The single greatest piece of video game music

[The_Vigilant]

...and why it's Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask. Discuss.

Nah, just kidding. What's your favorite individual song from an original video game soundtrack. You can only pick one. No ties. I know it's hard.

I have to go with the Morrowind theme.

 

[TheIronRuler]

It's this.

East and West in one beautiful piece.

There are a lot of really really really good pieces of game music.
It's impossible to just pick one out of game's history but... one that I always use as a perfect example of how good gaming's music can be is this...


It's not the best... but it's up there. <.<

 

[Tonythion]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

This music is just, gah.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Any song from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Nier - The Wretched Automatons

Something about this song i just absolutely adore. I can listen to it almost nonstop and not get sick of it. Which i usually play it a few times a day. My GF is about ready to murder me about now.

 

[NewYork_Comedian]

It's this.

This. Goddamn it still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it.

Ezio's family: Gives me freaking goosebumps every time I hear it.

The Bunker from Splinter Cell Conviction. It's such a badass theme when you're blasting through the Yastreb Complex offices, taking fire from every direction but still kicking ass. Hell, listen to the rest of the soundtrack. The entire game has the best soundtrack I've ever heard.

You know what? I'm tired of harvesting Youtube ids for everything Shoji Meguro has ever composed. Just pretend I posted the Prayer for Everyone's Souls or something.

Instead, have some trivia. Did you know Laharl has the same seiyuu as Marona from Phantom Brave and Miyako from Hidamari Sketch? Did you know it's impossible to unhear?
Trivia!

 

[A Shadows Age]

The intro from rush 2 for the n64. Mostly nostalgic.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Every Elder Scrolls Soundtrack since Morrowind. Jeremy Soule is a musical genius.

 

[Last Hugh Alive]

Any answer other than this is... Well, I would disagree with you.


Seriously, there's so much going on in this 4 minutes its incredible.

 

[Lawlhat]

I'd say this, and this game hasn't even come out yet.

 

[Lawlhat]

It got double posted. Ignore.

 

[Timedraven 117]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

This music is just, gah.

this or THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO1y7WQfD9c&feature=BFa&list=WL23C124E7EBBD9AA8&index=40

 

[Febel]

This, because it's awesome and because it's spawned dozens of remixes that are frickin' amazing. Like these

Oh god... See, after doing this series on video game music [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Top-Ten-Songs] (see that stealth-plug? That's how it's done), it's ridiculously hard for me to choose one.

But if I absolutely have to... I'd have to go with this right now-


God, the memories... Call this game as overrated as you like, the soundtrack is fucking legendary.

 

[MostlyHarmless]

Lavender Town theme from the original Pokemon.

So many conspiracies and CreepyPasta, it's easily the weirdest piece of music from a video game ever.

This. If I have to pick something else now that my choice has been posted, then I choose Snake Eater.
Now I really can't wait for the compilation now after listening to these two again.
