What are your three favorite videogame songs?

[Spartan448]

Just what the title says: What are your three favorite pieces of videogame soundtrack?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some rules:

They can be however short, or however long.
If the title contains any vulgar language, replace one or two letters with * marks
You can't say "The song that played X minutes through Y level of Z game". You have to know the title of the song or soundtrack piece. The only exceptions are with soundtrack that only plays if you do specific things, like the Siege of Madrigal easter egg soundtrack in the Halo games, or with soundtrack where no name is given, like the Turret Opera at the end of Portal 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So anyway, my top three are as follows:

1: Still Alive (Portal 1 credits)
2: Portal 2 Turret Opera (Ending cinematic, before credis roll)
3: Want You Gone (Portal 2 credits)

 

[artanis_neravar]

1. Victory fanfare
2. Still Alive/Want You Gone
3. The Beer song fro Bard's Tale

 

[Daystar Clarion]

For the epicness!



For nostalgia! (Granted, it is a remix, but my point still stands)


For pony Amaterasu!

 

[Who Dares Wins]

1. Fallout 2 - Beyond the Canyon

2. Bully - Welcome to Bullworth

3. Chrono Trigger - Lucca's Theme

---------------------------------------
4. Bully - Slingshot
5. Chrono Trigger - Present Overworld
6. Legend of Zelda - Overworld Theme
7. Portal - Still Alive
8. Chrono Trigger - Memories of Green
9. FFIV - Victory Fanfare

Because fuck limitations.

There's only one and it counts as my Nos. 2 and 3.

 

[OutcastBOS]

All awsome, and in order of preference!

Difficult question is difficult.

Not in a specific order:

Chrono Cross - Dreams of the Shore Near Another World
<youtube=MV-FvxoR1PQ>



Final Fantasy - Prelude (which game I think has the best version is an entirely different monster)
<youtube=t8Ki9RyzX0c>



Final Fantasy VI - Shadow's Theme
<youtube=sSIkHrjPWTc>



I repeat: Difficult question is difficult.

 

[JBGigas]

1. Metroid Prime - Phendrana Drift
2. Pokemon G/S/C - Champion Theme
3. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Tower Town Theme

 

[zombiestrangler]

1. Beyond the Sea from Bioshock 1
2. Ain't No Rest for the Wicked from Borderlands
3. Halo theme from (preferably) Halo 2

 

[rayskyrift]

1. Suikoden 2 main theme.
2. The Man with the Machine Gun: Final Fantasy VIII
3. Gothic Neclord: Suikoden 2

Close runner up being "Dracula's Castle" from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

So basically all my favorite video game music comes from the PS1.

 

[About 115 Ninjas]

1) Still Alive (Portal [obvious choice is obvious])
2) There's a Zombie on Your Lawn (Plants vs. Zombies)
3) The Garoh Theme (Golden Sun: The Lost Age)

The Song of Storms was going to be somewhere in there till I changed my mind.

 

[wooty]

This ones a orchestrated version, but the point is still there
One of the many great Valkyria battle themes
Fighting a huge pitched battle to this is immense, fully drives home the feeling

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Any three Celldweller songs from Dead Rising 2, if I had to choose:

The Best It's Gonna Get when fighting Jed the Mechanic in Case Zero
Switchback when fighting the Magicians
Kill The Sound during the credits...

If I had to choose from DIFFERENT games:

The Best It's Gonna Get - DR2/DR2:CZ
Ashes of Dreams Noveau - Nier
Still Alive - Portal

=3

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! I have never been able to find a decent orchestration of The Landing. It is my favorite combat theme from any Final Fantasy, and all I could ever find were crappy MIDIs.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Spoiler: The Blade Master aka Alastor Theme

Spoiler: Okami The Sun Rise

Spoiler: Unexpected Caller

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Spoiler: The Blade Master aka Alastor Theme

Damn it! I forgot how fucking awesome the Viewtiful Joe soundtrack was.

Why did Clover Studios get shut down!

WHYYYYYYYYY!

In Third Place... Far Away, Red Dead Redemption: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IkvAb6THQY
Second Goes To... Want You Gone, Portal 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVVZaZ8yO6o
And My Number One Is... Cohen's Masterpiece, Bioshock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlu2z2gkhhI

Cohen's Masterpiece + Piano + Explosives = Best part of Bioshock!
It's also a very good piece, showing the insanity of the denizens of Rapture in every other note. I think Bioshock has one of the very best soundtracks of ANY game.

 

[Je Suis Ubermonkey]

3: Faunts m4 part 2 (Mass Effect credits)
2: The best is yet to come. (MGS series)
1: Still alive. (You'd better know where this one's from.)

 

[MasterWhatever]

"Song of Storms" - Legend of Zelda:OoT

"Quake Theme" - Quake

"The Ocean on His Shoulders" - Bioshock


*Special mention goes to "The Wind Scene" - Chrono Trigger and "Doom Theme" - Doom who just missed the cut.
