It's only 100 if you count the songs that make me hate life.

Oh, well then I will naturally assume that you want five more!

Timesplitters 2 - Astrolander


Elliott Smith - Bottle Up and Explode


Portal 2 - Want You Gone


Hot Freaks - Her Smile in Every Summer [Wind Waker - Outset Island]


Tally Hall - Welcome to Tally Hall


That's as close as I can possibly get to splitting it 50/50

Bump.

Let's get things started then, shall we? I'll probably end up doing about five to ten a day unless I get extremely motivated to swiftly finish the list. Also, don't expect an update Friday since I'll be working the entire day.

100. Song: Piece of the Pi
Artist: Jordan Rudess
Link:
Nominated by MycroProcessor
- This just gets progressively worse and worse and worse the more times I listen to it.

99. Song: Mr. L's Theme
Game: Super Paper Mario
Link:
Nominated by TheCodeIsBosco
- There is nothing remotely good about this song. Well, except that the last minute-and-a-half of the link was just dead silence.

98. Song: Separation Anxiety Genesis Theme
Game: Spider-Man & Venom Separation Anxiety
Link:
Nominated by 20three
- Augh. And I thought my nostalgic game tunes turn some people off. Or maybe you're just throwing in a bad song for some reason. This was terrible to listen to. I'm sorry if you enjoy it or it was part of your childhood, but it would've caused me to turn off the game immediately hearing this at the beginning. Yet... still better than SNES theme after listening to that. So much better.

97. Song: N's Castle
Game: Pokemon Black/White
Link:
Nominated by todbot1
- What was this? Why? Why would someone do this?

96. Song: Maximum Shake Special Remix (With Title Call)
Game: The King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A
Link:
Nominated by NioraptH
- Gaaaaah.

95. Song: I Wish
Artist: Ai Mieda
Link:
Nominated by Raka_Putra
- Not Brave Heart? Not Butter-Fly? Biggest Dreamer? I really don't like the singer of the song. This song just isn't pleasant to listen to. I can say that Butter-fly would place high, Biggest Dreamer fairly high, and Brave Heart high-end middle based on what I've listened to thus far. Hell, based on where I was first listening to this, Butter-Fly could be #1. Onnnnn myyyy looove

94. Song: Deathmatch
Game: Quake 3 Arena
Link:
Nominated by Ace_Killjoy
- A jangled mess that is still somehow coherent. Didn't enjoy listening to it on its own, but I can definitely feel how awesome it is in the background blasting people away. Just not for me though. Not at all.

93. Song: Haitian Divorce
Artist: Steely Dan
Link:
Nominated by TheCodeIsBosco
- I have no hesitation, no hearts breaking, and no remorse for putting this so low.

92. Song: Spyro the Dragon Opening Theme
Game: Spyro the Dragon
Link:
Nominated by ZaziGuado
- The most interesting thing about this song was when it abruptly ended at 2:53. It's not to say it was terrible. It was just dull throughout.

91. Song: Ladi Dadi (Tommy Trash Remix)
Artist: Steve Aoki feat. Wynter Gordon
Link:
Nominated by thundersheep
- Not at all a fan. My finger hovers over the Close Window button for the first minute, and I'm still ready to just escape the rest of the song. Especially during youyouyouyouyouyouyouyouyouyouyou, though I like how it seems to turn into getoutgetoutgetoutgetout after about ten seconds. But really, the song is more annoying than anything. Unless I were clubbing. Actually, even then...

It's one of those questions that's so fascinating that you don't even want to ever find the answer because then all the mysticism would vanish.

There are definitely parts of it I enjoy. Every time I start it, the first minute or so makes me wonder why I have it so low and that I should give it a fairer chance. And then **** hits the fan.

Actually, it's a lot better than I remember listening to it now. And I had already bumped it up from the bottom five. Maybe I was too hasty with this last batch. Well, just Ladi Dadi. Those other four definitely remain where they are. Maybe it's a case of the song getting better on repeated listens? This must be my fourth or fifth time now.

Man, you're terrible for my already giant ego. No joke, I would have bet money on you liking it more on a second listen. It's often the case with me for electronic music, and as a DJ I spend A LOT of time listening to music over and over again trying to find out why something is good, and which parts I should highlight. I know there are certain elements of electro that can be annoying, but there is definitely something melodic (and I just love the vocals) in that song that kept me coming back to it.

Definitely curious to see what you have to say about the rest, as I find trance takes a little more.... patience, to enjoy.

It's definitely why I'm trying to take my time with posting. What time I spent on this this evening was trying to arrange the middle section of the list because there are a lot of songs there that are faring much worse on second and third listens than initial impressions. There will probably be some stuff falling as much as forty spots from original placements.

I was about to say that Ladi Dadi actually surrounded alright, but then it started doing those void reverse bass things they love in dubstep that f-- with my ears so much.

Oh hey! Stuff's happening!

If you think that was a "jangled mess," don't listen to the songs Sonic Mayhem made for the game.

