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

[gl1koz3]

Hell March still does it for me. From Red Alert. Frank Klepacki struck gold with it.

I wish the dude just went back to this (more simplistic) style. His new stuff is a little too fuse-blowing-ear-cutting for my taste.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Tough choice between these two:

Personally, I like them both equally.

 

[TheKillerCliche]

JET SET RADIOOOOOO!

Spoiler: My Vote

I love this song.

My vote goes to this as well! Awesome soundtrack!

 

[Berserker119]

The Windmill Hut Theme from Legend of Zelda, without a doubt, is the best song to come out of video games.

 

[Oinodaemon]

SCARS OF TIME- Chrono Cross

 

[Xyliss]

Still Alive-Portal

I don't think than anyone has topped that one yet.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that. And I totally agree, I'm actually listening to it now XD

 

[Xyliss]

Eyes on me.

Say what you want about Final Fantasy VIII, that is one beautiful song :')

I think Mirror's Edge Still Alive kind of deserves a mention too

Still Alive[/youtube]

Oh I love Still Alive, one of my favourite songs!

 

[ThirdEye95]

Just has to be this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp46nNt_FIE

 

[Nightfalke]

Noone has said this?


Mega Man 2 Wily Stage 1 FTW.

 

[Jedamethis]

Stil Alive.

the music from this comes a close second

 

[kaveradeo]

I think these take the cake on the scale of epic.

 

[Wes1180]

Pretty much any song from FFVIII like the chocobo theme or the victory theme or the balamb theme.
But Still Alive probably still wins hands down.

 

[Marter]

My favorite is "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X.

Zombies on my Lawn

 

[Weaver]

BOW DOWN BEFORE BUCK BUMBLE

 

[Decamper]

Still haven't heard anything to beat this yet, and there's been a lot of good ones.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Anything by Martin O'Donnell kicks ass. Say what you want about the story or gameplay of Halo, but the soundtrack kicks some major ass.


I got people who hate video games to listen to this in my music theory class last year and I think that they all had a bandgasm listening to this.

Baba Yetu from Civilization 4.
