Top 10 videogame songs of ALL TIME

[IRANianCha0s]

I have a new all-time favorite song:

0. Electronical Parade - Killer 7

This is the song that plays while you explore a children's theme park in Killer 7. For such a serious and dark game, this song is a ray of light. It nicely accompanies the fireworks and bright lights going off in the background, and conveys a really happy atmosphere. The song has such a magical melody to it (like the golden saucer from FFVII), and you really feel like dancing to it while you explore the amusement park.
That is until you find out that an assassin who owns the park is kidnapping children, harvesting their organs, and then selling them on the black market. Oh, and he rapes the girls he kidnaps.
After discovering that, listening to this song is akin to seeing Satan get a job as a birthday clown. It's really creepy, and manages to make that "M" rating stick out a whole lot more.

[Eternal Anomaly]

I've played a lot of games and listened to a lot of good musiic, I think I can do it
Here goes:
1) Final Fantasy 12: Kiss me good-bye
Listen to it! Its sooooo good doesent matter which you heard jap or eng version!
2) Final Fantasy 9: Song from her memory
The song Garnet sings is so beautiful, I saved the spot in the game especialy just to load it and listen to the song. Until I got it on pc
3) Star Wars: KOTOR: Manaan
With the sound of falling water and soft breez blowing, this melody is so relaxing!
4) Silent Hill 3: I want love (studio mix)
I like the lyricks!
5) Silent Hill 2: Theme of Laura
Akira - the composer, is a GENIUS!
6) Star Wars: KOTOR: Bastila's theme
A very gentle and defenetly a SW melody.
7) Parasite Eve 2: Intro
8) Tomb Raider: The last revalation: Intro movie music

Mine is a work in progress as I just realised I can't remember the names of half of the tracks I like. I shall keep editting mine as this thread goes along.

So far I only have 9 choices. I need one more, but I cannot narrow it down to just one. And I can't pick my FFIX track either. Stuck between:

~"Crossing Those Hills"
~"The Place I'll Return to Someday"
~"Vivi's Theme"
~"Black Mage Village"


9. Sonic ~ "Green Hill Zone"
Brilliant.


8. Shining Force ~ ????
Mid battle when it switches to the actual screen where your character attacks.


7. DOOM ~ "Main Theme"
Legendary.


6. Halo 2 ~ "Main Theme"
The track with Steve Vai on guitar, if there was ever a track that would make me go to war it would be this.


5. Hitman II:Blood Money ~ "????"
I don't know the name of the track, but it has a choir in it from the beginning of the track.


4. Vagrant story ~ "An Attic of the Great Cathedral"
When Sydney is found by Ashley with the Blood Sin tattoo gone from his back.


3. Final Fantasy IX ~ "????"
NOT DECIDED YET.


2. Shadow of the Colossus ~ "The Opened Way"
You feel like you could kill anything whilst listening to this, so epic.


1. Final Fantasy VII ~ "You can hear the Cry of the Planet"
The theme when you first walk into the City of the Ancients. When I am half asleep/thinking/writing/typing/need to calm down. Pretty much in any state I can listen to this track for hours and hours on repeat. Sublime.

[Angantyr]

Ok this is going to be a work in progress as there is heaps of video game music I like but the majority of it comes from Final Fantasy. I will probably update this in a year or so as I have been collecting a lot of game music recently but I do not have a huge amount yet. Only have 7 for now


7) Mortal Kombat Trilogy ~ Scorpians Lair
Basicaly I downloaded the album out of boredom wondering if I would remember, unfortunately for being such and epic game there wasn't much that really caught me except this peice. It is quite dark and goes nicely with Scorpion.

6) Sonic The Hedgehog ~ Staff Credits
One thing I remember about sonic was that it had great music, all of the music on there is good so its too hard to say any specific song so I say Staff Credits simply because it is a remix with all the songs in 1 peice. The album is quite small

5) Ratchet & Clank ~ Gemlik Base (Un-availble )
It is quite Ironic this one, most of the music on here is average to weak, plus I don't really like techno that much. But this song has quite a techno'ish sound to it and I quite enjoyed it as I spent a lot of time here collecting bolts with my Gold Suck Cannon.

4) Silent Hill 2 ~ Theme of Laura (It may be at the same site just under a differant name)
As soon as you listen to this you feel like there is a whole world unlike something you've experiance before is coming up. It is like a Dark Melody telling a tale of Darkness and Despair but at the same time it has a feeling their is going to be some form of release. Quite captivating if I do say so myself.

3) Final Fantasy VII ~ For Those Who Fight Further/Still More Fighting
Quite a popular peice, for those who haven't heard it what the hell are you doing here? It is quite a catchy peice, has a nice metal sound but I prefer this than the Black Metal Version. Me and my friend just use to get to a boss just so we could put it on, cheesy yes but it was fun.

2) Silent Hill ~ Not Tomorrow 1
There is just something about this peice that feels real eeire, I listened to the midi version ages ago and learnt how to play it on the acoustic guitar as it is quite easy. From the first time I heard it, it made the hair on my neck stand and when I saw what the scene that went with it I was quite astonished. A small simple peice but at the same time quite well done especially for the part it's played in.

1) Final Fantasy 1 ~ Ruined Castle
From the very first time I heard this peice there was something truely magical about it, I think FF1 had one of the best OST's especially for its time. The whole game music is quite soothing to hear as you play through and doesn't put you off at all like some games do. Even though the game gets a lot of praise gameplay wise not much people mention the greatness of the music on it, all the peices are amazing from Gurgu Volcano to Matoya's cave. The reason I say this peice in particular is because it is something quite epic and dark, it is a rather simple piano melody but it is truely capitvating.

Honourable Mentions:
Final Fantasy IX ~ Black Mage Village
Final Fantasy VII ~ One Winged Angel
Silent Hill ~ Silent Hill, Tears of Time

I will reiterate one final time: Posts which do not meet the specifications of this thread (or at least make valid attempts to meet them with 7-10 songs from different games) WILL BE DELETED ON SIGHT. This isn't "just another topic;" it's stickied for a reason. Put some thought into it. If you can't come up with a list, simply do not post. It's not that difficult.
