Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping 364

The field of game music has gotten considerably better over the years, a fact that Games Radar highlights in a simple 'list article' about iPod-worthy game music. They highlight some obvious recent gems, like Coulton's "Still Alive" and "Hikari" from Kingdom Hearts, but also bring back some older goodies with choices like "Everybody Jump Around" from Jet Set Radio or "Chemical Plant" from Sonic 2. "Sonic games used to have amazing music. And while single-player Mystic Cave Zone came a close second, this has to make the list. It may be basic compared to modern CD recordings, but just listen to how each of the console's sound channels is used - it's remarkable. Intricate and dramatic, this industrial anthem builds and builds before seamlessly looping in a non-annoying way."

    Bah, no list that has Sonic music is valid if it doesn't list the music to Casino Night zone. Especially with Lyrics!: Oh, casino night zone, casino night. Casino night zooone, casino nigght zoooone

    Ooooh! Horrible start! Well, this post is about music in games and soundtracks worth keeping. Perhaps if you talk about the preferences of a nerdier crowd shying away from a game and justify this statement, you'll still be able to recover. Just don't do something like post ASCII porn or goatse...

    Oh no, ASCII porn... while I do think the tiny exclamation point penis is a nice touch, Slashdot tends to be of the crowd that likes to have justification for statements. Maybe a link to an article that backs up your initial statement now.

    -Link to Goatse Removed-
    Oh man, strike three. I just don't see any merit in your comment at all. And the fact that you had to hide behind an Anonymous Coward username only goes to show that your penis must be smaller than your ASCII porn's exclamation point. While you haven't won or lost anything, I'm sure there are plenty of people here on Slashdot who wish you the best of times rotting in hell.
    Well that's all for this installment, but stay tuned for the next installment of The Slashdot Moderation Game!!!

For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
