Top 10 Video Game Songs - A Personal Favorites List Part 2/2

[logout15]

WTF why and how in any way is mario ever better than legend of !!! zelda has fucking Koji Kondo with them but the rest odf songs are pretty good in order :) (except mario and world of warcraft :(

[ZhangtheGreat]

@logout15, you do know that Mario songs are also composed by Koji Kondo, right? Besides, this is a favorites list, not a "best of" list. Expecting it to look like one you'd put together is ridiculous.

[logout15]

@ZhangtheGreat well im sorry i guess your right i admit defeat

[kurtis6L]

Where the fuck is Guile Theme?!?!?!

[ZhangtheGreat]

@kurtis6L, either you're trying to be a troll or you ignored the words "personal favorites" in the title =)

[joshuaraygaribay]

Zelda has all those beat. hands down

[hinaruto14]

Yes im so glad you put WoW. that game has the best Soundtrack ever

[Gaming101fun]

retard

[ZhangtheGreat]

@Gaming101fun, troll =)

[nick7305]

WOOOOOO #5 ftw but they failed ages of empire III unfourtunatly =(

[88megagirl]

WHERE IS GUSTY GARDEN?????!!!!!!!!!!

[ZhangtheGreat]

@88megagirl, remember kids: typing in caps does not make your penis bigger =)

[222447ce]

after listening time and time again to video game songs and to other people lists i have come to a conclusion... nintendo makes the best songs, they create a perfect atmosphere for the game and are just as good to just hear them

[DBZisthebestanimever]

have you played shadow of the colossus?

[ZhangtheGreat]

@DBZisthebestanimever, yes. Do I like the music? Sure. Do I like them enough for them to make my top ten favorites? No.

[rathalosrevenge70]

lol age of empires



[Glus95]

I like your list man! There would be some stuff that I would change but hey if I want to complain then I suppose i should make my own list haha.

Props anyway to making this list and its a nice insight to see what favourites other people have from certain franchises. Although, some just can't be beaten no matter what *cough Stickerbrush Symphony.

Thanks again! ^-^

[remembermorley]

i expected the portal theme thumbs up if you agree

[ZhangtheGreat]

@remembermorley, personal favorites list bro. It might be on your top ten favorites, but it's not on mine.

[remembermorley]

i guess but its still a goood song

[bowzoid]

have you listened to any of the SMG2 songs? you might replace good Egg Galaxy if you do. Not that I'm saying it's bad or anything.

[THERANDOMGAMEOVER]

stickerbush symphony is the best it deserves first place..

[Bigrog1988]

You sir have never played Final fantasy X, or kingdom hearts!

[ZhangtheGreat]

@Bigrog1988, yes I have. Yes I like their music. No I don't like them as much as these ten tunes. Thank you for asking.

[SirYannick1896]

are u a WOW suchti?

[LunqvistNabokov]

Can't believe Mute City from F-Zero X is not on here -_-

[ZhangtheGreat]

@LunqvistNabokov, personal favorites list man. You can't expect everyone else to like the exact same songs you do =)

[LunqvistNabokov]

@ZhangtheGreat well, that's true :P

[Felgrand101]

about number 1, I can agree with you a little, when I first heard it, I was like meh..

But hearing it several times, it's indeed a good song, although I prefer the wotlk version.

[niekpiek]

Like ur taste!! It's very diverse.

[NeutralGuy100]

Is World of Warcraft your favorite game of all time?

[ZhangtheGreat]

@NeutralGuy100, no, Chinese chess is =)

[NeutralGuy100]

@ZhangtheGreat Is WoW your favorite video game then?

[ZhangtheGreat]

@NeutralGuy100, I actually don't have one. I play whatever I'm in the mood for at any given moment.

[mikae8333]

hey i like how you put in donky kongs stickerbrush symphony =D that song is really calming isnt it =P i woulda liked to see it number 1 ima see what you have there tho! =P its gotta be like mario or link i guess! good work man =D

[recklesslack]

damn Dkc2 was a real fine piece of work. Good choice.

[alexkatex]

no era necesario k durara tanto tu pinche video

[ZhangtheGreat]

@alexkatex, entonces, no era necesario que comentes.

