Hello! So, I basically started making this list as a joke between friends. Then I accidentally started to get a little too into it, and then I started taking things a little too far, and then it kind of became a serious list that I set aside for a while. Now I'm coming back and actually doing it.

See, here's the thing. I am a crazy huge fan of the Mega Man series. Well, most of it. The classic series, anyway. And I'm a big fan of Mega Man's music! Well, most of it, anyway. It kind of sparked my love for video game music, and music as a whole, at a young age, and I've been sort of highkey obsessed with the franchise ever since and with trying to emulate its style in my own music. I've listened to a pretty high percentage of these songs on loop for no particular reason other than just because they got stuck in my head and I like to feed the earworms (and the brainworms). I can instantly recall nearly every track on this list at the snap of a finger, and even a split second of most of these tracks is identifiable to me. So, ever since someone (it was Anagram, thanks Anagram) asked me to rank the stage themes from this series, it was only natural that I would take it to its dumbest logical conclusion and rank every single one.

I sat on this list for a while and honestly probably spent way too much time thinking it through and sorting it. You'd be surprised at how many passes I made through this list - probably about three big ones, with a bunch of random little shuffling here and there, and while there's still certainly a great deal of arbitrariness baked into this list, I did actually think it through pretty carefully. This is an unreasonably well-curated list, in other words, so keep that in mind. Wasn't slapped together in a day.

This list is not some kind of objective ranking of quality by any means. How much I believe such a thing exists in music is up for debate, anyway. It's just a ranking of how much each song tickles my own personal eardrums in a way that I like for whatever stupid reason. And trust me, some of the reasons are stupid. It's totally, 100% subjective, unfiltered opinions coming out of my stupid brain. If I dislike something you like, don't worry too much about it - I'll get pretty harsh because that's fun for me, but if you like something I don't, that's awesome! By all means, find treasure in my trash, and call me out on it. I love this series - the nicest thing you could possibly do for me is to convince me to like something that I didn't like by helping me see it another way. On the other hand, if you don't like something that I do like, fuck you, you're wrong.

Is this list even vaguely interesting in any way? I don't know. But here it is.
