What is your favorite song(s) from a videogame?

[Dud]

Mine: Atolm Dragon (Panzer Dragoon Saga) and the Silent Hill Theme.

 

[racketboy]

Currently: Jet Set Radio Future's "The Concept of Love" also from Sega's arcade game that is similar to JSR that I can't remember the name of.

 

[link343]

Now: Open Your Heart From Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX and the Harbor theme from Shenmue.

 

[axelblazeadam]

Mine changes all the time, but currently I like Silent Hill 2's "Theme of Laura". I'm a very big fan of videogame music and listing all my favorites would take forever.

Some of my favorites:

Star Light Zone / Green Hill Zone from Sonic

Wicked Child from Castlevania

Act 2 / Scene 2 music from Ninja Gaiden 2

Rock is Sponge and Creation - State of Art from Rez

Level 1 and 2 music from Hellfire

(not really from any video games, but close enough)FX by Virt

Overworld and Underworld themes from The Legend of Zelda

most of the tunes from Shinobi 3

level 1 music from Viewpoint (original Neo version)

[lordofduct]

this not much i can say to that... ive forgotten what my favorite is after reading that.

 

[Xavier]

i like the soundtrack to revenge of shinobi that musician does good work

and as people pointed out viewpoints soundtrack rocks

 

[lordofduct]

i love the "snot a problem" song in "earthworm jim"... i used to carry that game around with me and listen to it in my portable cd player at school back in 6th grade all the time. WOW, memories.

I also carried around sonic cd too. that has some killer tunes. I didn't own any real music cd's except U2 "achtung baby" and "modern english"... so i needed something to grown my music collection.

 

[Rorscach]

Without a doubt my personal fave would be Xenogears' very own theme of Lahan. The Creid version that is.

Suikoden 1's ending is very, very nice. Tidus' theme (piano), Vagrant Story's Staff roll, and many many more. After Cloud's spiel, I'm cutting it uber short.

And is it just me, or has there NEVER been a game with a Jazz soundtrack? Mr. Bones had some nice steel stringed guitar, but as for jazz...nothing on the top of my head. Except the hair.

 

[link343]

Now my favorite song is One More Time by Daft Punk.

 

[ExCyber]

This is a tough one; I'm probably forgetting some, but these easily make the cut:

Final Fantasy 6 - Dancing Mad

Final Fantasy 6 - The Decisive Battle

Final Fantasy 5 - Clash on the Big Bridge

Final Fantasy 4 - Red Wings

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Young Nobleman of Sadness

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wood Carving Partita

Castlevania (various) - Vampire Killer

Ikaruga - Butsutekkai

Gradius - Challenger 1985

Gradius - Free Flyer

And is it just me, or has there NEVER been a game with a Jazz soundtrack? Mr. Bones had some nice steel stringed guitar, but as for jazz...nothing on the top of my head. Except the hair.

Hmm.. good point. Maybe King's theme from AOF (can't really remember it right now)? Or the track from Guardian Heroes when you meet Zur for the first time (has a nice horn section). But yeah, nothing I would really consider real jazz... you'd think someone would have tapped that for a puzzle game or something.

 

[Rorscach]

So the point stands. We either get a game with a great jazz sound, or one with slap bass and a little wicky wah wah. Hasn't been done either. Not even in BMX XXX. Strange that. :huh

 

[yasminkov]

My fav game music would have to be errrm actually the entire Shenmue album and Panzer Dragoon Saga album. Great music.. 1000 words from X2 and to zanarkand on X a brilliant to relax to.
