Greatest Song in a Game

[Internet Kraken]

Bull shit. How did you not find any related results? That isn't even the only thread about video game music. There are several others.

They only mentioned theme songs.

Well whatever. At least you tried.

Anways, Earthbound has some really good music. There are two songs in particular that I like.


Interestingly, you hear the second song right after hearing the first one.

 

[gunningyoudown]

still alive
simple and clean (end version)

 

[vultureX21]

Battle music from Shining Force II, plays a ton and I still like it.

 

[Sable Gear]

I wanna say this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmPOeCgh8z4&feature=related

or possibly this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd3y6Pci3g8&feature=related

or any of the Dark Aether background music from Metroid Prime 2

 

[Internet Kraken]

Oh yeah. Fallout 2 has some good ambient music. Modoc is a good example of this.

 

[Gerazzi]

Still Alive.
/thread

this.

but I'm rather torn up between that and

The Grasstown Theme from Cave Story.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos had good ones despite it being a terrible terrible game that should rot in the depths of hell.

For taking away my childhood.

EDIT: Spyro the Dragon 1, 2, and 3 all had good music also:

Click here for the awesomeness that was Twilight Harbor [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68szv2NXSmQ&feature=PlayList&p=0D68089F61FAB5C5&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=36]
It's like if Spyro met Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 

[War Penguin]

The Super Mario Bros. theme.
I'm old fashioned.

 

[EnglishMuffin]

Something from VTM-Bloodlines. Just so many are great. Just the menu music might be my favorite.

 

[6PrinceofDarkness6]

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh

want...to say, portal...

 

[MattyJ]

Living in the city - Fear. When it was in The Warriors; what a great fight song that was.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Scars of Time (the theme to Chrono Cross) is hands down the finest piece of music I've heard in a game.

 

[waggmd]

The song that plays during the dual Scarab battle in Halo 3 is amazing. Pikmin had a great overall soundtrack too.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Kimi no Kioku (Memories of You) from Persona 3 is my all time favorite game song. If you know the context in which it's played then you know it's epic. A fantastic song just to chill to that has great impact if you know the lyrics. Fantastic.

Hell, I should probably post the lyrics.

Scroll down for English.

I suppose this is worth mentioning as well.

[TheFacelessOne]

I have to say all of the soundtracks from all the Halo games.

'Cept you Halo Wars. Go sit in your corner!

Oh, and both of the Still Alives. Those are awesome.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

I'm surprised no one else has said it but the end tune to Mass Effect is phenomenal. Still alive is awesome, but this tops it IMO.

The Green Hill Zone in the original Sonic music is also memorably catchy.

 

[Egad101]

I really like the Chocobo theme from final fantasy. It makes my inner child giggle. Plus this version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwC36OO3IXQ is amazing.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I'm not going to say they're the best ever, but these songs are definitely some of my favorites:

Spoiler: Metal Gear Solid 4, Old Snake. Love the guitar parts on this, really sad and simple, mellows me out in a way.

Spoiler: Tekken 3, Hidden Characters Theme

If you can't already tell, I love the music in Tekken, though it's for a good reason.

 

[AroLombardi]

I detest Still Alive.
Anyway, I adore most songs from Zelda MM.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

There are too many classic bittune songs to chose from, so I'm going to pick something nice and modern. For me, it's a tie, between this:


and this:

 

[Mckin3228]

I really liked specter induction and citadel from mass effect. The game has a deceptivly good sound track. I also really like the soundtrack to Bionic Commando rearmed.
