Favorite Soundtracks

[peduncle]

the Final Fantasy music is heavenly

 

[Rune342]

I have always been a fan of the Fairy Tail soundtrack. Here are four of my favorites.

 

[SplashyAxis]

A few posts have mentioned Inception, and I have to agree, it's a stunning soundtrack, especially this...

 

[RanD00M]

The soundtrack to Iron Man 2 was excellent.It was one of the reasons why I went to see that movie.

 

[Hazy]

Braid
Marvelous game. Marvelous soundtrack.

 

[Extraintrovert]

I'm going to be incredibly unoriginal here and mention anything by John Williams, especially all six Star Wars films (yes, including the prequels), Schindler's List and Indiana Jones. But this especially (it seriously doesn't get any better than this):

On a more obscure note, I wouldn't feel right posting on a music thread without mentioning Touhou at least once. Almost everything ZUN makes is just wonderful, and there is at least one masterpiece per game. Case in point:

EDIT: I'm in despair, forgetting Braid has left me in despair!. Oh well, here's my contribution:

I like some anime ones, like Deathnote and Naruto.

 

[Great North]

Persona games. Especially Persona 3 FES. I would actually run around in circles for five minutes so I could hear the entire soundtrack loop before running to the next area sometimes.

[Beartrucci]

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

At first I was slightly turned off by it because you said 'remix' and I was expecting some techno song, but that was fucking epic.

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.

Seconded in every aspect. The entire Metroid Prime series has one of the best video game soundtracks to date. Each track fits with the area so well, and most of them are awesome enough to stand up as great music on their own. The electric/ambient nature mix of the music just fits the game so well...

The Baby Sheegoths aren't actually that bad. One charged beam shot to the back and then just pepper them with 3 or 4 regular shots. The big Sheegoths are really annoying though, but it's a good thing that they only appear in two locations further into the game, and the one in the quarantine cave is really easily bypassed.

Kick-Ass soundtracks. They simply are amazing. Here are afew of them:

NightVision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze7P0m8GVl0

Enjoy.

I particularly love the soundtracks for The Fountain and Mass Effects 1+2.

I Completely agree.
The music fits the Style and Atmosphere of what Metroid is so well.
A very spacey style that is mixed with a Natural style as well.
Take the Chozo Ruins for Example, the Music the played fit with the Environment, a once pristine city formed from the very environment it was built in, inhabited by the most Advanced species in the universe.
The Music felt like that, a Ruined City being taken back by the Planet.
And the Music could easily stand on its own.

Spoiler: Hell the Menu theme is one of the best Pieces of Music in the game

And yea, the Baby Sheegoths were no Problem.
It was the Groups of the Adult Sheegoths that became a hassle.
Especially if one Froze you and the others Shot you while you were frozen.
I hated the Smaller Areas of the game because i like to Jump a lot in a Fight.

Gurren Lagann Soundtrack,


This song alone has gotten me through some tough times.

 

[dalek sec]

Ok my favorite sound tracks for tv shows are: Cowboy Bebop, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Doctor Who and Torchwood. I think my favorite of all of those however is Battlestar Galactica, some of those songs till make me teary eyed when I think about them.

 

[Blue Musician]

It should be no surprise that Neon Genesis Evangelion is among my most favorite of soundtracks

Damn, ninja by the OP. *sigh*

OT: Beyond Good and Evil has one of my favorite soundtracks.

Spoiler: Propaganda song that appears in Beyond Good and Evil

So does American McGee's Alice
Also I loved the ending songs of the Fatal Frame series:

Spoiler: It's three songs in total

Another soundtrack that I loved was the Silent Hill series soundtrack. Just mindblowing. I won't post examples, I am sure that every ones what I am talking about.