Nominated by Ytterbium_70
- Very happy it was so short because I wasn't enjoying this at all.
- Yup, still not enjoying this at all, even with the different mix. So I'm just combining the two because, mehhhhhh.

89. Song: Nico Tale?!
Artist: Mahi
Links:

Nominated by Natwaf_akidna
- Boring, then screechy, more boring until part two. Part two starts off wonderfully, but dips in and out of being decent and being annoying the entire way. It just doesn't flow. It'll be annoying, pause, quiet, pause, LOUD AND HORRIFIC, blend into annoying, pause, serene, pause for part two, decency, great ending.

88. Song: Dance Yrself Clean
Artist: LCD Soundsystem
Link:
Nominated by ZaziGuado
- It was decent. I wouldn't choose to listen to it again, but I didn't really hate it.

87. Song: Symphony #5 Movement 4
Artist: Dmitri Shostakovich
Link:
Nominated by azuarc
- Beautiful and long, but not my thing. Way too quiet in the middle. Beginning and end are great, but for about seven minutes, I completely forget I'm listening to anything.

86. Song: Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits
Artist: Magnetic Fields
Dead Link:

- Funny lyrics, mediocre song. The song is definitely memorable, but it doesn't hold up actually listening to it.

#85. Song: Ruins of Silence
Game: Baldr Sky
Link:
Nominated by JustinCrossing
- It was smooth, but there was nothing interesting about it.

#84. Song: More Reprimand
Artist: Klaus Bedalt
Link:
Nominated by Ace_Killjoy
- Wow, that ended quickly. It felt like it would be building up to something, but it just ended. I'm a little disappointed. It was decent. I liked the build up. There was a nice mix of fantasy and futuristic in there. It's just really short with the climax only being about ten seconds long. But without anything else, it's just really boring.

#83. Song: Cerberus
Game: Mass Effect 3
Link:
Nominated by Murphiroth
- I liked it alright, but it was nothing special.

#82. Song: Surf City
Artist: Jan & Dean
Link:
Nominated by 20three
- Whoa, this isn't the Beach Boys? I've thought it was by them for forever now. My mind is blown. Song almost assuredly gets points for nostalgia alone. Oldies 103.3 WODS was all I listened to growing up, and this came up all the time. Nostalgia can't save it though because this song is just so monotone.

#81. Song: The Great Giana Sisters Main Theme
Game: The Great Giana Sisters
Artist: Chris Hulsbeck
Link:
Nominated by tazzyboyishere
- It has some decent moments but is overall a disappointing listening experience.

#80. Song: A New Light ~ Message in a Bottle
Artist: Mother
Link:
Nominated by todbot1
- "La la freaking la." Wow, I was in such a bad mood first hearing this. It's still nothing memorable, though it does have a nice story.

#79. Song: Track 3
Game: Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge
Link:
Nominated by azuarc
- Too much twang.

#78. Song: Queen in the Dark Night
Game: Rusty
Link:
Nominated by FL81
- Nothing to say. It was alright.

#77. Song: One Eternal Dream
Artist: ShadeLevora
Link:
Nominated by todbot1
- I hate how picky I am. Here I am just wishing for something with lyrics in my non-vgm links when two days ago I wondering where all the beautiful melodies were when it was just a piano and someone singing? This is lovely, but this is the fourth in a row with very nice, beautiful, sweepi- hold on, what just happened? Ooh, this just took a nice turn. It became a bit harried. I like that. Wasn't as strong as I hoped when it hit though. Still a cool song.

#76. Song: Voices of Authority
Artist: Christopher Franke
Link:
Nominated by azuarc
- It's pleasant to listen to. Even if the pleasantness lasts eleven minutes.

Forgot to mention that Surf City was moved about 40 spots itself. Had it extremely high on first listen due completely to nostalgia, but every subsequent listen was almost painful because it just wasn't good.

"Surf City, here we come," sounds like the most phoned in anything ever.

These middle ones are getting tough. There are a few that seem a lot better than their placement and I'm looking to move them up. They're better than some ones further up the list, but said songs are better than those immediately before them in line, and those are better than the ones looking to move up. a > b > c > a.

Guess it's just a matter of what I ranked too high.

There may be a bit of a delay in rankings for the time being. Said a > b > c > a cluster**** has led me to redoing two separate chunks. I've got a lower 29 to listen to and rank anew, which will be a 30 after I rank another, higher chunk of thirty. Between plans later tonight and work all this weekend, I may not have anything new before Sunday/Monday. I will say I'm very into this at the moment and won't be venturing off to play Xenoblade for sixteen hours at a time.

It'll be a miracle if the next five are posted tonight.

I mostly like More Reprimand for the first half, then it goes off and uses another sequence that's more common in other tracks of the soundtrack. Honestly, I wish the whole song went along the lines of the first half.
Figured I'd give it a go, anyway.

(I'm going to laugh if my next submission gets 74th.)
