Theme Songs

Kraken

What is the best cartoon/game theme song?

Thunder Cats

bubbles

Angle Links or Burn Up W

Very good songs for the theme.

TinCool

Rambo First Blood Part 2 in game music or Commando. Both on C64. Anything generally created by Rob Hubbard. PC music is mostly forgettable. Although Monkey Island 2 was good in its ad lib'ness.

i have 'magical sound shower' as my ringtone .

also the music from the c64 game wizball clearly ownz.

GoneShootin

cartoon : top cat [the undisputable leader of the gang]

game : paper boy, for the BBC Master

Shinji

Metal Gear Solid. The original - although the Harry Gregson-Williams theme on the sequel is cool too.

Anything that Nobua Umetsu or Yasunori Mitsuda did the music for - hence pretty much any Squaresoft game - Parasite Eve is also very memorable.

Quake2 had some very memorable pieces of music in it.

Old stuff... The most memorable of all is Elite. It's the Blue Danube waltz, and I must have listened to the 3-channel synth version of it so many times over while playing that game...

Jimi-Spandex

I'll have to second shinji on nobou uematsu Liberi Fatali (FF8 Theme) still haunts me

Deus Ex was good, Duke Nukem 3D also

Red Alert 2 - Hell March 2 0wnage

For cartoon

Transformers Movie Theme
Cowboy Bebop (Tank! rocks, Kanno is the **** )

Shinji

Kanno is the ****

Just don't tell her that. It doesn't translate well into Japanese

If we're going with the Kanno theme, everything she's done has really left an impact on me - Tank is fantastic, but he stuff she did on Escaflowne is also stunning. Not the intro theme, but the choral theme music within the series - shivers down the spine stuff...

GoneShootin

Nobua Umetsu or Yasunori Mitsuda did the music for



the mind, it boggles !!

Greenbean

Shadow of the beast2, especially the dead tune.

Xenon2

Mod plugin for winamp

DiscoStu

dragons breath on the atari st
hong kong streets in deus ex
and who can forget bubble bobble
most of final fantasy 7
medal of honor allied assault tis great sounds like band of brothers
guile's stage in street fighter 2

Shinji

the mind, it boggles !!

Oi

Those guys are among the most prolific and talented soundtrack composers out there right now - right up with Yoko Kanno, John Williams etc. I just happen to be a fan, okay?

GoneShootin

my mind was boggling because of your knowledge, not anything to do with any "WTF kinda weirdo is this guy"

pld, etc

DrunkLeprachaun

One Winged Angel from the last fight against sephiroth in FFVII and,
Liberi Fatali from the intro to FFVIII.
Excellent toonskis.

Damn straight.
That and Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries are the only tunes that go with Operation Flashpoint....well those and a load of Vietnam type tunes...and some of Amp's 'tumpin choonz' woulod go down well with the T-80 crews.....

Flashback had a few atmospheric tunes, Frontier was a gold mine
