A list that restrictive isn't going to be very representative, and it sure as hell won't if you're the only person picking which songs make the cut. Seriously, for Beyond Good and Evil you cut Home Sweet Home for Spanish Bar. I don't think too many people will agree with that.
Personally I agree, I think it is unfair to some games that have stellar soundtracks that they are limited to only 1 entry and as you say, Sixfortyfive cutting the list by himself will skew the list even further.
On the flip side however, I appreciate the effort Sixfortyfive is making to this thread, and the reasoning behind the cut and listening to the songs that remain I think he has done a good job. Perhaps if some games were to get so many recommendations as to be notable, maybe they should get a extra 1 or 2 songs to choose from in the final list? Saying that, I still have 30 of my songs included in the list, and it is comfort to me at least that the list won't be flooded with FF7 songs
Talking of the list, if I am allowed to be anal, Monkey Island and the Secret of Monkey Island are the same game and the same song is nominated for both, though one is from the CD version of the game (I think). Also one of the songs I nominated, Phantasy Star Online 3 Card Battle - Tower of Caelum, the name of the game should really be Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution. Must have made that name up in my head or something, sorry about that.
Worth a mention is that if you add &fmt=18 onto the end of a youtube url, it results in better quality audio in stereo providing the original file uploaded was in stereo.
