'Imperial March' from Star Wars: Battlefront

I would sometimes get stuck on the menu screen listening to the song the whole way through.

Oh, my other two favourites:

 

[VanillaBean]

Yeah the cake is definitly going to Oblvion on this one, its just so hard to start the game with that epic music playing.

 

[Thedutchjelle]

Self-explanatory. Mainly talking about main menus, but sub-menus/pause menus can work as well. Title and demo music is also acceptable.

For me it's the obvious:


Civilization 4 menu song.

Yeah, this. No other menu soundtrack was good enough to have the same effect on me.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Aside from what has already been mentioned, this:

 

[Jezzascmezza]

The original Just Cause.
Most of the game is pretty mediocre by today's standards, but the menu theme still brings back some damn fine memories.

 

[lokun489]

Twewy, I stood for ten minutes listening it to it when I first got it.

 

[Zhukov]

The video is a fanmade mix of Dreamfall and the original Longest Journey, though. I can't for the life of me find an actual video of it on YouTube. >>

The image at 2:24 with April and Crow got a huge, "Awww" out of me.

I think I'll have to play this game after all.

 

[MadeinHell]

Self-explanatory. Mainly talking about main menus, but sub-menus/pause menus can work as well. Title and demo music is also acceptable.

For me it's the obvious:


Civilization 4 menu song.

God damn topic starting ninjas.

PS. Wait I have one!


PS2. Damn I got ninja'd even on this one... Grrr...

 

[Riddle78]

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3


[HEADING=1]I do believe my work is done here.[/HEADING]

[HEADING=1]For Mother Russia![/HEADING]

What happened to Red Alert 2,hmm? THAT is awesome.
But I digress.
Metroid Prime 3:Corruption. Music so awesome,it deserves an opera performance.

Freakin' Castle Crashers.

Whenever I hover over the CC icon for more than two seconds on my PS3, this song starts to play on a loop.
There's something so friggin' awesome about this gamer that makes me want to play it every time I hear this music

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Oh, I forgot to say:

(almost) anything on the C64.

 

[captaincabbage]

Oh shit I almost forgot, the first time I put The Orange Box into my PS3, I almost forgot about the game because I was entranced by the epic menu music.
Admittedly, all of the music in this game just rocks tits. It's so pumping and cynical sounding, it really pushes you forward.
Am I the only one who thought that the loading sections in Half-Life 2 were terribly placed tho?
It seemed like EVERY time you went into an awesome string of firefights with some music just starting up, you finished the fight and were moving to the next section, only to be caught up by a loading screen and have the music cut off.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

memories...

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Civilization 4 menu song.

I'm sure you will have seen this but...

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

The oblivion theme

Damn it you got to Oblivion before me. I was all psyched to post it

 

[Squilookle]

Well Evil Genius, Just Cause and Red Alert 3 have already been done, so I may as well put up the most badass pause music of them all:

 

[ChocoFace]

Self-explanatory. Mainly talking about main menus, but sub-menus/pause menus can work as well. Title and demo music is also acceptable.

A pretty great game, but this menu music is amazing.

Gonna have to agree with you there. That song fit the game like a glove.
