Top Ten VG Songs Countdown on the next GAR!

[Eric Dude]

Alright, here's my idea for my next radio show: A Top Ten Countdown of the Best Video Game Songs of All Time. I'll determine this by polling data from various message boards, and tallying the votes. Then, on Friday's show, I'll do the countdown, playing what I consider to be the best version of each song, be it OSV, Arrangement, Remix, or Rock Band Cover. Here's where you, the forum-goer, come in:

I need everybody to reply to this thread with a top ten list of their all-time favorite video game songs. Don't worry about putting them in any particular order, as that's not going to change the scoring. Just think of your ten most favorite songs, and if you can't remember the name of a particular song, just say where it's from in the game, and I'll try to figure out which song you mean. Even if you don't plan on listening to the show next Friday, please do submit a top 10 list, because the more data I get, the more legitimate this will be. Also, make sure you limit it to ten games- no more, no less. Uniformity will make it much easier for me to sift through the results. One more thing: Remember, this isn't 'Top 10 Video Games based on Music', it's 'Top 10 Individual Songs from Video Games'. Alright guys, go to it!

Could you tell me which specific songs from these games are your favorites? Since I intend to play the songs on my show, only knowing the game doesn't help me much.

Heh, those are the only songs I've made so far. I'm out of inspiration at the moment.

Well, take your time. I'm not in too big a hurry. :)

Also, it's not necessary to only nominate songs that you have copies of, obviously.

What about the Minibosses cover of the music from Contra? Its excellent!

[Eric Dude]

No, it's not necessary to provide mp3s- thanks though! Actually, it's not even necessary to specify which version of the song. I'd rather people just tell me the name of the song, and what game it's from. Mainly because, if I included different versions, the results would be far too spread out.

[SkiDragon]

I had a hard time narrowing a list down to 43 songs. I dont know if I can go any further, so I will pick some of the lesser known ones.

Then I narrowed it down to 20. Then 12.

secret of mana-mana fortress
final fantasy tactics-Run Past Through the Plain
final fantasy IV-battle
final fantasy IV-overworld
axelay-level 1
phalanx-level 1
super r type-level 1
life force-level 3
mega man 3-snake man stage
command & conquer-just do it up
shining force-"battle 3" (http://perso.club-internet.fr/beaugran/cd/sf1_ost/08%20-%20Battle3.mp3)
shining force 2-"battle 3" (http://shining-music.net/sf2_ost/11%20-%20Battle3.mp3)

Its twelve, sorry.

[Eric Dude]

What about the Minibosses cover of the music from Contra? Its excellent!

That encompasses many songs from Contra. Which ones are your favorite? That's what I'm looking for- not which cover or remix or arrangement is the best. Which original song from a game is the best?

SkiDragon- It's cool if you could only get it down to 12; I understand. I'll probably just randomly slice two off. Thanks for voting, dude!

[Eric Dude]

I'll probably be counting the votes tonight, so get yours in today if you want to be included. Thanks to everybody who participated! Be sure to tune in this Friday and listen to the countdown, among other things.
