Well, that was a pretty spotty list. Sonic The Hedgehog in the top 10? Maybe in the top 100, but definitely not top 10 material.

If I had to choose my 10 best, it would be these (in no particular order);

  • Jet Grind Radio
  • Metroid Prime
  • Xenosaga: Episode 1
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Final Fantasy IX
  • Xenogears
  • Odin Sphere
  • Lunar: Silver Star Story
  • Final Fantasy Tactics
  • Final Fantasy VIII

Yeah, Jet Grind Radio's soundtrack ruled. Too bad a lot of ppl passed on the dreamcast, and this classic.

It's a pretty good list, but I was getting worried twards the end when no Megaman 2 showed up. I'm glad it took the number one slot, because I agree it has one of the best soundtracks ever.

Star Control II, Rocket Jockey, and Outcast make up at least three. The problem is deciding what the other seven should be, as I can't decide which random Japanese console games(usually JRPGs)should take the seven leftover spots.

dude. megaman.

btw, has anyone heard of The Protomen? they're pretty rockin'.

their first and only CD tells the story of megaman and protoman (all original material)
and their second CD is an NES remix. all of the original songs if they were on NES (with some bass added for funkability i suppose)

check em out.

While I think the list is great, especially with the honorable mention of Jet Set Radio (otherwise I might have an issue), but I just have to say, where's Actrasier? That had some killer tunes.

Advent Rising had a great soundtrack. Awe-inspiring.

Freedom Fighters also had a good soundtrack. I still need to figure out how to get ahold of that CD.

As for licensed music, that'd be GTA: San Andreas by a landslide....

As for original music, I'd say the Kingdom Hearts series.

Zelda and all other Nintendo games are pretty much implied in my opinion, and are thrown in with all those other Japanese console games that I can't just select seven of to take the other spots. This also reminds me-Super Smash Bros. Brawl has one of the best soundtracks in a game yet, but practically all of its music comes from other games, either directly or remixed.

Some of those are re-releases or remakes of other games already in the list, but what I really want to ask is this: where the hell is Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake(the real MG2 only released to Japanese MSX owners until apparently being repackaged with MGS3:Subsistence)?

The music in Twisted Metal 2, Twisted Metal Black and Twisted Metal Head-On made each level feel unique and helped set the mood for each boss battle.

Vigilante 8's also helped fit the alternate 70's timeline they were going for.

Twisted Metal 2 had the best. The rest of those those were alright. I also liked Vigilante 8: Second Offenses soundtrack.

I just discovered an unreleased GBC RPG called Infinity. It may not seem like much, but the soundtrack is quite impressive to the point where I'd consider putting it in my top 10 despite it being for a game that never made it on retail shelves.
