Okami's not the 2006 action-adventure that needs a defense force. Maybe a sales force, but not a defense force.

Eh, economics isn't my forte. Maybe more a "support force," then? And, based on your wording, I take it you have another 2006 action-adventure in mind that does need a defense force...?

Good to see most of the Halo music already accounted for.

I nominate:

Sonic The Hedgehog -Starlight Zone

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Chemical Plant Zone

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Title Music

Diablo 2 - Tristram
Both this and the first game has so much great music. Uelman ftw.

Starcraft - Terran 3

Anarchy Online - Sand Dunes
Anarchy Online - Seascape
Anarchy Online - Dungeon Dub
(couldn't find these, sorry... anyone? )

Command & Conquer: Red Alert - Hell March

and of course...

Megaman 2 - Woodman


EDIT: Hmm, seems like Airman, Hell March, Chemical Plant and Dr Wily's Castle Were already nominated. Awesome. Too much to vote for! JSRF, Deus Ex and Portal all deserve credit too!

Your links are inversed. :)

This makes me think... it seems like very few people are actually listening to new music people are posting, like it says in the OP. Can I get a holler from people who are? Thanks. :D

I'm going to go ahead and suggest that everyone keeps it to one song per individual game from here on out, as that's probably how I'm going to trim the final list.
Click to expand...
Probably a good thing in my case--I doubt that I could otherwise narrow myself down to as few as 40 songs even if the world only had any three games/series out of Advance Wars (series), Castlevania (series), Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country 2, F-Zero (series), Final Fantasy (series), Fire Emblem (series), Kirby (series), Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, Mario Tennis (series), Mega Man (series, including X), Pokemon (series), Star Ocean: The Second Story, and Wild ARMs. :p



Anyway, didn't see these nominated in the OP, but there's always the possibility that some were re-named after I started my YouTube hunt:


Advance Wars: Dual Strike - Sami's Theme
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean - Supreme Ruler of the Nine Heavens
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - The Pinnacle
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - Jail of Jewels
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Bloody Tears
Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Snakey Chantey
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard - Cherry Tree Bridge
F-Zero - Big Blue
Final Fantasy V - Clash at the Big Bridge
Final Fantasy VI - Celes
Final Fantasy IX - You Are Not Alone
Final Fantasy Tactics - Battle on the Bridge
Kirby Super Star - King Dedede's theme
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals - For the Savior
Lunar: Eternal Blue - Crowded Street Corner
Mario Tennis Power Tour - Grass Court (2)
Star Ocean: The Second Story - Theme of RENA
Suikoden II - Beautiful Morning
Super Fantasy Zone - Stage 4
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World - Collet ~it is sad~
The World Ends With You - Calling
Wild ARMs - Adlehyde Castle


Haven't found non-remix links for yet:
Baten Kaitos Origins - Raincloud
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - first level theme
Dragon Quest IV - In a Town
Fire Emblem 7 - Girl of the Plains ~Lyn's Theme~
Shining Force II - Welcome to Our Town
Tales of Phantasia - Take Up the Cross

I'll probably think of yet more, but that'll do for a start, I guess.

I'd just like to point out that, even though Deathcraze's list is lolhueg and he's listed multiple tracks per game, it won't take me very long to integrate into my list because he's used the same format:

[ URL ] GAME NAME - TRACK NAME [ /URL ]

If everyone else could do that, it'd save me a lot of time.

I'm trying to hear it all, but right now we probably have a few hours worth of music. Most people will probably vote for the favourites they know and love anyway :<

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
zack & wiki staff roll - the whole game had one gem of a soundtrack, but the credits section is the cherry on top. an amazing irish-roots pirate theme.

also, what's wrong with you people - where's the RE4 staff roll nomination? it's not like the game is obscure or anything.

True, but I suppose it's still early enough to change the system. You could have a mod edit the thread title so that people who have already nominated will know that the rules changed, or you could get the thread locked and start a new one, if you think that would help.

The best formula in my opinion would be to keep it at 5 nominations per person, and no more than 1 song for a single game. That way you would get a much more even spread.

But that's just my opinion. If you think this is fine, then don't worry about it.

I agree. I would even take it a step further, by applying the "1 per game" rule to the voting process as well. Or at the very least, keep the amount of tracks per game to a limited amount. It would make things a little bit more interesting and more in the spirit of 'broadening your horizon', as most voters will just list a few (of their favourite) games in their lists. Even though I still expect the major franchises to come out on top, enforcing this limit will make the outcome less skewed in favour of these games.

Sixfortyfive: I know it's a hassle, but could you update the OP with the nominations, or list the current nominations at your website? This topic will only grow as time goes on, and new voters might not know which games are not nominated yet, and are likely to nominate some tracks which have already been mentioned in the topic.

I'm working on all of that.

Final voting list will only have 1 song per game to pick from. I'll narrow the list down myself if I have to.

In the process of updating the OP right now.
