Well we all have our love of game music, some more than others. I have been involved in the music industry for a few years, not any more tho. I have felt the mood of game music throughout the years. So what game music would you think we would like to hear?

The rules of this thread are simple. Post your entry and have a link to the music. Do NOT post without a link. I really don't want to see someone saying "Well that last post was trash coz obviously theme 2 in FF6 was better" and then no link to back it up.

I will start with:

Battle Squadron: Saw it at a friends house, loved it to death.
Donkey Kong Country (Water): love this level, makes me feel worried
Data Storm: Excellent game, the music here is kewl
Doom E2M2: Very alone, very scared.
Screamer 2 Egypt: Okay this is just weird.
GTA (Head Radio): Awesome use of a mixing desk
Gods (Remix): I utterly love this remix of the Amiga game Gods.
James Pond: Your underwater friendly fishy.
Pinball Dreams (Intro): This always reminds me of playing the GP32.
Klonoa 2 (Seaway & Calm Sea): I had a lot of inspiration from this.
Secret I was going thru a bad patch when I played this game. This was playing when my friend helped me. Can anyone guess what game it is from?
Spyro: Aww the little scamp of a dragon. This music will only be heard on some levels if you linger long enough.
Stardust: The most awesome use of the Amiga one can have.
Starfox (Corneria): It’s what it says, but still my fave 
Superfrog (Intro only): Ohh this music is amazing, it’s a shame it instantly leads on to a load ot tripe
Zool: The Demo for Zool 2 and apparently Zool1 end game music. Excellent though.

Okay, post the link to your fave music.

Do I have to say it again, posts claiming another bit of music was better coz blah blah and not backing it up with the actual ink to the music is null and void and will probably be deleted anyway. And that includes lubidog too....
 
Some of the best in game music for a shooter, I would have to say, is "Gate of Thunder" for the PC Engine.
Gate of Thunder
Playing the Level with track 11 is ingrained in my brain.

I just riped this CD and put the game on my SD card this past week. Just doesn't have the music. :( Wished there was a way to put it all together to play on the GP2X with the music.
 
The soundtrack to Loco Roco is better than the game! I have it on my Ipod!

Sorry this post and lubidog's is invalid, you didn't post a link so we can hear the music, and that means we have noo idea what you are on about.

I'm very much a fan of the overclocked remix rearrangement scene. There are some awesome mixers and liveartists there. (Also check out the Doom remix CD, that was definately worth the download, very cool gothic and industrial tracks, the E2M2 remix is on there too)

Speaking of which, you should check out the one ups, they play(ed, stopped now) videogame music, and very well too. I have 2 of their cd's.

Following are all direct links to the songs... (if unallowed, I'll edit :p) :

Dancing Mad (FF6 final boss fight) - This is Dancing Mad performed by Ailsean (Sean Stone, guitarist of the one ups and popular remixer of ocremixes) and Virt. A very cool hard rock version.

Beneath the Surface (Donkey Kong water level) - An awesome jazzy version of the popular theme.

Checkan Winters (Donkey Kong - Northern Hemispheres) - Prophecy is a very good remixer, this 'techno' version rocks. His other stuff is good too.

Fear and Sufferance (Zelda Dark Link theme IIRC) - K. Praslowicz is another well known OC remix artist, if you like this, you should listen to his FF6 - Shadow's Theme track. Awesome guitar and dark, epic song.

Mazedude is another well known name on ocremix, mainly for his awesome Doom II songs. If you want, try out Bloodbath and Gothic Sandy.

There's a lot more good stuff on there. I downloaded the whole ocremix archives on torrents.

Both my favourites are from StarCraft, the first is "Terran" from the original game, and the second is the "Broodwar Theme" that plays in the opening movie for the expansion.

Wow that IS a big list, it will take me a few mins to romp through it all. I love the Tomb Raider music myself too!
