    Geese Themes - YouTube

    That's all I really need to link to. I could list more but why even bother to try and top over an hour of greatness.

    Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger/Cross are the objectively best game soundtracks of all time. Honourable mentions to (in no particular order) the entire Zelda series, FFIX, several entries in the Dragon Quest series, several entries in the Suikoden series, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Super Metroid, a bunch of Motoi Sakuraba soundtracks, and a bunch of other Yasunori Mitsuda soundtracks. There's probably more I'm not thinking of but that's a fair kickoff selection.

    Chrono Cross has the best videogame soundtrack in my estimation.

    This song, playing during the Miguel fight, is sublime:

    I have an obsession with the song in Xenosaga 2's title screen. I'll have to give this some more thought when I have more time and post some good musics for everyone to listen to.

    Oh trout, I forgot to mention The Binding of Isaac. The entire soundtrack is so smurfing killer, I love it.

    I actually kind of like Mass Effect's style, too, and wish there were more like it. I keep thinking of stuff like Raptor that I used to play in the 90's... they used a kind of similar style that I feel isn't used enough these days.

    Tetris theme is rockin', especially when done by Reel Big Fish.

    Journey's music is beautiful.

    Add in Shadow of the Colossus and you'd have a definite top 3 going. I'd provide videos, but I'm posting in between rounds in Counter-Strike.

    How dare y'all chompskyhonks ignore Dune 2000.

    for when you need to crush Atreides and be magnificent while doing it. Beautiful and dangerous, just like me.


    What's that? Y I no weeaboo?

    Have some god-damn Touhou games, I like my bullets in huge scary walls thank you! I love me some impossibly hard Touhou games and I love me some sweet sweet Cirno bulletspam.


    But wait, Botchy, you totally left out that one theme that gets you pumped, that one theme that makes you raise your head and know your DUTY to the Emperor!

    The Codex Astartes calls this maneuver Spess Mahrenz Thehm.



    Oh, oh wait... what's that there... Yes, it's the theme that has represented the Elder Scrolls franchise since Morrowind, the theme so beautiful that it cannot be replaced, only remixed, rewritten, replayed. I would put the hour long youtube loops of this on and LEAVE them on!

    Oh, and allow me to punch myself in the face for forgetting about Command & Conquer soundtracks in my last post.

    May i present Metal Gear, providing amazing music for multiple generations.

    Theme of Tara This is where it all began and it began awesomely.

    Wavelet Metal Gear 2 was in all ways superior to the first and that includes music. Its soundtrack is surprisingly good and I'd say this is the best song on it.

    Metal Gear Solid "Enclosure" - YouTube - This song is probably why so many people found her death so sad.

    Can't Say Goodbye To Yesterday My all-time favorite credits music in the MG series. It's so uniquely MGS2 that, while it's a wonderful song in its own right, it becomes something more to me simply because of that fact. In no other MGS game could this song work but it is absolutely perfect for Sons of Liberty.

    Arsenal Gear While the Normal theme is even more creepy than Rex's Lair, it's not nearly as imposing. What I love from this is the "Alert Mode" music.

    Takin' on the Shagohod Easily Top 3 boss themes in the series.

    Soldier vs. Ghost(Cyborg Ninja Theme) I recently tried replaying Twin Snakes and man it sucks. Nevertheless, this is another Top 3 contender for best boss theme in the series.

    Gene's Boss Theme from Portable Ops I'm gonna be bold and declare this my all time favorite boss theme in the series. Call the game "POOPS" or whatever but I love the soundtrack and I even enjoy some parts of the game.
