On the Innovation Thread, I heard several songs that were completely amazing to the ear, as well as heard a few of my old favorites. This time around, I ask for all the surprising songs of gaming. Songs that either felt out of place, or you just didn't see coming. A reason behind your song/link would be nice too. Very nice. And keep it in the realm of Sony, preferably PS3.

Example: Eternal Sonata~ Broken Balance Reason: It's a Waltz gone evil. And it almost sounds like Sakuraba didn't do it! What else do you need? :P

Master List:

PS1

*Pending*

PSP

PS2

PS3

Eternal Sonata ~ Broken Balance

Guess Ill give the thread a push.

Ys VII- Scias PSP

While the entire OST was quite a departure from older Ys games, this track takes the cake. One of the first Ys boss themes that dont completely annihilate guitars.

Another push! Drakengard 2's Growing Wings. Reason: The original had Growing Wings, but it was a chopped orchestra version. But this version was a pure orchestra, so it was great to the ears. Not to mention just as creepy for an Enix game. :P Link (I'll update the master list soon.)

Honestly.. PS3 song would be Old Snake theme from MGS4

either that or Ethans Mars theme from heavy rain (i'm playing through it now and pretty much the whole soundtrack is amazing...

on PSP i'd nominate jeanne d'arc theme

Ps2 theme totally goes to Katamari on the Rocks from katamari Damacy

On the PS1 no other song in any game ever has stood out as much as the opening theme from Persona 2.. its simply beautiful

this is war-dragon age origins. oh my god, HATE. in what was an otherwise appropriate if almost stereotypical score, they threw in this monstrosity even though it had no place. electric guitar, pop singing, child choral pieces, and synths? what the **** were they thinking?

Guilty Gear X- Awe of She

Very Daisuke-ish but way more diabolical sounding then most of his work

This song completely shocked me and blew me away when I first played Persona 4.
