My vote goes here. It's nice that you can run right through the village, but when you have to go BACK to recruit a character, you have to listen to more than 5 seconds of that trash.
Come to think of it, it's not just the music, even. The whole town was an eyesore. I know it was on purpose, but it's such a cruel joke.

The thing about it is... it's so bad, it's awesome. Too awesome to be counted as one of the worse, as there are genuinely bad mind-numbing tracks in some games.

Anything? Really? including all his pre-Tales stuff?
I'm usually not bothered by music that's compositionally bad as music that's stupidly short (although it can always be both!).
GD Leen was one of the first RPGs on the SNES, based on an earlier game for PC-88 or something. It has three battle themes.
The normal battle theme is 30 seconds, unfortunately not that unusual in those days.
The boss battle theme is about the same. Neither theme is very good.
But the final boss theme is an 11-second loop.
For some reason, when they produced an OST for the SFC version, they made the last boss theme loop for two and a half minutes.
Why would you do that? Why?

You know something else about this? Haven't read further down and maybe someone pointed it out already, but Hitoshi Sakimoto did the soundtrack, and I agree it's mindblowingly boring, which is crazy considering how up on his junk I am for the Radiant Silvergun and Vagrant Story soundtracks.
Gradius 2/3/4 have amazing music (not so much a fan of part one) and this just didn't capture the same spirit. Sad really, combined 2 of my favorite things and failed miserably.

actually, "IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS" is about as Konami as you can get. Listen to it and then listen to "Theme of Solid Snake".
It's nice to hear Sakimoto break out of the usual style...

Ghost Lion (old NES RPG) battle theme:

a 3 second loop of pure torture.

Sure, I hear that - it is very metal gear-esque in the instrumentation. I'm not exactly out of my seat dancing though!
It is cool to hear H.S. do different genres, though, you're right about that.
Oh and before I totally disown the Gradius V soundtrack, I really like "Intermezzo" - that's all.
That's what I was gonna say. This particular one has a ~15 second tune but is horrible nonetheless. (Note how the rhythm stumbles whenever you switch screens.)Pureauthor said:
I'd like to place a vote for Jak and Daxter. Such a beautiful game brought down by its absolutely dreadful soundtrack. It was so boring and uninpsired to the point where it prevented me from wanting to continue playing.
I'm also going to add Zelda Wind Waker to that list and agree with the poster who mentioned the Tales of series (excluding Legendia, which features one of the BEST soundtracks I've ever heard, oddly enough).

Oh, come on, there was some great music in there. Yes, many of the main battle themes were annoying Godsmack rip-offs, but the music used during exploration was quite atmospheric and well done.Threi said:
I don't think it did. They simply used the same awful vocal song for virtually every battle. Terrible terrible choice. Some of the music outside of battle was decent, however.
Tales of Vesperia has decent music but theres one track that plays every now and then when characters are joking or just being silly that drives me fucking crazy. If anyone has played the demo they know what i'm talking about.
Besides that I vote DMC4 for worst overall that i've heard.

Oh man, why didn't I think of it earlier, from long ago, I've always absolutely despised ROLLING STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT from Daytona USA. It's worse than fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
