Face my fears would have been a lot better without Skrillex, completely ruins it.
I think Don't Think Twice is a lot better

 

[Alexios]

Idk, all of Panzer Dragoon series soundtracks I guess, games used to have their own music as default, companies had their own orchestras and bands and musicians making stuff for them rather than licence it same as any other game dev field so there are so many how do you pick just one?

The Only Thing They Fear Is You - Doom Eternal

 

[Corian33]

Forever my favorite video game jam. All the music from the old C&C games were epic. Still have never heard anything quite like them. Plus hearing the notes just pushes nostalgia to the max.

 

[Ferdimage]

"The wind is pushing me"

 

[Danjin44]

 

[AJUMP23]

Shedding tears for this one in FF9

 

[NeverYouMind]

I am not even a Sonic fan but this one rocks.

 

[Scotty W]

Rusty Cage for sure. Amazing they got Soundgarden to make a song for their game.

 

[Pejo]

This song is from a lesser known mobile game I play, Path to Nowhere, but it's a banger.

 

[Woggleman]

 

[Trunx81]

First song to make me cry after beating a video game.

 

[Radioskugga]

I really love the intro to Streets of Rage 2.


And the intro to Wild Arms.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

This one makes me feel feelings, and I haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles to completion. Yasunori Mitsuda is one of the GOATs.

 

[SenkiDala]

Dudes : no lyrics = not a song...

[Eimran]

Surprised I'm first on this one:

Came here for this

 

[DaciaJC]

I was going to post something from The Witcher 3, but nah, this is definitely the best.

 

[Eimran]

Since someone already mentioned MGS3: Snake Eater



I got this game when I was 13. 20 years later I still don't know what he's singing. But I love it

 

[Kssio_Aug]

This one for sure:

 

[TGO]

Straight up sounds like a Shakira song.

 

[NeonGhost]

Let's ramp it up in here!

[Jinzo Prime]

UGLY CRY THE SONG:



He wrote this while battling cancer, Soken is insane!

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Don't think I've seen any of these mentioned yet, at least in this thread. Yet another night spent staying up too late finding some of the best video game music...a night well spent.


Especially the route E version, though I won't link it for obvious reasons.


This song basically makes the game.



Can't just pick one Ace Combat song.



Kind of cheating since this is two songs in one, but Autumn Hills is unreal.



When this song plays during the final boss.



When THIS song plays during the final boss.



Hard to pick just one song from this game.



So I picked a couple. Throw a dart and you'll hit an all-timer.



Always gets stuck in my head.



One of the most immersive game songs ever. Makes you feel powerful yet frail.

 

[BouncyFrag]

This is catchy AF:


For realz:

 

[SleepySlippy]

 

[Gp1]

Everybody goes with the classic metal gear tracks. But my favorite it's this one

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Didn't realize there was a media limit per post. Part 2:


So much personality, so upbeat.



Maybe the best battle theme music.



Though I think this one gives it a run for its money.



The quintessential RPG "town" theme.



Beautiful masterpiece.



Best version of a song I never get tired of hearing.



SHAKE YA BODY



Somehow the game took complete ownership of this song.



Too catchy for its own good.



Definitive song of the game.

 

[SleepySlippy]

Edit: LavitzSlambert didn't see you post it lol

SEGA were so good at this sort of stuff

Came here to post the burning rangers theme, glad to see someone else is a man of culture!

Yeah, I think some people missed the point if this Thread and its not about your fab game music, more about your fab game music that features lyrics/vocals written and made for the game

 

[donkey_oaty]

I can't believe no one has posted this

 

[Damien Crowley]

There are a lot of classics here and for a second I thought, Aerith's Theme would be my pick... but in the end, there is only one real and true answer to every thread about game music:

 

[Mephisto40]

 

[rsouzadk]

 

[Laptop1991]

For me this one from over 20 years ago

 

[Ogbert]

Ori and the Will of the Wisps has the greatest original soundtrack of any modern game.

[SHA]

Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D.

 

[gtabro]

 

[Dontkidyourselfjimmy]

Someone posted it here a little while back and it's such a beautiful score

 

[consoul]

Mansion Basement. Nothing can top this.

 

[Tiamat2san]

It still give me shivers , what a beautiful song!

 

[calistan]

The ending theme from Life Is Strange 3. Weirdly it's by a duo I've liked for years and have seen live (Angus and Julia Stone), but I had no idea they were making songs for this soundtrack until I saw their names in the credits. They released a whole album of songs from the game.
