Favorite Soundtracks

[delet]

Have you ever been watching a movie or TV show or even playing a game and just noticed, "Wow, this music is awesome!"

I want to know: What are some of your favorite soundtracks to anything, and if you can, post some examples.

It should be no surprise that Neon Genesis Evangelion is among my most favorite of soundtracks, but I'll use a slightly less well-known tune from the soundtrack as an example:

Spoiler: I have no idea where they planned to use this.

Another of my most favorite soundtracks is the Paprika soundtrack, which has wonderful and very tripy music. Here's another less common example:


I also plan on getting the soundtracks to the game Lost Odyssey, the movie Inception, and possibly even Cowboy Bebop sometime in the future.

[Tartarga]

[Beartrucci]

I have a raging hard-on for the soundtracks of Shadow of the Colossus and Inception.

 

[Pielikey]

Team Fortress 2, and the Sam & Max Series.

 

[LongAndShort]

I loved the music in 'Public Enemies'. It all just seemed to work perfectly with the film. 'Rock'n'Rolla' (and most films by Guy Ritchie (and Quentin Tarantino while we're at it)) has a great soundtrack as well.

Metroid Prime has one of my favorite Soundtracks.
The Music was a Major part of the experience for me, and it was a big part of the game as well.

Spoiler: Phendrana Drifts is one of my Favorite Tracks from the game.

Iv always loved it, it fit with the Environment so well, and was a soothing piece of music.
It really made me feel like i was Alone, wandering around Frozen Ruins.

The only thing i hated about this area were the Sheegoths...
Sheegoths EVERYWHERE.
Not that hard to take out, but really annoying in groups.

 

[Snarky Username]

Ocarina of Time was one of my favorite sound tracks ever, as for movies, it may be cheating, but I'd have to say Pink Floyd's The Wall.

 

[wolf92]

Dr. Who
Star Wars
Across The Universe
The Matrix
Inception
Firefly

 

[monster at a party]

Cowboy Bebop and Paprika both have awesome soundtracks. I liked the Heavy Rain soundtrack also, so much that I actually bought it.

I loved the soundtrack for .Hack//Roots. In fact, I loved it so much I bought it. Here are some of my favorites.

Spoiler

Oooo, I agree. I bought the special editions just so I could have the music cds. Very well done.

 

[Dango]

Any song from the Clannad soundtrack makes me get all teary-eyed.

Spoiler: For example

And I love those songs.

Almost every track used in the Silent Hill games is solid gold, especially SH3 and Shattered Memories.

 

[likalaruku]

I usually hate game soundtracks, & it's usually older or more obscure games that I end up prefuring the sounds to.

On anime, I usually only like a few songs.

As far as I know, regular cartoons & TV series don't have soundtracks. These days they don;t even bother with opening & ending themes.

*.hack//SIGN OST collection.
*American McGee's Alice OST.
*Heroes of Might & Magic 4 OST.
*1503 AD OST.
*Fable TLC OST.
*Plant Tycoon OST.
*My Tribe OST.
*Hidden Expedition Titanic OST.
*Aveyond OST.
*Sonic for Genesis OST.
*Original DiGi Charat OST.
*Phantom of the Opera OST.
*Labyrinth OST.
*The Last Unicorn OST.
*Sam & Max Hith the Road.

I loved the soundtrack for .Hack//Roots. In fact, I loved it so much I bought it. Here are some of my favorites.

Spoiler

Only after listening to a few of those, I can already say I love it. That is, indeed, a wonderful soundtrack.

I have a raging hard-on for the soundtracks of Shadow of the Colossus and Inception.

SotC also has some amazing music, though I've found that many of the remixes of its' songs have worked out to be amazing as well.

Spoiler: This, in particular, is one of the best I have heard

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Valve's HL2 soundtrack. Infact I was listening to it right now.

Spoiler

EDIT: I also love the Hellsing soundtrack. It gives me chills just listening to it.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

As of right now, Burnout Paradise wins that spot, for a couple of reasons.

Examples of songs (Not reasons, although they are one of the reasons)

Spoiler: Hungarian Dance #5

Spoiler: Obvious song is obvious

Spoiler: Well I like it anywho, not too sure why though

And there we go, with any luck my choice of favourite game Soundtrack won't change too soon.

 

[Sougo]

Tekken 5
<spoiler=Hall of Fate>
<spoiler=Moonlit Wilderness>
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu
<spoiler=Intro instrumental>
Dynasty Warriors 4

[arsenicCatnip]

I have to say that the Metal Gear Solid series has a particularly amazing soundtrack.

Oh, definitely. The ending to MGS2, "Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday", still manages to make me tear up every time.

Cowboy Bebop and Paprika both have awesome soundtracks. I liked the Heavy Rain soundtrack also, so much that I actually bought it.

I own the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, and it's solid gold. The movie OST especially.

Two lesser-known songs, one from the series and one from the movie:

Spoiler: Words That We Couldn't Say - Steve Conte

Spoiler: Is It Real? - Scott Matthew

Anything with a score by Yoko Kanno is BEYOND incredible.