[yeaarboi]

greeaaat choice there! esp no.1! i wasn't expecting that! :D

[coolfool64]

really nice list, extra kudos on the aoe

[rokh331]

I bet all the final fantasy nerds are like. DUDE WATS NUMBER 1

[Darkside5115]

nice job with zelda's lullaby, i forgot all about that song

[30051994Robin]

yeah zelda´lullaby is the best song

[reddragon01369]

when ur a ff fanboy like i am i wanna argue with alot on this list .... but even i have to say that the is great music on this list ... I love #5 & #3 ... good show

[supermarioshine]

i like the way brawl did bramble blast well thats what the call the song on brawl but awsome.

[NOTEVENREMOTLYDORKY]

ugh number 5 went on for sooo long >:{

[ZhangtheGreat]

Meh, my first "video." It's going to be as far from perfect as you can expect =P

[MetallicARbest1]

This list isn't worth shit since the guy left out Aquatic Ambience. The guy has NO taste, except for the Sonic one.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Aquatic Ambience is my second favorite DKC series song (left out due to the "one per franchise" rule I set in advance).

I find it funny that you think someone has NO taste just because their favorites are different from yours. Perhaps it is YOU, my friend, who has no taste because YOU don't like the same songs I do =)

[MetallicARbest1]

@ZhangtheGreat

Calm down, I just get carried away with my music and can sometimes be a real dick about it.. When it comes to music I'm a like Nazi. No offense meant.

[ZhangtheGreat]

If that's the case, then I think you know what you need to learn to do. I was pretty calm in my response; maybe you could be the same way when you comment next time.

[Greenboom98]

You picked the Best Donkey Kong song. It is an amazing song. If I had to pick one, that one will be.

[smpowis]

lol, I only agreed with #8 and #1 even being on the list. I quit WoW because I just had enough of it, but damn, Blizzard sure as hell floor me with their audio every damned time.

[pokedude44]

My #1mentions would be Base Wars, NBA NBC, NBA JAM(any of 'em) College Slam or NBA Hangtime. Why does no one care about sports games?! *sob* or mario that does not matter though

[ZhangtheGreat]

Heh, check out my other videos and you'll see just how much I love sports games =D

[apbrit2009]

why was the morrowind theme not on this list?

it's truly epic, and fits the game perfectly

[ZhangtheGreat]

Because it's a personal favorites list.

[540dannyd]

nice vid..my fav level on donkey kong country 2 brings back good memories back when i was like 5 years old

[bluewebheadwb]

no Metal Gear Solid or TMNT IV: Turtles in Time, eh to which his own

[KeyboardTrouble2]

To each, to each his own.

[kirby2619]

isnt the smg one partly used in mkwii

[captainsunder009]

People really forget the ryu theme now don't they. Also mgs should be in most peoples top ten no matter where in the top ten, unless you are not into that type of music at all in any shape or form.

[ZhangtheGreat]

I enjoy them both, but they're not amongst my favorite ten.

[captainsunder009]

I don't mind. I am not accusing you of anything, but that is just my 2 cents of my opinion. You picked some cool songs anyway so I am not really angry about your list anyway. I agree with your choices. Just that I would have put those other ones in my list.

[Trevguy00]

My number one would be Diablo- Tristram theme. good list though +1

[ididyomomma111]

you know, i wonder if im stupid or not, but, i dont see TOO much wrong with the sound quality.... i dunno'.

[freshwater7894]

my top ten: 10: super mario galaxy- gusty gardens 9: SSBM Fountain of dreams 8: MGS4 main theme 7: Gears of War theme 6: Ducktails- the moon 5: SMB theme 4: Legend of Zelda main theme 3: Sonic Boom 2: Moonwalker-Thriller (couldn't resist) 1: Halo 3- One Final Effort/ Main Halo Theme

[Hoppaman23]

I kept thinking to myself while watching/listening to this was..."geesh these songs are playing for WAY too long.

This could have easily been done in one 10 minute video.

Oh well

[ZhangtheGreat]

My bad. It's my first video (and it doesn't have video lol). I couldn't find a good spot to cut off the first tune you heard.

[FoxStrider7]

I love the age of empires music!

[TheLawn]

If the sound quality and choices weren't shit you would have a good thing going... but sadly you lack in both departments.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Boy, somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

I try to keep my music to the original versions when possible. Besides, this was my very first Windows Movie Maker production. Did you really expect Dolby Digital Surround Sound from that?

