140.Under the Apple Tree (Crisis Core) Appeared in: VGMC3
A kinda repetitive but still great song with some awesome acoustic guitar.
139.Sacrifice Part III (Seiken Densetsu)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 2
A final battle theme that is looonng but great all the way through.
138.Dark Cloud Main Theme
Appeared in: VGMC3, 4, ToC ( lost to Theme of the Last time Travel)
A song I used to like way more. I’m a little tired of it but I still think it’s pretty great stuff.
137.Byakuya Gentou (pop'n music 18)
Appeared in: VGMC5
A pretty damn great rhythm song. The catchiness level is off the charts.
136.Freedom (Mega Turrican)
Appeared in: VGMC3
A great ending song that sounds kinda inspirational or something.
135.Rave On (Killer7)
Appeared in: VGMC5
A super catchy ‘rave’ song.
134.Assault of the White Dragon (Final Fantasy IX)
Appeared in: VGMC2
One of my favorite FF9 songs and one of my favorite FF songs period. Such a great battle theme with awesome pacing and instrumentation.
133.Liberation of Gracemeria (Ace Combat 6)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 3,ToC (lost to Scars of Time)
Another song that I think has a bad case of needlessly logn build-up, but in this case since the majority of the stuff is AWESOME anyway the build-up is mostly forgiven.
132.Final Destination (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
Appeared in: VGMC2
Always been one of my favorite Brawl songs. Intense and awesome the whole way through,
Also every time I hear this song I can’t unheard/unremember the first 15 seconds of this amazing video that was created a little before the US version was release
(also the last 10 seconds)
131.Reason to be I (Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo)
Appeared in: VGMC4
I’m kinda sad this song seems to be forgotten from VGMC4 and GamingForce2011. A ridiculously inspiriational track so inspiration that it was literally THE inspiration for me to start reading the visual novel. Now Sharin no Kuni is (now possibly) my favorite visual novel. The parts where it plays in ‘game’are great as well.
130.Potential for Anything (VVVVVV)
Appeared in: VGMC5
Barely beats Positive Force for favorite VVVVVV song that’s gotten in a contest but it’s close.

Appeared in: VGMC3, 4 ToC(lost to Into the Wilderness)
Another song I used to like way more, but think is still pretty great. Love the instrumentation here.
128.The Original (Guilty Gear X)
Appeared in: VGMC3
FFFFYEAH one of my favorite vgsongs ever, period.
127.Time Circuits (Chrono Trigger)
Appeared in: VGMC3, ToC (lost to Second Tower)
Many people’s favorite Chrono Trigger song for a good reason. A chill song with a great melody and instrument. Yasunori Mitsuda wins yet again.
126.Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix)
Appeared in: VGMC2
Seriously why couldn’t this song have been in the original or Final Mix being released in the states. I love the heck out of this song, and is possibly my favorite Shimomura song.
I know there’s a Birth By Sleep version but that version is ‘ok’ compared to this. Love the violin and the intense feeling without being too over the top like many Shimomura songs tend to do.
125.Hills of Radiant Wind (Nier)
Appeared in: VGMC5
More great Nier music with the cool vocalz.
124.Bubble Man (Mega Man 2)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 3, 4
Another fan favorite that deserves a lot of its praise.
123.X vs. Zero (Mega Man X5)
Appeared in: VGMC3, ToC (lost to Dreams of the Shore)
An amazing rockin’ song that I once again don’t like as much as I used to but is still one of the best Mega Man (X) songs out there.
122.Staff Roll (Mario Kart 64)
Appeared in: VGMC4, 5
ZenofThunder was spreading bull**** about Neon Mines being better than this.
Anyway one of the most heartwarming songs I know. Can’t believe I forgot all about this song for the longest time despite playing Mario Kart 64 so much in the past.
121.At Toyotsu-Chou Suita City (King of Fighters: Maximum Impact)
Appeared in: VGMC4
My favorite King of Fighters song that has made a contest. The mix of piano, synth and guitars is just astounding.

Oh, Reason to Be was in VGMC? I guess it didn't stick since I hadn't played Sharin no Kuni then.

"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero." -Vaarsuvius, Order of the Stick
Appeared in: VGMC5 I’m sad it took this song so long to get noticed in VGMC. Even sadder is that it got destroyed in R1 =(.
Oh well it’s one of my favorite robot master themes ever, so catchy.
119.Main Theme (Myst IV)
Appeared in: VGMC3
Another song that seems to be mostly be forgotten which is a shame because I love this song (obviously). The hymn vocals and amazing beat are indescribably awesome. I kinda wish the song wasn’t as slow in the middle which is the only flaw I’d give the song.
118.Odin Sphere's Theme (Shanachie Ver.)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 5
One of the most ‘beautiful’ vocal songs I’ve heard in a game, and I rarely use the word beautiful. One half vocals, one half vocals both great stuff. I guess I slightly prefer the vocal part.
117.Dreams of Cobalt (Fittest)
Appeared in: VGMC5
An awesome song with AWESOME BEATS AND BASS.
116.Ratchet & Courtney Battle (Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal)
Appeared in: VGMC4, ToC(lost to dreamenddischarger)
A ridiculously catchy song that inspired me to get Up Your Arsenal though I haven’t played too much of that yet.
115.The Moon (Duck Tales)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 2, 3, 5
A super popular chiptune for good reason, catchy happy and upbeat, great things to have in a chiptune.
114.Go Straight (Streets of Rage 2)
Appeared in: VGMC3
Funny how better instrumentation and BEATZ can make a whatever song really great and catchy. Too bad it (apparently) only exists in a sound test in the game.
113.Tearing up Spacetime (Acid Tetris)
Appeared in: VGMC2
Another ridiculously catchy song.
112.Shin Onigashima (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
Appeared in: VGMC2, ToC(Dreams of the Shore)
A rockin’ song that I’ve always really liked. Like this style much more than your Guilty Gear/Blazblue song.
111.Kimera II (G-Darius)
Appeared in: VGMC3, 4, ToC(MGS3 Theme)
I do agree that this song is kinda underrated. A great intense song with a lot of stuff goin on.
RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
110.Seymour Battle (Final Fantasy X)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 3, 4
Might possibly be my favorite FFX song. A great boss battle tune that is really great all the way though.

