- princeofhosts, on 10/23/2008, -7/+71Lack of Metal Gear Solid theme makes me sad. :(
- Gravey9, on 10/23/2008, -2/+57When that Legend of Zelda music hit I got goosebumps. EPIC!
- Archcoder, on 10/23/2008, -5/+56What you fail to realize is these songs were heavily debated on an open forum, the list wasn't compiled by some jackoff and it wasn't just an anonymous poll. You pretty much just called thousands of gamers douchebags for not having the same exact taste in music as you.
Also, it's the TOP 10 list, not the TOP 10 AND SOME EXTRA SONGS list. - DjOverEZ, on 10/24/2008, -2/+35One word: Tetris.
- hokeywebb22, on 10/23/2008, -0/+30Because the zelda theme kicks more ass.
- Shogi, on 10/24/2008, -9/+28Yet another top 10 list tainted by nostalgia. Yes these themes are memorable pieces from every gamer's childhood, but I'd hardly consider them best when compared to more recent fully orchestrated pieces or newer versions of the same themes.
- kinggimped, on 10/23/2008, -56/+74Wow, those guys are a bunch of douchebags.
By the way, for those who don't want to watch the video (and you'd be pretty wise to be that way inclined), here's the top 10:
10. Sonic The Hedgehog (Megadrive) - Green Hill Zone
9. Donkey Kong Country (SNES) - Gang Plank Galleon
8. Final Fantasy (NES) - Prelude (aka Theme)
7. Secret of Mana (SNES) - Fear of the Heavens (aka Title Theme)
6. Duck Tales (NES) - Moon Theme
5. Super Mario Bros (NES) - Theme (aka Level 1-1)
4. Super Metroid (SNES) - Theme
3. Duke Nukem 3D (PC) - Grabbag (aka Duke Nukem Theme)
2. Megaman 2 (NES) - Dr Wiley's Stage
1. Legend of Zelda (NES) - Theme
I don't think one of these would be in my top 10. Way too general. The Duck Tales one was pretty great, though. And boy, did that presenter have an irritating voice.
Can't believe there's not even an honourable mention for some of the music from Chrono Trigger, Castlevania, Katamari Damacy, Mario Kart, Tetris, Actraiser, Dragon Quest... meh.
Of all Nobuo Uematsu's (Final Fantasy composer from I - X) music, the prelude? Really? It's just arpeggios... it's representative of Final Fantasy, but that's only because it's the only track that appears in every game.
I'm not a huge gamer but I'm a huge fan of video game music, and this video was pretty disappointing to me. Hopefully others might find it a bit more definitive. - DjOverEZ, on 10/24/2008, -1/+16You're an old school Russian song!
- mishangelle, on 10/24/2008, -0/+15No Chrono Trigger? Lame.
- sean_d2345, on 10/24/2008, -2/+16Great List. Wiley's Stage is teh awesome
- KingRocket, on 10/24/2008, -1/+15I'll put money on the classics like the SMB theme and Zelda to be around in 20 years time, most modern stuff wont even be remembered
- financedude2, on 10/24/2008, -1/+13This list is bordering on fraud for not including The Great Mighty Poo from Conker's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kscWc5IoWrw - djodorg, on 10/24/2008, -5/+17Halo also has good themes
- m4csrgh3yk3v, on 10/24/2008, -0/+11except it's not actually composed by them. It's an old school Russian song.
- EvanVolm, on 10/24/2008, -2/+12Even though it's far from being a top 10 contender(not even a top 20), the Diddy Kong Racing theme will be cemented in my brain forever. FOREVER.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kScx6SlpUJk - Bologner, on 10/24/2008, -1/+10Exactly.
You can hate on Halo as much as you want for how mediocre of an FPS it is, but once that theme kicks in...... Well, can you describe it? - phbohn2, on 10/23/2008, -0/+9damn, i was hoping it would be a rick roll.
- MaTT2011, on 10/24/2008, -0/+9Way too general? Really? Seems pretty specific seeing as they pick ONE game for each of the 10.
This list is subjective; as all lists are. complaining that it doesn't reflect YOUR personal, also subjective, opinion is absolutely retarded. By its very definition it wont do that. - tm13lke, on 10/24/2008, -4/+13I was surprised Halo didn't make it. Even if you don't like Halo, you can't deny it didn't have incredible music. Especially the theme.