[Hyperabbe]

06:12 Very very nice. A new classic =)

[Yokito121]

Zelda's lullabye #3??? YOU JERK!!! #1 #1 #1!!!

[enterprise0709]

wait. WoW??? no 1. And pokemon in the list....

ok its oficial: your a retard.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Nah, I just have a different taste. Music is what it is: controversial.

[CasualVideoGamer]

I like how the dude actually limited himself to one song per franchise, it creates a challenge and forces people to think. Personally, I'd probably have seven or Megaman songs if I didn't limit myself.

Choices are very different for most people, but that's because the author actually has a mind of their own and not joining the crowd w/o thinking.

To quote Stuttering Craig, "chances are our list is going to be different from yours... so don't bitch when your favorite isn't on here."

[enterprise0709]

tell me about it. If i wasnt limited to 1 song per franchise it might be this:

10: Hell March (C&C red alert)

9 -1: all music from the legend of Zelda series

[7bitproductions]

I'm sorry but in my book Legend of Zelda's theme always wins out. Dr.Wily's castle theme from Megaman 2 is also sweet

[bj07bran7]

Good list. I'd probably move donkey kong 2 higher, as well as zelda. I dontr care for the dynasty warriors one though, I dont get why thats even on the list.

If your gonna have a mario one though, it should have been the battlerock galaxy theme. Im sure u know what im talkin about

And as for WoW, as a previous player id say the best song in that game was terrokar forest. Search Terrokar forest (walking) and u'll see my point

[ZhangtheGreat]

Dynasty Warriors? You mean Age of Empires?

Yeah I'm familiar with those jingles, but I like the ones I selected better.

[bj07bran7]

yea i meant age of empires. but you knew that

[Nirvana2349]

How the fuck is WoW a sim?? thats retarded! you should not be allowed to speak.

[talesfreak1432]

im sorry but this list is atrocious

[ZhangtheGreat]

Notice how it's titled a PERSONAL favorites list? Consider our tastes on gaming music different.

[sonicdjs]

Ooh, if only you could mark Author's comments down...That would be -20! People seem to like my comment.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Your arrogance is another story though. In fact, it's enough to land you a blocking =)

[sonicdjs]

RECOUNT! RECOUNT! WoW ISN'T CONSIDERED A VIDEO GAME! RECOUNT!!!!

[ZhangtheGreat]

Is it played on a screen using video technology? If so, then it's a video game.

[Nirvana2349]

Yes it is, its an MMORPG!

[CasualVideoGamer]

If it's something you interact with, it's contains something you need to have on screen, and you affect the outcome of the character you're controlling, it's a video game.

[lucario256]

na mate one of my fave game tunes is got to be one of the final fantasy songs those who fight futher or clash on the big bridge if u anit heard them u should

[macdaddymario]

to bad there wasnt the "Batlefield: 1942" main theme here... such an epic song... good vid(s) tho :D

[blackflame100]

i like AOE (1st game) too, i have the game, the CD-ROMS, it's a great game with great music.

[zodiac657]

y is the first 1 so long HOLY CRAP

[ZhangtheGreat]

It never repeats verses. I would've cut it off as soon as it started repeating, but it doesn't do that.

[TheDeejay01]

AoE II and UT'99 made up a great portion of my childhood. I think the music on AoE is highly underrated. Glad to see it on your list.

[Rosenkill]

I would pick any track from warcraft 2 over aoe :)

[MPaGnutar]

World of Warcraft <3 good list man

[KHfanguy]

I c.

U ever hear Dr Wilys Stage 1 from Megaman 2? (aka okkusenman)

one of my most favorite songs of all time

[ZhangtheGreat]

Heard it and love it, but not a top 10 for me.

[KHfanguy]

WoW is number 1???

well anyways, pretty good actually, cept for the fact that u didn't put zelda's main theme in this lol

[ZhangtheGreat]

Heh, I was trying to decide between the main theme or the lullaby, but when I found myself humming the lullaby while trying to sleep, that made the choice easy.

[Shogster90]

How about Final Fantasy? NOBUO UEMATSU! NUMBA 1!

[ZhangtheGreat]

Not a favorite of mine. Great music yes, but not a personal favorite.

[MuttleyMason]

did you play enought of age of empires?