One of the songs I’ve always really liked from DKC1. Starts out a calm and mellow and then goes WILD AND CRAZY and is just awesome.
108.Bloody Tears (Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 3
As of now, my favorite version of BOODY TEARS. Love in the instrumentation and ROCKIN style.
107.Mother 2 (Super Smash Bros. Melee)
Appeared in: VGMC5
Vastly superior to the song that usually plays on Onnett. I always try to hold L and R when choosing the stage. Remember how like 300 writeups ago I said how Pollyana had potential and just needed better instrumentation, length and pacing? Lo and behold.
106.Kaine/Escape (Nier)
Appeared in: VGMC5 More great Nier stuff. Cool vocals and great instrumentation.
105.DORCHADAS (Shikkoku no Sharnoth)
Appeared in: VGMC4, 5
A really great vocal song that I’m surprised is actually becoming a big hit in VGMC. Rita has a great voice and this song has some unique/awesome instrumentation.
104.Theme of Simon (Super Castlevania IV)
Appeared in: VGMC4, 5
My favorite Super Castlevania IV track easily. Does a lot of things and has a great melody.
103.Credits (Perfect Dark)
Appeared in: VGMC4
Probably the most rockin’ awesome credits theme I’ve heard. Another song that inspiried me to buy the game but once again I haven’t played much of it yet. Lol.
102.Silent Hill (Silent Hill)
Appeared in: VGMC1
A ridiculously creepy, haunting song that I LOOOOOOVEEEE.
101.Ni Miedo (Granado Espada)
Appeared in: VGMC5
A really nice chill and relaxing song with some cool beats and guitar to make the song even better.

From: SuperAngelo128 | Posted: 7/27/2011 2:27:01 AM | #309 I will be unable to update this list for 2 weeks due to going on vacation in the Philippines
EXEC_SPHILIA also too low but there's still some AT stuff left to go so I'll let that one slide.

Unfortunate. I finally read the whole thread, he's moving fast, and then *boom* gone.
I'm a sad panda.
Do we have any real idea what the top 100 are? Obviously we can determine that by elimination, but throwing us a list might have been nice. At the very least, how many of the 60 ToC songs have been mentioned so far? The whole thing is up on the wiki so I guess I can do a ctl-F on songs I'm interested in to see if they're there...
Remaining from VGM5 (and still alive)...or were misspelled on the wiki: Suicide Mission The End of the Night A Certain Dragon's Love Song Zero-Two La Mer Emil/Karma world eyes Halo 2 Theme - Mjolnir Mix Descend The Battle for Everyone's Souls Boomer Kuwanger Someone is Always Moving Nagisa / Farewell at the Foot of a Hill Dogs of War Mortal Stampede Zoo Monty on the Run Smiles and Tears Hollow Bastion

Easily the best Western RPG song I can think of. An awesome song with great build-up. I wish this song the best of luck in VGMC5.
99.Title (Solstice)
Appeared in: VGMC2, 3
A chiptune that starts of kinda soft then literally explodes with greatness.
98.Sunset Heroes (God Hand)
Appeared in: VGMC5
Quite possibly one of the manliest songs ever. A ridiculously energetic and over the top song that I’m surprised took so long to get into a VGMC (and ended up losing early though).
97.Me and My Little War (Elebits)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 4
A really nice calming song that yes indeed sounds like an inverted J-E-N-O-V-A except much better.
96.The Second Tower (Ar Tonelico II)
Appeared in: VGMC2, ToC (lost to Dreams of the Shore Bordering Another World)
Oh ya AT music, wish I was around for VGMC2, when the songs were really big. Anyway, love love love in the instrumentation and of course the song’s melody is great as well.
95.Vendetta Preps (Bully)
Appeared in: VGMC1
More music “rip-offs”, this time one based on Michael Jackson and his FUNKY BEATS.
94.Battle of the Holy (Castlevania: The Adventure GB)
Appeared in: VGMC5
One of the greatest Castlevania songs, a true chiptune classic.
93.Theme of She-Hulk (Marvel vs. Capcom 3)
Appeared in: VGMC5
Easily the best Marvel vs. Capcom 3 song Ive’ heard. Very catchy/awesome stuff.
92.Reflection into the EDEN (beatmania IIDX whatevs)
Appeared in: VGMC3
Nekomata Master is somehow also make calm songs almost as awesome as his really energetic ones. Props to him.
91.mortal stampede (Umineko no Naku Koro ni 4: Alliance of the Golden Witch)
Appeared in: VGMC5
One of dai’s all-time greats which says A LOT. Another super energetic with some really cool brass in there.

I don't understand the love towards Suicide Mission. It's just an average orchestrated composition. It does really nothing to stand among the crowd and it's very forgettable. Unless it works well in context, it's just meh.
