Collection of Epic Tracks

Well I have been lagging on coming up with a new soundtrack to do, so I decided to go with my idea of making a top list of epic tracks. One of my favorite things about making this list was seeing how varied each track was from system to system and game to series.

Top 12 Sad Songs

Well Andy was surfing YouTube one day and happened upon a bunch of top 10 sad song videos – and, to be quite honest – they were all pretty bad. Yes, Final Fantasy has some fantastic sad music, but an entire list of them doesn’t do Video Game Music justice. It merely gratifies the fan boys that justify the FF series as the IT of gaming. Not that Nobuo Uematsu is not deserving of as much recognition, but there are other composers. As for the rest of the lists, I did see some notable choices, such as Sadness from Terranigma, but there were a few suspect songs missing.

Top 10 Soundtracks: Ninja Gaiden

Placing this soundtrack at fourth was an incredibly difficult task because I have long held this to be THE greatest soundtrack ever made. The game itself pushed the bar on video games because of its use of cut-scenes and there’s an excellent track behind each one. If there’s any two composers that deserve recognition (or at least a wikipedia page) it’s More Yamasan and B. Hasake.

Top 10 Classic Soundtracks of 2008

Well I’ve decided that every year I’ll make a top 10 soundtrack list, and with the new year being 10 days away, I can knock off one a day. The cutoff for this list is the Dreamcast/N64/PSx line so when I don’t include KH2, Katamari Damacy, or Shadow of the Colossus, it’s only because I I can’t. So not long from now, I will announce our number 10. Stay tuned.