[ZhangtheGreat]

I'll never play enough of AoE =)

[Hyperabbe]

Good list! I like the old warcraft 2 music and Banjo Kazooie music to Nintendo 64 :)

[gibsonstrat66]

good list

[berny88925]

that really sucked i really only like mortal combat harvest moon and dc2

[blazian88]

DKC2 stickerbrush symphony my all time fave!

[gibsonstrat66]

its one of mine 2

[bigbiker05]

If I had to do a top 10 with these rules I think it would go something like...

1. Sariah Song (lost woods zelda)

2. Starcraft terran theme

3. Tetris theme

4. World of Warcraft Tavern/Inn

5. Mario underwater

6. Portal Credits

7. Pokemon Saphron City

Yeah, thats all I got for now.

[Cranecakes]

Man is that the original WoW login screen music? Ive missed it haha

Good list

[Drsalvador18]

dindt knew you willk put age of empires in it Way to go dude! age of empires rock!

[spakey1983]

me and my cuz used to play in a team on donkey kong country 2 we were on it 4 months trying to all the krock coins.

[moonrider0]

ooppssss... i forgot to put:

*super ghouls and ghosts - sea of despair(second stage)

*capcom vs snk2 - london stage

and.. might have someone that now i couldnt remeber... but thats it for now....

[moonrider0]

for me .. here is my list: 10. sim city - title screen 9. rayman - band land stage 8. super puzzle fight - donovan stage 7. king of fighters96 - iori team stage 6. megaman 7 - freeze man stage 5. megaman 8 - sword man stage 4. sonic 2 - chemichal plant 3. castlevania - clocktower stage 2. sonic 2 - oil ocean zone 1. quackshot - transylania stage

[sephiros9999]

fuck man, where is castlevania, silent hill, street fighter, killer instict, final fantasy, zelda (not that one), chrono cross, etc. There are better songs, not this crappy list

[ZhangtheGreat]

*sigh* Once again, it's a FAVORITES list. Nowhere am I proclaiming these are "teh 10 bestest songz of all tiem hollaz!" These are the ones *I* like the most.

[thedoomturtle]

geez, shut up, Sephiros. i don't exactly agree with this list (Bramble Blast is awesome though lol) but it's HIS favorite music, not YOURS. If you're so angry, make your own top 10 list.

[wiiwhiz]

man I have a completely different musical taste! different music taste or not hough, how could you leave out BUBSY???!!!??? i mean, once you play the first game there's like a 90% chance you'll be humming it afterwards. oh, and thanks for putting sonic in!

[ZhangtheGreat]

I'm sorry, but I find EVERYTHING about Bubsy downright annoying, and I mean EVERYTHING. I hate that bobcat with a passion.

[wiiwhiz]

ok, you can argue about that, but you can't argue with megaman's music. seriously.

[ZhangtheGreat]

Yup, I like Mega Man's music too. I just don't like it enough to put any in my top 10 =)

[thekiller678]

now that i hear it again the DKC2 music is probably the best ever made.

[RaithRabbit]

I found myself trying to identify the song before it came up; I recognized most of these right away, albeit the names sometimes weren't there (DK2's Stickerbrush Symphony). Also, AoE2:AoC Brought up some fond caveman memories; many a game started to this song. :D

I agree FF's generally recieve too much attention, but I'm fond of the Chocobo song.

Games listed I have not beaten:

-Pokemon R/S/E

-Harvest Moon 64 (SNES however...)

-World of Warcraft (Just not a fan and unbeatable)

[micshaz]

woah supprising end, :P nonetheless i love top 10's. i could never compile a top 10 but while watching diffrent people's top 10's i always stumble upon a theme i had long lost to time.

[dragondxs]

Good list, while I, like everyone else, will disagree with some stuff on it it was enjoyable to watch and nice to listen too. Nice job!

[ozmega]

its your list but ur musical taste sucks so bad :D

megaman 2 has the best music in videogames ffs

and final fantasy sefiroth song truly kick ass

[ZhangtheGreat]

There's no such thing as the "best" music. As a gamer, you've got to learn to appreciate ALL video game music =P

[FrenzyPotatoe]

i agree =D

[Micaiah]

Excellent list! people stop complaning this is his personal list but in general it's lovely music. Let's all enjoy it and stop ignoring the big a** description!!

[Laserkev]

no metal gear solid 2 main theme?

[ZhangtheGreat]

Not one of my favorites, man.

