than it already was.

MM4's final battle music is probably my fav of all the final battle themes in classic MM. Love that tune.

Skull Man's theme is also excellent. Some sweet remixes came out of it like Soldier of the Underworld, my fave Skull Man remix.

Zero's X4 theme.
Title: Re: Underrated BGMs and Songs
Post by: HyperSonicEXE on December 13, 2008, 12:25:44 AM
Zero's X4 theme.

Catchy though it is, I have a hard time trying to place it above Zero's X1 theme.

Unless Capcom makes a theme more along the lines of "Oh, by the way, this great hero and your best friend is your worst enemy's greatest creation."

Meaning the theme would have to have some Wily stage or boss influences.

Top Man (i assume the song is underrated cause he's hated so much for some reason)


Spike Rosered


TopMan is hated? I had no idea >.< his weapon is awesome, his stage is awesome, his music is awesome, as for TopMan himself, he's fun, easy, but still fun.

Spike Rosered, ah, one of the few reasons I play X5, it has such a smashing OST, I'm doubting however that it's Sigma Stage, Shadow Devil Battle, Rangda Bangda W battle and Sigma Final Battle 2 are underrated.
Oh, and X5 has like, the best regular Boss Battle theme ever (X8's comes close).

On X8, Lumine Battle 1, Noah Park Ambience, Final Sigma Battle and Central White, go forth and worship them.

Songs I think are underrated,

Wily stage 3
WEB F*CKING SPIDER (how can you NOT like it!?)
Sigma Battle 1(the dark, less upbeat one) (X4)
Supreme Ruler (?)gba (#1 favorite music theme, alltime since '03)
Magnetic Rumble gba
The Last -The Wish Punished- RTRZ
Cool Hearted Fellow RTRZ&gba
Volcano RTRZ&gba
Max Heat RTRZ&gba
Blaze Down RTRZ&gba
Sky High -Grand Nuage- nds
Pallida Mors ZXT
Snake Eyes nds
Phalanx nds
Last Battle (vs Andromeda) (personal #3 favorite final battle theme ever)
Confrontation with a God (#4, <3 Yoshino Aoki)

I'm still leaving out a horde of track but this should cover the most prominent in my eyes, not sure if all are underrated, but I don't hear people often about these awesome tracks.

Personally, I'm a sucker for Eurobeat, drumrolls and breakbeat, so things like Spark Mandriller, Gate Stages, Supreme Ruler, Last Battle and Cool Hearted Fellow naturally make me feel all fuzzy inside.
Oh and 8bit music also does wonders, tho I've come to find that unless someone a gamer, they tend to call it "not music", and loathe it....hell I even have a couple of gamer friends that call it "not music", so I suppose it just isn't for everyone >.>

Wily Machine from Mega Man 9, and Final Battle with Rockman Juno from Mega Man Legends demonstrate what final battles should sound like, IMHO .

Word, but with adding Sigma X5, Fake, the final battle themes of SSR1~3 and ofcourse RM3 & 4 Wily.

That tune is indeed orgasmic.  I advise anyone who calls themselves any kind of fan of MegaMan music to track down Disco Dan's "Wily Stage 3 - Impendium" remix.  Absolutely divine.

One of my favorite/most underrated BGMs is Straight Ahead, Physis version.  I swear that needs to be Zero's theme music at some point.

I must be unusual in liking the first fortress tune the best, but what I really like is how well the three fortress themes flow into each other, transitioning from a peppy action melody into a grim, foreboding march.

It's underrated 'cuz it can't be loved enough. :P

Alright, alright, I'll dig for the more obscure:  Freebirds, from ZX Gigamix, and the Library theme from Legends 1.  And of course we cannot forget "The Answer" from X6 intro/Soul Eraser commercial.  That song kicks much ass.

It's hard to pick out "underrated" MegaMan themes (besides Legends seeings how the whole damn series is underrated).  The music of the series is pretty well known.

You know, going through the MegaMan Classic Shuffle, I think this is a very underrated song in MM History.  I've always loved this theme.

Rediscovered it in the Rockman Chiptuned set of songs. Good stuff; it just needed some attitude! And the Chiptuned album did just that!

Soldier Blade is a Rockman game now? >U<

Five Inti albums later, some of the finer tunes of Z1's Remastered Tracks faded out of memory.

Ah, Enemy Hall.  It has been too long...  I think that song single-handedly demonstrates why a game collection featuring Remastered Tracks needs to be done.

MM6's soundtrack is grossly underrated.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhJ7Ss-puVY[/youtube]
While everyone else is still splurging themselves over MM2's or 9's Wily Stage 1 themes Mr. X's theme can very easily keep up with them.

Though for the low quantity of MM6 remixes they sure make it up with quality (http://www.youtube.com/user/Vurez#grid/user/C41900F6A2D35E5B).

MM6 music are great! Except Centaurman's theme.

There's a Mr. X Stage (http://www.mediafire.com/?gdmnyjwyhmx) remix done by Kokke. Unfortunately his site is currently down.

Hmmmn.

Well firstly the title song of Megaman 4. It's my favourite Title song Capcom ever made.
Also from 4; Ring Man, Bright Man. and especially Dive Man.
I didn't really like 5 but I really liked Stone Man's theme. ALso Wave Man bcause it meninds me of Slash Man ( I played 7 before 5)
Plant Man from 6, The final battle theme  and the Wily fortress song.
All of the Megaman 7 soundtrack epecifically Freeze Man, Bass' them, and the password tune. Don't ask. =P
Grenade Man from 8. Also Duo's theme.
Cold Man from Rockman and Forte.
All the character themes from Battle and Chase and Duel (wily's stage course.)

Wire Sponge (from Xtreme or Extreme 2, I forget)
The overseas promotional theme for Maverick Hunter X. (the instrumental song that we gotinstead of Don't wanna be by Spinwake)
The Answer (opening for X6)
Crecent Grizzly's stage song.
Megaman X 8's OST minus Gigabolt Man O War's song...
A lot of songs from X6.
Zero's intro level from X7 as well as Tornado Tonion's.
Most of the character themes from Command Mission.

Determined eyes from Zxa.

The main theme for Starforce 2.
The minor battle song from Starforce.

A few songs from the battle network games like 3' main theme as well as 3's minor battle theme.

I know it's a lot but hey. could be a lot more I guess.

Ring Man, my favorite number 1 MM4 music.

And Dr.Weil's theme from MMZ3 is perfect, so sad it was absent in MMZ4.

Magnet Man from MMBN2.

Opening Stage X from MMX4.

Gravity Man from Mega Man Network Transmission.

And my favorite Wily stage music still remain MM3's first and second songs, but it seems some have acknowledged the second song also.

I don't blame anyone for overlooking this considering it only plays on the complete works version of Mega Man 5, but seriously... The staff roll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgCs20MaweQ) theme has got to be the most beautiful song in all of Mega Man.
