Oh, I think you misunderstand me. I took my HE cleric to Blackburrow at like level 8 and hung out there until I was a level for going into HHP. I might have spent some time in Oasis in-between, since that's what my druid did, but I doubt it.
Anyway, I should probably continue...

(TheArkOfTurus) Could have sworn I heard this song before Left 4 Dead was a thing.
(Ed Bellis) wow this is bad, I couldn't even finish it
(xp1337) Oh, good, I can rant again. I mean that sincerely because it will give me something to do during the duration of the song. Speaking of things I don't "get" - this "genre" of music. By which I mean these songs that just make blatant attempts at humor. Still Alive, Want You Gone, this, etc. At worst I just think they're bad on top of trying way too hard. At best, I think they're okay almost entirely in spite of what it's trying to do (Read: everything except the lyrics are good.) Take this, this song does a number of things I really like, but the vocals/lyrics just start driving it into the ground. And I feel like the rest of the song starts suffering in an attempt to accommodate for it and augh.
xp is right about one thing. The musicality of the song actually isn't that bad. However, I don't get quite as down on the song about the lyrics as he does. I think it's certainly a better effort than Still Alive or Want You Gone, even without an iconic character singing it. There's something to be said for a bunch of zombies going "c'mon, it's not like we're gonna eat your eyes."

(Kenri) I would like this song so much more if not for that knocking sound. I don't even know what that's supposed to be, but it doesn't work on any level. Other than that, Scrap Brain Zone is one of the better songs from Sonic 1, probably only behind Marble Zone.
(Ytterbium_70) Come to think of it, anyone l istening to this song has their brain become scrap...
That "knocking sound," aka a really bad concert bass sample, is definitely the weak point of the song. It at least fits the song during the front half, but during the second strain, it just gets applied liberally and detracts from the song considerably. If the rest of the tune weren't good, I'd probably dismiss this one as poorly done, but it is, so it's not.
67. River City Ransom - Boss Battle

(Ytterbium_70) 1.5 - All Boss Battle manages to do is annoy me. At least its soundfont isn't godawful.
(Natwaf_akidna) Coin flip between this and number # 3, really, but the opening gives it the edge.
(Kenri) Boss Theme is just... bad.
I blame Brentalfloss. I had never heard this song before listening to his videos. Well, actually, I guess technically I had since I've played RCR, but I don't even remember there being any boss battles. Anyway, it rocks pretty hard for an NES tune, but that really isn't saying much.
