I used to think the bowling aftermath music was the best. Wii Sport's best music is it's baseball training music. Dat sax...

Anyone hear the Nintedoland trailer music? It is so un-Nintendo-like, but it is so awesome! It sounds like C418's music in Minecraft, but this is Nintendo! I hope someone makes a sound effect free version.

You guys are all talking about N64 and the most recent generation videogames. But the best music comes from the NES and the SNES ! Haven't you guys played the Castlevania games ? Chrono Trigger ? Super Metroid ? A Link to the Past ? Come on ! Not only is the music from these games awesome, but these games still stand as some of the best games ever made !

Actually I think every single one of the games you mentioned have been linked or referred to already in this thread. An the majority of my posts have been about the 16-bit era but yes I agree with you about how epic that era's music really was. Especially RPG's like Secret Of Mana.

I see some Sega Genesis; some PC games from all era; some N64; some Play Station 1, 2 and 3. I also see some Xbox and Xbox 360. Real quick, I don't see much GameCube and NES. Or maybe I just don't know all these games.

But yes, I might have been quick to judge. Some recent games really do have amazing music, like KOTOR 1 and 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Fable and Halo, of course.

I'm a big fan of the Myst soundtrack. It has an appealing, intelligent atmosphere that I could listen to all day. My 5 favorite video game songs would probably all be from Myst.

As for favorite composers, Robyn Miller is obvious as being the composer for the Myst soundtrack. The only other composer I know is Jesper Kyd, whose music I enjoy as well, particularly the soundtracks for Freedom Fighters and Assassin's Creed II.

Have you guys heard of Galbadia Hotel? I'm 99% certain that the downloads there are legal. It's a great place to get video game soundtracks.

I think I should totally mention these gems:

spreludenew (Prelude in C Minor) - Ib; Hauntingly melancholic music from a surreal game made in RPG Maker. Bone chilling and atmospheric.

Fermata in Mystic Air - Silent Hill 2; Doesn't need an introduction. In my restless dreams...

The Spirit King - Dark Cloud; My favorite track out of the whole game. It is incredibly atmospheric and almost meditative. You can find several extended mixes on youtube.

Conker the King (reprise) - Conker's Bad Fur Day; Man, what an ending. This track can be either moving, anti-climatic at best or both. Totally worth a listen.

I'm glad that someone mentioned Giygas's theme here, because it completely deserved to be listened (either if you were trying to sleep or not). Enjoy!

In light of Kirby's recent 20th Anniversary, i'll be listing 5 of my favorite Kirby songs! (That I havent already said)
So here we go:
Masked King Dedede theme -- Kirby Super Star Ultra
It takes the original King Dedede theme and makes it more quick paced and such and upbeat. Great fight song. Speaking of which....
King Dedede theme -- SSBB remix
The original King Dedede theme is great as well, a very good listen.
Galacta Knight theme -- Kirby Return to Dreamland version
An awesome metal song(or at least metal-ish). Perfect for the guy, and one heck of a theme.
Meta Knight's Revenge -- Kirby Epic Yarn version
Yeah I know, I already posted the SSBB version of it, but this version changes it around so much, the only thing that is the same is the melody. Pretty much everything else is different, and that is what makes it so awesome
Rock Star level theme -- Kirby 64
This song plays in most of the levels from the Rock Star level. Its nice and upbeat, and really makes a good theme to play by

Guh, I feel like I couldve picked better songs....

Alright, I'll bite. After all, being the only guy within a 100 mile radius here to like video game music, this is a godsend for me.

Top five favorite tracks, you say?

1. Black Dream - Chrono Trigger

2. Dancing Mad - Final Fantasy VI

3. Green Hill Zone - Sonic the Hedgehog

4. Forest Area - Kid Chameleon

5. Stickerbrush Symphony - Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Cuts that didn't make the list: Minecraft Soundtrack by C418, Terraria Soundtrack, Knytt Stories soundtrack and every other thing Nifflas makes, and a LOT of others.

Knytt Stories *___* I love that game, and the music of course. The sound design is just great, with music appearing in every 3 or 4 screens and the environmental sounds contributing to the ensemble.

My favorite composers... well... I don't really have favorites but I do enjoy some Yasunori Mitsuda, Akira Yamaoka, Hans Zimmer, Solar Fields (Mirror's Edge OST, for starters), and other indie developers/composers like Nifflas, the maker of Yume Nikki, and the list would go on forever.

Oh, The-Great-One, this is an awesome idea for a club.

