VG Music Thread

[Acid]

Because I am sure there are tunes we all love and enjoy even after years of gaming. If you have some favorites you can share them with others in here.
Or just talk about VG music in general. I'm sure we all can profit from this, many ears hear a lot more and maybe you remember tracks you buried deep within your head.

Let me start by giving you some real nostalgia gems which I hold dear even today:

FF: Mystic Quest - Boss Battle

FF: Mystic Quest - Final Boss

[Da Dood]

My absolute favorite VG tracks are Stickerbrush Symphony (Donkey Kong Country 2) and the Mega Man 3 Intro.

Honorable mention: Theme of Laura (Silent Hill 2)

[Acid]

and the Mega Man 3 Intro.

You sir, have absolutely great taste and my opinion about you just went skyrocket.

[Protoman Blues]

SNES F-Zero - White Land 1
SNES F-Zero - White Land 2

It's funny how the track from Brawl just got my right back into the SNES F-Zero soundtrack.  I was completely ashamed of myself for not having it downloaded yet, which I promptly did after my reminder of how [tornado fang]ing much I love the SNES F-Zero soundtrack. 

SSBB - SNES F-Zero White Land

Just because I love the Brawl Remix of this song so damn much.  It's easily one of my favorite songs to Brawl too, and also to drive to as well.  Oh, I think I got the car up to about 80-85 MPH while playing this one time.  I couldn't go past 88MPH, for obvious reasons!

More to come...

My absolute favorite VG tracks are Stickerbrush Symphony (Donkey Kong Country 2)

Then please please watch this, if you already haven't!

[Da Dood]

Wow, that was an instant YT fav, PB. Thanks!

And speaking of instant YT favs (that are also VG tracks), this is my favorite YouTube video of 2008.

GONG: Final Boss Remix

I enjoyed how Banpresto managed to perfectly remake a song that was performed by JAM Project, the theme of this game. As well as other mixes to various songs for each character in the game.

[Acid]

Final Fantasy IX has one of the best bossthemes in the series. If not one of the best bossthemes ever. If this doesn't sound like HUGE BOSS COMING AROUND then nothing does.

[Da Dood]

If this doesn't sound like HUGE BOSS COMING AROUND

That and this.

[Protoman Blues]

Wow, that was an instant YT fav, PB. Thanks!

Glad I Could Help!   

Getting back to F-Zero for a moment...

SNES F-Zero - Port Town

I would love to hire the composer/composers who did the three remixes for Brawl from the SNES F-Zero, and have them do the entire soundtrack.  Especially this song, as I've always loved it.

SNES F-Zero - Fire Field

I mean, they took an already [tornado fang]ing awesome song and made this Remix on the Brawl soundtrack:

SSBB - F-Zero Fire Field

I simply love the opening guitar on this song.

Also, another quick one from F-Zero: 

SNES F-Zero - Silence

This was another kick ass track, and I found this really kick ass remix of it on YouTube.   

So 80's version of Silence! 

[Bolt Crank]

Sonic 3D Blast Genesis version: Panic Puppet Zone 1

and, i know technically this doesnt count as the game was never released, but its STILL a VGM.
Space Queen's stage BGM. from Sonic Xtreme.

[Protoman Blues]

Final Fantasy IX has one of the best bossthemes in the series. If not one of the best bossthemes ever. If this doesn't sound like HUGE BOSS COMING AROUND then nothing does.

I'll agree.  I've never played the game, and I'll definitely say that that's bonafide bad-ass boss music.

As of right now, this is probably still my favorite Boss Music ever. 

This is RIGHT [tornado fang]ing up there as well.   

[Solar]

KOF music needs much, MUCH more love.

Trash Head (Goenitz's ('96 final boss) theme).
Origin of Mind (Orochi ('97 final boss) theme).
Bloody (New Face Team's theme)
Flames of Destiny (Orochi Chris' theme)
Esaka? (Kyo Kusanagi's theme in '96(damn, there are a lot of official versions of Esaka >.>)

These are only a few AND the original ones, the arranged versions are oh so awesome.

YOU MUST LISTEN TO THEM. THIS PLACE NEEDS MORE KOF LOVE.

[Trask]

THIS PLACE NEEDS MORE KOF LOVE.

Delivered, my friend.

I've been a VG Music collector in the recent years. Falcom is genius in that department. With the games like Ys Series, Sora no Kiseki/Legend of Heroes, Xanadu & a lot more. I also got in love with Wild Arms Music.

Gunmetal Action - My ultimate favorite. I really doubt if there's something out there that can dethrone it in my top list. It's like a complete story which have a Exposition, Rising Action, Climax which I  so much, so as the Falling Action & finally the very outstanding Resolution.

Added w/ Leave it to me, both of it serves as a complete satisfaction in my listening pleasure.

G.I Joe Atlantis Factor Stage 1 Theme

Etrian Odyssey Battle Theme - Super Arrange Version

Project Sylpheed OST - Operation Nebula Blaze

Shao Pai Long [Macross] - 

DarkWorld A Link To The Past - But of course, very Heroic.

[Jericho]

Video game music is the best kind of music because of it's diversity. Admit it. There isn't a set guideline and there aren't guaranteed results. Something might be done one way that couldn't be done in another genre. This thread is a good idea by the way because it'll allow me to gush over some of my favorite little tunes and memorable melodies.

Also since we'll more than likely mention some composers in here, Koji Kondo, Jun Senoue & Hideki Naganuma are gods of the field imo.

-everything you said about white land-

I see all of this, and say that that's the same way I'd be about Fire Field, especially the orgasmic Brawl remix. I. LOVE. THIS. SONG!

EDIT - Oh [tornado fang], how did I forget THE boss theme from Star Fox 64?

Personally I thought that the best tune in Demon's Crest was The Ending, the good part starts around 2:00.

[Nekomata]

Jelly is the only winner in this thread, cause he's the only one to post Mario 3.

[Protoman Blues]

Jelly is the only winner in this thread, cause he's the only one to post Mario 3.

But he didn't post the Airship theme, which is a travesty right there that I was going to rectify after I started my usual StarFox SNES soundtrack is superior to StarFox 64 soundtrack with him! 

[VixyNyan]

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Airship

[Protoman Blues]

Remember kids...if you don't jump as high as possible to catch the wand, then you fail.

[VixyNyan]

Yay, I'm not fail~! ^^