[warlocklink]

go gerudo valley theme!

[runningrabbitsdotnet]

Good choices man!!

all i gotta do is get music in my game! :lol:

[mmonrealc]

monkey island!!!!! >:OOO

[qkorn]

Lots of variety! This just inspired me to make something like this of my own. Nice job - especially love Brambles and the Galaxy song.

[Twidizle]

dude there were better songs in AoC... i have the cd lol..

[ZhangtheGreat]

It's a favorites list man. What you feel is better may not conform with what I chose.

[peterskywalker]

YAY stickerbush symphany . I love that song!!

Oh and Mario galaxy song egg planet song. AWESOME

[freshwater7894]

err... world of warcraft i think shouldnt count cus it's a com. gam, not a video game

[ZhangtheGreat]

You're confusing "video" game with "console" game. A video game is any game that you play on a video screen.

[thehitcher03]

I love the bramble blast song from dkc2. That game had an excellent soundtrack.

[PennyStalinski]

so your a WOW player?

[KoreanSeaBass]

you damn newb your list is terribad horrible and made my ears bleed

[ZhangtheGreat]

Once again, I must remind someone that it's a FAVORITES list. Nowhere am I claiming these are the greatest gaming songs in history.

[thehitcher03]

newb? I think you mean noob. And he's not a noob anyway.

[Near54321]

this is your list I understand that but u put some shitty fucking music in this peice in my opinion... get that shitty age of empires outa there and get some fucking STARCRAFT IN THERE terran theme

[KoreanSeaBass]

fuck yea man STARCRAFT FTW TERRAN OWNS ALL THEY IMBA /AS FUCK

[ZhangtheGreat]

FAVORITES list. FAVORITES. They're MY favorites. Don't like them? No one's stopping you from making your own favorites.

My god, I'm getting the feeling that some people just like complaining for the sake of complaining.

[Carlostaco]

you put the worsts pieces of sonic and age2 ¬¬

the rest is kinda nice

[ZhangtheGreat]

This is a favorites list, so don't complain =P

[toast69777]

i like all the song u put on between part 1 and 2

[xInTruder7]

lol, youve played sum "out there" games

[ZhangtheGreat]

True gamers don't just stick with the "common" games =)

[superigt7]

Stickerbrush brings me so much nostalgia...

[adampeterishere]

Zelda's lulaby is so powerful, but wtf is up with the hi tech background for a zelda game?

[link13j]

i love the mario galaxy song

[Ivaria]

I like Megaman and Worms ^^ Good list!

[slroyalty]

Is it just me or does the WoW song sound just like one of the LoTR songs from the Two Tower?

[snoogans20]

kinda sad that you think the WoW theme is better then stuff like mgs

have you listened to any final fantasy music either? ffx has some really good music

[ZhangtheGreat]

No, I don't think it's "better" than some other tunes. I just like it more than any other video game song. Yes I've heard FF songs and I like them too, but not enough to put any in the top 10.

[hiervince]

how about wii sports?

[ZhangtheGreat]

No, not top 10 favorites.

[Jmac0wns]

On SMG I like Gusty Gardens over Good Egg Galaxy... Regardless both are epic

[blarg621]

I cant beleive you missed out Halo and Metal Gear Solid.

[ZhangtheGreat]

It's a personal favorites list, not a "best of" list. I like the Halo and MGS themes, but not as much as these.

[ludachris5534]

i love that DK song.

[Mcbibbles]

i think the saria song is better then the lullaby, but still great video.

[Top100GameMusic]

Aman for age of empires, I put it too :)

[kr1st1an1988]

lol..check this out:1)god of war,2)shadow of colloseus 3)dark cloud

[munkys01234]

WOW FTW!!!!

[goonkid93]

that dk was soo peaceful

[ibo1391]

the new versionof this DK music in Super Smash Bros Brawl is AWESOME ! ! !

[terrel045]

WoW music kicks arse

[ScreechRAPS]

gotta love diddy kongs quest. Probably the best of all the DK games that came out, At least in my opinion.

It was hard and fun and it had a great soundtrack. Really for the people of that generation

[andrevus2]

yea my favi is the Brambe song so sad.

[Xobralvl70]

zelda songs should be number one if I made my favorites :)

[Chrismaistress]

Man nr 4 brings back sooooo many memories!
