Really, really hard. The aggregate list is
here, and I have the spreadsheet somewhere.
I
have created a Top 100 VGM list in the past (way back in 2009/2010) and it looks much different from that. If I were to do one
now (or even a top 50), it would look markedly different from that 2011 list I posted. The top 5 I pointed out earlier, though, may stay static outside of that Legend of Heroes BGM.
But, yeah, I had to listen to a few soundtracks, and admittedly, given the deadline, I didn't have a chance to give everything its fair shake. To be honest, if I decided to stick to one BGM per series or game, the list would be
so much better. I really should have done that, but clearly I couldn't resist putting multiple Ys, Mystic Quest, and Akumajo Dracula themes on there. I also admit that I just stuck a few BGMs on there just for the sake of putting them there in case people were all like, "How could you omit something from Game X or Game Y?!" I really have to stop doing stuff like that.