Anyways, my five favorite video game songs in no particular order.

1.Hopelessness - Golden Sun
First time I heard this, I had goosebumps on my skin. It really set the mood and atmosphere, and to be honest, all of the OST of Golden Sun is god damn freaking amazing.

2.Snowman - Earthbound
Gives me such a soothing feeling. There's something nostalgic about it, something that I just can't describe.

3.Jungle Groove - Donkey Kong Country
Tis a funky grove, aight?

4.Land of Summons - Final Fantasy IV
By this moment you may have guessed that I'm kind of a sucker for soundtracks from RPGs, but I couldn't leave this one out. It's mysteriously sad. And nostalgic, to me at least.

5.Guardhouse Theme - Resident Evil 1
This one always made me creeped the fuck out. Then again, I was 9, back when I heard it the first time. Looking at it now - a piece, which truly contributed to the game's atmosphere.

Mind, that those are my five favorites and that I could go on and on, and even if there are 4 Nintendo titles in the list, it doesn't mean I'm a Nintendo die-hard fan.

But yeah. About the composers. Motoi Sakuraba, Koji Kondo and David Wise

The Pit 2 SNES

The Pit 2 GENESIS

I've never played the game, but I like the SNES version better. I like how it's less polished and not quite as straight forward in the beat; gives it a more classic sound.

I like the idea of this club, but I don't really have a Top 5 list of songs. I guess I'll just put some really memorable ones.

Streets of Rage - Boss theme, Attack the Barbarian

Vectorman - Level 2, Train

Sonic 3D Blast - Diamond Dust Zone Act 1

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Sky Sanctuary Zone

Final Fantasy 8 - World Map

Super Smash Bros. Melee - Final Destination 2 / Multi-Man Melee 2

My favorite composers are Yuzo Koshiro, Jun Senoue, and Nobuo Uematsu.

What about the arcade? Personally, I like that one the most.

This song brings back memories. Mostly of hopping off the side of the track to attempt the shortcut, of course. Such a great song.

I think it's Samus Intro Fanfare.

The Revenge of Shinobi on Mega Drive has one of the best soundtracks ever IMO. It was done by the same guy that did Streets of Rage. Like a Wind is particulary epic.

LINK

Also, the soundtrack for Tekken Tag 2 is very good, quite a few remixes from the old games.

Yeah, Yuzo Koshiro really is a great composer. Personally, I've always loved Sunrise Blvd. and Over the Bay. But like you said, the entire soundtrack is amazing.

Never really played much into the game, but I own it on one of my Sega Smash Pack CD's, definitely wanna find time sometime and play this game.

Play it, but not on the Sega Smash Pack version, as I hear the music for all the games on there were butchered. So I personally reccomend you get it on the Genesis or Sonic Mega Collection. Anyway, Ristar is such an underrated gem, and it's one of the best games I've ever played in my life. Everything about it is just perfect, especially the entire soundtrack. Some songs I remember off of the top of my head are Break Silence, Lock Up!!, and Crazy Kings.

I'm more into chiptune than actual VG music. Some of my favorite artists are minusbaby, RushJet1, Starscream, Sievert and IAYD.

Well I figured out what was wrong. My computer was old and shitty. It is currently out of commission and so I am accessing the Internet through a newer and stronger computer. So huzzah! I can finally access this thread!

I really hope the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl soundtrack comes in the mail this week. It was ordered 2 weeks ago. I guess this is understandable because it is coming from Japan. I guess I'll share some of my favorite Pokemon songs.

Red and Blue - Final Battle Theme
Gold and Silver - Final Battle
Ruby and Sapphire - Legendary Golem Battle
Ruby and Sapphire - Sealed Chamber
Ruby and Sapphire - Underwater Dive
Ruby and Sapphire - Meteor Falls
FireRed and LeafGreen - Deoxys Battle
FireRed and LeafGreen - Sevii Islands
Diamond and Pearl - Champion Cynthia
Diamond and Pearl - Arceus Battle
Diamond and Pearl - Battle! Vs Uxie, Mesprit & Azelf!
Diamond and Pearl - Lake Theme
Platinum - Giratina Battle
HeartGold and SoulSilver - Vs. Champion Lance/ Pkmn Trainer Red
Black and White - N's Farewell

Hello one and all! No I'm not dead, and this club will not die either as long as I have a say in it. I love all the suggestions here. However I must say I am open for more discussion in this club. I still have a profile set up to store any information pertaining this club. I'm not exactly sure what to put in it though.
