Best Single from a Video Game

[The Apothecarry]

What's the best single from a game that you've ever heard?

I would have to go with Burning Jacob's Ladder by Mark Lanegan. I liked Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin until it became one of the most overplayed songs of the Internet of all time.

Sorry for the links. I have no clue how to post media on the page.

I liked Blow Me Away as well, before it became overused and synonymous with Halo. I also like Ain't No Rest For the Wicked by Cage the Elephant in Borderlands (I'm not sure if it's a single or from an album though).

Still Alive

It's not an exclusive single for Borderlands, but it's still an awesome song. Especially how Gearbox cut it to fit the intro. Sets the mood perfectly.

Still Alive

Forgot about that one. Good call!

The Persona 3 ending theme.


And Of course, Griggs's song from Call Of Duty 4


Also, the story behind the song: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584526/call-duty-4-endcredits-song-story-behind-rap-gamefile.jhtml

I wouldn't call it a single but I LOVE the turret opera from Portal 2, it just has to be longer

What better to listen to while killing zombies than a song that's about killing zombies?

There are others like both Still Alives (Portal and Mirror's Edge) and I do love basically all of Alan Wake's soundtrack but Ain't No Rest For The Wicked is just brilliant

Honourable mentions also go to the Fallout soundtracks as well...and Black Ops from Sympathy For The Devil by Rolling Stones to Fortunate Son by CCR to Won't Back Down by Eminem and Pink...plus all the zombie songs

Okay, game music is a lot better than I used to give it credit for

Also, Sonic gmaes throughout the years have had some pretty damn good music as well

Being the music geek that I am, I loved that Mass Effect 2 parodied Gilbert & Sullivan's "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" in Modrin's song about being a scientist Salarian.
