Topic | I rank 300 VGM (2024 edition) [ranking] |
rwlh 03/10/24 11:30:41 AM #254: | Posting today's second five early today since I figure a lot of people will be busy with the VGMC preview list on Discord. - 155/3629 @TunnelScene Silent Dragon - Last Stage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9E7cj7HUFA Here we have the first song of the ranking that Ive actively returned to a few times. Theres something infectiously catchy about Last Stage. Part of it is the Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! sure, but its also this interesting amalgamation of sounds that you wouldnt think go together. Like theres strings but also a heavy dance beat vibe, and big arcade sound hits that add flavor. Its pretty great! 154/3623 KecleonFan352 Godzilla: Monster of Monsters - Main Theme/Planet X https://youtu.be/4F7MnU2ZIc8 Another unrelated Godzilla songor so I thought. It seems the FNF songs are based on some sort of creepypasta for this game? I dunno. Im just here for the catchy NES song. For as much as I said I liked chiptunes, Im surprised not many of you opted for giving me, like, NES songs. The NES soundchip is great! This Godzilla song uses it well, with a great melody that can hang with some of the best in the library. 153/3601 @Anagram Your Turn to Die - Clown's Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RycfPDf4_Qc Did I say that I like spooky circus music? If I didnt, then you got very lucky with this one, because I absolutely love spooky circus music. To be fair this doesnt have much of a circus vibe, but I can hear it being the theme of a character calling themselves a clown. Like the prior YTTD song, this song does a wonderful job establishing a mood right out of the gate in such a short time. 152/3581 bea Batman (Gameboy) - Chemical Factory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3A2j7CTLvY Another OG chiptune. This one doesnt have as memorable a melody as the NES Godzilla one (see #154), but it makes up for it with that Sunsoft bass. While not as prominent on a Game Boy, Sunsofts NES games were renowned for their special soundchip wizardry. Chemical Factory is a great example of a song that wouldnt be as effective on another platform, with another soundchip. 151/3575 @andylt Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Final Phase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2uISr_5J7k Danganronpa ass shit, thanks Takada. This is likesad final boss music? I dont really know how else to put it. The brief pause before it resumes is followed by very plaintive choir samples (that sound suspiciously like child vocals!). Its a weird song to place tonally, but I like it; I like when songs can simultaneously exist at the ends of two poles like Final Phase does. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
