You can't post DDR music without posting Captain Jack:

And Naoki - Dynamite Rave

I unironically love DDR's music. The more silly Eurobeat the better :)

I played THE poo poo out of Bust A Groove 1 and 2. They're amazing games, and it's a pity the game and audio desync when emulating, because that's death for a rhythm game. Seriously, behold a robot with African and voguing influenced dance moves face off against a man in tighty whities painted as a panda. Best rhythm games.

Game music pet peeve: when you're listening to some tracks on youtube in the background, and the next video is always some version of "aquatic ambiance" from DKC. That song is apparently really popular and the youtube algorithm redirects you to it, it's also always in SNES music compilation videos, usually somewhere at the beginning along with that slightly annoying forest music from SMRPG. I just want to hear more obscure songs.

My peeve is that it's really hard to find just regular versions of a lot of songs. Youtube is so certain that all I really want is 10 hour loops, full OST in one vid, or playlists. Just let me see the individual songs! :(

Been playing a lot of my old c64 games recently and i'd forgotten just how good the soundtrack to Creatures is:

Steve Rowlands was a great composer, even though a lot of his songs sounded very similar to each other. Part of the C64 charm, I guess.

My current video gaming time is being spent playing or replaying RPGs that aren't the big names. So no Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales, etc. I'm replaying a title I haven't played in yeeeeears, which has reminded me it has some catchy tunes.

This short song that was clearly meant as filler regardless became my favorite EverQuest song, and I used to just sit on the island in the Erud Crossing (despite the song being called Kerra Isle) just to hear this music.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_9dX2Ziuds
Speaking of short, have the shortest song in the thread! Installing the game was probably more fun than playing it, thanks to this song.

Hey, I can be convinced that console music is great, too!

The best thing to come from the D&D fighting game "Iron and Blood" by far.

Might & Magic has several songs across its many titles that are stealth fantastic, like Escaton's Crystal or the song that plays in Heaven from this same game, but this is one that can hardly be described as stealthy.

The OST to Mr. Bones which is essentially studio versions of the in-game music.

Possibly my favorite part of the 32-bit era. They seemingly rubber-stamped the poo poo out of any concept that sounded halfway decent. Truly some cocaine-fueled oddities emerged from the PSX/Saturn.

These are a bit past the PS2 era in terms of retro, but both games are over (or coming up on) 10 years old, and I have a thing for percussion and deep voices in music (and also Pokemon), so here you go (the new gym leader theme in SwSh is SUPER HYPE)

A whole bunch of C64 soundtracks by the likes of Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway are permanently burned into my brain, but my all time favourite of the era is Suicide Express. It's not credited in the game, but AFAIK it's by Ben Daglish, who did the music for a lot of Tony Crowther's other games (including Black Thunder, which is literally a slightly reskinned Suicide Express with far worse music).

Question: which is the “correct” Solstice theme. Is it:

Or is it:

The latter sounds more accurate with less painful arps. I’m inclined to think it’s the latter, despite being slower.

If Tim (or Geoff) Follin is involved, there is no wrong answer.

Edit:
But the PAL version is how it's supposed to be, what with the Follin brothers being Brits.