- bobtheunholy, on 10/24/2008, -0/+8You're the best.... a-round...
- Aeroboy, on 10/24/2008, -1/+9Portal?!
- JessicaSarahS, on 10/24/2008, -0/+7I love that theme. When I first heard it performed by a full orchestra, I teared up!!
- rabidmonkey1, on 10/24/2008, -1/+7The obviously never played Monkey Island...
- metroidragon, on 10/24/2008, -0/+6Thank you Arch, I buried you just so I could digg you twice.
- Sabretou, on 10/24/2008, -0/+6Deus Ex theme has always been the most memorable for me.
- pedo, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5I used to leave Final Fantasy II and Secret of Mana on just to listen to the opening music.
- frepnog, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5yep. ***** awesome.
Halo has one of the best soundtracks ever in a game. - Elranzer, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5It's Wily, not Wiley, goddammit.
- noahgelman, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5It would have been well played if it were a rick roll
- Rikushix, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5I'm just gonna be the non-conformist here and say I thought this was a decent list.
Although I'm biased because I probably would have smacked someone if Zelda wasn't first. - ThinkIcouldburn, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5This man knows great video games.
- Torley, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5Definitely a big nod for the Deus Ex music — melodic, well-programmed, and impossible to forget once you've played the game.
Also would've put some classic SID music from the Commodore 64 on there, like "Lazy Jones" which was later adapted into "Zombie Nation", and this Hubbard classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqJoImNTs8I - m4csrgh3yk3v, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5Commodore 64?
- ramenite, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5Yeah, I'm another "why isn't Chrono Trigger in this list"
CT's soundtrack is considered the best OST for any video game. Nearly every song in that game is a classic. It's good enough to stand on its own merits as a musical collection and not JUST a video game OST.
Well, if you put in CT, something else has to go. Secret of Mana gets the boot. It's great, but CT is better. - Piccolojr, on 10/24/2008, -0/+5Stuttering Craig is a cool dude. No idea how you got the fact that he's a douche into your head.
- GuacamoleSan, on 10/24/2008, -0/+4Cmon Ocarina of Time Kakariko Village!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MWMeaI08zQ&feature ... - NomortaL1, on 10/24/2008, -0/+4i was about to mention Deus Ex! great music
- bigdoglj52, on 10/25/2008, -0/+4damn you
- kinggimped, on 10/24/2008, -1/+5Well the Prelude is generally skipped past, right? As you tap the start button feverishly to load your save game.
Recurring themes like the Chocobo theme, the Victory Fanfare and the battle music (they're mostly based on the same musical footprint) are far more memorable in my opinion, especially if you invest the hours.
Meh. - Regulator980, on 10/24/2008, -1/+5For those who love video game themes, try www.ocremix.org . Best video game remixes on the net hands down!
- panpizza15, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3Did you hear what he said? Your list will be different than everyone elses.
- metroidragon, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3Martin O'Donnell is an amazing composer, right up there with Koji Kondo as one of the greatest of our age.
- Vintersemestre, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3***** yes.
The music that plays when you're in UNATCO is ***** amazing. - SketchaMPM, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3Yeah seriously. Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross had some of the greatest video game music of all time. That composer is a genius.
- wafflesomd, on 10/24/2008, -1/+4MGS theme should be in there.
It's such a great composition that IMO goes far beyond any other arrangement as far as video games are concerned. - MaTT2011, on 10/24/2008, -2/+5Hey! This list doesn't reflect my personal opinion! Therefore it iz t3h sux0rz!
Lists and opinion pieces shouldn't have any of that "subjective" stuff anyways....
Who needs logic? Apparently most of the comments here. How about you look at the list and appreciate it for what it is? God forbid we discuss the merits of the games selected in this one list... - cawfee, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3System Shock 1 / 2 music. Also Deus Ex.
Also Uplink. - EllimistX, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3No Mario Bros. 3 theme? I think it's more memorable because the original Mario theme is somewhat overused/heard. I know it gave me a strange, warm feeling when I heard it for the first time in over 15 years in Mario Galaxy...
- bogush, on 10/24/2008, -0/+3Cannon Fodder. Does anyone remeber this one?

Best ever. - doobiebrother, on 10/24/2008, -2/+5STREETS OF RAGE, NO?
