I had not considered differing versions of the same music track when I made my list. Otherwise we're missing the disc-based X3, both Xtremes, and MHX. Should have probably snuck Command Mission in there somewhere too.
I have to admit I did kinda like the disc-based X3 boss intro, though. There was something strangely hypnotic about it.
I wasn't considering them either. I was mainly just answering his question. And I have no problem with the BOSS 1/Boss Intro theme from X3 in either the SNES or Saturn version. I like it a hell of a lot more than I like the X3 boss theme.
No argument here.
I think you're severely over-estimating my opinion of the X3 boss tune. I ranked it 6th out of 9. And numbers 8 and 9 on that list I considered garbage. As I said earlier, X2 is the only "dignified" boss tune that I consider arguable as compared to X3. And even in that instance there is no doubt in my mind that X2 is better composed than X3's trained monkey jingle, it's just a matter of how they fit as a boss BGM.
You know, we probably should make a separate topic to compare MM Soundtracks.
