Here is a good video from the Green Scorpion in which he lists his favorite video game songs with vocals

 

I'm a big fan of the Silent Hill, Brutal Legend and Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks.

Seriously made me feel like the last bastion of humanity, earth and all of her colonies.

And every other song in Halo 4's soundtrack. Edited November 23, 2012 by MrL0LZ

[Nohbdy 4,108]

Homeworld's rendition of Adagio for Strings. There needs to be a Homeworld 3.

 

 

Command & Conquer's Act on Instinct. Curse you, EA.

 

[LightRaider 148]

Oh, sorry guys. I forgot the gem that is the bastion soundtrack. (good god that game was amazing) IF you haven't played it, i highly reccomend you do. Its about 10$ on steam, and lasts about 5 hours.

i am a major dub step fan, however i do somewhat enjoy this genre of music. This song is from fallout new vegas and i quite enjoy listening to it even when not playing the game.

ARGHHH I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!

Ermmm I don't know. They Elder Scroll sound tracks are epic, but then I like the Spyro Soundtracks...

I'm not boring or anything but I also like the fallout songs such as:

I love video game music so much. I have an entire playlist on my iTunes dedicated to them. Here are some of my all time favourites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[AegisReflector 886]

I'm getting sick of posting music from Final Fantasy VIII (It's just such a GOOD Soundtrack, damnit!) so I think I will expand my horizons for this topic.

 

 

[Ferret Girl 2,642]

Music plays an important role in Games for me. Most of my absolute favorite games have amazing pieces of music that only add to the over all greatness of them.

 

So I created this thread to ask you all which games you think have the best music, or just post some of your favorite songs from games.

 

 

Please post a video of the music you are talking about so everyone can hear it thanks

 

The link below will take you to a site which contains a vast library of music from video games.

My favorite music from any video game is the Tetris theme song. I love how its rather simple, but it still is catchy. Also the music from Halo is pretty awesome as well.

[Thundershock 310]

the pokemon games i play have some really awesome music, but the best pokemon music is either

pokemon leafgreen champion battle music (most epic music ever!)

all the music im heartgold/soulsilver (they make all the music awesome, even team rocket music!)

[Windy Scamper 403]

Let's sit back and watch the Ohio State Marching Band's Video Game Show on Youtube again....

 

 

That about sums it up for me. Zelda is the most amazing though, both in the marching band show and the actual game.

[Zygen 6,066]

I like the soundtrack on skyrim, as it fits the game well. I dunno how much I like it outside of that though. I've listened to it a few times outside of the game,I kinda tune it out whenever I'm doing something though.

Pokemon has some pretty good tunes. I agree that the tetris tunes are pretty catchy to.

Halo soundtrack is pretty sweet to.

I don't pay a whole lot of attention to many of the others though. Alot of the time I don't pay attention to the ones I've listed either, seeing as I'm normally busy playing the game.

[Ferret Girl 2,642]

I could go on and on about Music from the Legend of Zelda games, but I am gonna save that for later.

 

I don't know if any of you have heard of a game called Dark Cloud. I got it many years ago on the PS2. It had an ... interesting... but really wierd story. But the music was just amazing.

[Betez 1,734]

Every song from Twilight Princess. The songs in that game are just phenomenal. Koji Kondo, the guy who composed all the music, is just a mastermind when it comes to writing music for videogames. He's made the music for just about every Zelda game since Link to the Past.

[Retro*Derpy 3,191]

Though there are hundreds of good video game music songs, I think one of the best is the main menu music on crisis two. I think it is amazing. I guess it just is my style of music?

For not so recent games Ill go with the compositions from the 98's to 00's Squaresoft games, the work of Nobuo Uematsu on FFIX, Yoko Shimomura on Legend of mana and Yasunori Mitsuda on Chrono Cross is a stroke ofgenuis made music.

Your have respect! I play fallout 3 and fallout new vegas and i absolutely love this kind of music ever since i first bought fallout 3!

[TheTEChguy27 273]

One of my favorite video game songs is the theme from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, "The Windmill Song". It's just so happy and cheery, it fits perfectly with the game. Klonoa itself is an awesome game, and I'd recommend it to any platformer lover. It was originally released on the PSX with the "Door to Phantomile" subtitle, but it was remade for the Wii with updated graphics. The Wii version is just called "Klonoa", and, WHATEVER YOU DO, PLEASE change the default voices of the characters from the default setting (which sounds godawful) to the Phantomilian setting, which is just random Japanese-ish gibberish. Sounds much cuter/better. Anyways, here's the theme:

 

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

Simple answer. "Dragonborn" from The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim and "Hope Runs Deep" From Gears of War 2. Both of which are not only my favourite music from games, but two of my favourite songs all together.

 

Dragonborn

 

 

 

 

 

Hope Runs Deep

 

 

 

 

[spas-ticShotty 3,584]

Mah favorite video game tune has to be this piece from Black Ops II.

This is extremely similiar to the multiplayer theme, although it sounds edited in some parts. Other than that, I love this tune .

I'm very glad I decided to read the thread before posting. I woulda looked silly posting the same exact songs. You do have a great taste in video game music!

[CloudFyre 848]

I've always loved video game music, from Halo, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and beyond. They're all amazing in their own respects. (Check out ZREO and PokeRemixStudio for some great remixes of Legend of Zelda and Pokemon music, respectively.)

 

This one has always stuck in my head as one of the greatest video game tracks of all time. Even if you've never played/heard of Kingdom of Hearts, I highly recommend listening to this all of the way through. It's well composed music from a beautifully epic game:

 

Kingdom of Hearts II - The 13th Struggle
