What is the best song to come out of a video game?

Can't believe noone has posted this yet.

Second. It's iconic to video games, widely recognizable and has successfully undergone multiple iterations.

Vagabond by Greenskeepers

 

[JPH330]

Decisive Battle from FF6 is probably one of my favorite video game songs ever. It's not 'touching' or 'full of soul' or whatever, but it's just so energetic and awesome.

Embedded it for ya. Sounds cool.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I instantly fell in love with this tune from Trine.


I love the melody... It reminds me of that sad, foreboding theme of Maridia in Super Metroid. While on the subject, Lower Norfair/Magmoor Caverns was pretty awesome as well.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

this is one of my favorite boss themes ever

Spoiler: chaos 3 theme, i fucking love listening to this during any boss fight

 

[Mr. McFuzzers]

Old Gods of Asgard- Children of the Elder Gods

It's from one of the best parts of Alan Wake and it's great.

In Halo 2, when you enter the Mausoleum of the Arbiter aboard High Charity, Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin starts playing, sans lyrics.
Also, the theme song from Shadow the Hedgehog for Gamecube.

 

[The Hairminator]

THIS.

Sadly, this actually is my favorite song of all time... not just from video games.

I was gonna post this but I think yours was better.

 

[HT_Black]

Frankly, I haven't the faintest idea.

 

[L4hlborg]

M4 (part 2) (the ending song of Mass Effect 1) by Faunts was really epic, so I'll skip the obvious choises and say that.

Also, Late Goodbye by Poets of the Fall (main theme of max Payne 2) was really good too. It also gave the band some good publicity and got them started.

OR the battle music from Skag Gully in Borderlands.

OR OR "The Art of War" from TF2

oor "Triage at Dawn" from Hl2. OR "Ravenholm". OR the entire soundtrack.

Ok, I can't pick just one I'm sorry. There's just too much to choose from.

ooor "What Kind of Hospital is This" from Hl2 Ep. 1
Ok, I'll stop now.

Sorry.

 

[Durxom]

God dang it...stop making me choose!

It's either Open Your Heart from Sonic Adventure

or 0[sup]2[/sup] from Kirby 64

Edit: Screw it, nothing is better than Open Your Heart, and I stand by that.
