Alright, so I did this last year when there were more of these '100 VGM ranking' topics going on and discovered some great new video game tunes/remixes in the process (plus making lists of this sort is fun). Mega Mana has one going on right now, in the ranking stage (a mix of VGM & non-VGM): http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/62509515 - but that's about it, so I figured it'd be a good time to start the noms topic. Plus I actually have a good deal of free time for the next month - woohoo.
Rules: - 5 VGMs max per user - Up to 2 songs per user can be remixes - Please supply the link - No alts/flaming/scramping/etc
Last year I think I jumped the gun a little bit in posting the rankings when I should have taken more time to revise the list, so this time around I'll be listening to each song at least three times. Consequently there will probably be a longer waiting time between the nominations being locked and the ranking topic, but it WILL be finished - ya know, barring like my death or a massive global disaster or something.
...I really need to try and remember what I nominated last time so I don't (intentionally, at least) re-nom anything.
Think it was something like: SPHILIA, Godsibb, Song of the Ancients / Fate, Here I Come, and uh... I'm not sure. I know I practically always nom the first two in topics like this, but after that I kind of jump around.

Well, I'll give it a shot by guessing. If by some chance you do recall what I nominated/something here is something from the last topic, let me know and I can make a change. No real point in me causing repeats!
Ar tonelico III: Knell of Ar Ciel - EXEC_Z/.
Shikkoku no Sharnoth - DORCHADAS
Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica - Rustling Throb ~Cloche~
Neotokyo - Scrap I/O
.hack//G.U. Vol 1//Rebirth - Location of Power

Sigma Harmonics - Hope Given "Dance of the Dog's Howl"
Spyro: Year of the Dragon - Fireworks Factory
Note: That version of Jeanne-Leanne is from the OST, but the ingame version sounds different and is, IMO, superior. It also does not seem to exist on the internet. I figured that with the remix rule, that could still be nominated.
Hope you enjoy at least some of them~

Yeah, it's unfortunate that both A) My laptop at the time when I made last year's list is kaput and B) My iPod, which had all 100 songs on it, was lost/stolen. and I guess C) There's no reliable gamefaqs forum archive that I know of. So I have no way of checking last year's list. The only one that looks familiar is "EXEC_Z", but I'm pretty sure I'm remembering seeing "EXEC_SPHILIA"...and upon listening to EXEC_Z it does not sound familiar. I listened to the other 4 noms and they don't sound familiar either. Also, I re-listened to SPHILIA and it is still awesome.

Correct. Also, feel free to replace it with the in-game version before nominations are closed, if you find it somewhere.
Ytterbium_70 posted... If it counts:
The Impossible Game - The Impossible Game Theme
If not, then I have a replacement, being the very last song.
Was that song created specifically for the game? If so, then it counts.
Ed Bellis posted... Been listening randomly to some SupraDarky stuff, so that's where the first two are from. The emphasis is on diverse and potentially new songs for you, which is the approach I normally take.
Nice, I'm a SupraDarky subscriber and I think his VGM tastes overlap with mine quite a bit, so that's a good sign!

Ah, that's terrible. Sorry.

Oh, SPHILIA definitely was on the last list. SPHILIA is pretty much my favorite VGMusic (although Godsibb is in a virtual tie with it) so I'm pretty much a lock to nominate those two in any topic like this. It's after those two where I can't be sure what I nominated. I think in that last run of ranking topics my general format was something like: SPHILIA, Godsibb, SotA / Fate, [Some .hack//G.U. Song], [Random].
It's those last two I was unsure about what I may have nominated for, because I know I've used different songs in those slots across a lot of the ranking topics that appeared so I have no idea what I picked in any specific ranking topic.
Also, I re-listened to SPHILIA and it is still awesome.
Yes, yes it is! =)

I've been looking for it ever since I played Jeanne d'Arc, which was years ago, so I highly doubt I'll get so fortunate as to suddenly find it. I will replace it if a miracle occurs though.

Indeed; good thing I had a replacement just in case.
Ah, I shall take the replacement then. I probably should have specified that in the rules, but that's mostly for songs in Guitar Hero or DDR that are licensed, otherwise it's more of a grey area. Also, it's awesome that SupraDarky wrote some music for the game.
EDIT - I just remembered I hand-wrote the list so I could jot down notes while listening to the songs in the car, lol. Pen and paper can still serve a purpose! Unfortunately I wrote down just partial titles and not the user. You think any of these might have been you: Xi-ON Emotional Skyscraper, Ar Tonelico - Melody of Elemia, Grandia II - FIGHT, G-Darius - Kimera II, something from Tales of Eternia? Either way, I don't see any of your new noms on here.
Didn't see this until now.
Kimera II definitely could have been (probably was) me. The Ar tonelico one could have been me, but personally I doubt it was.
With Kimera II there, I'm thinking it was probably a line-up like:
SPHILIA, Godsibb, Song of the Ancients / Fate, Here I Come (or Full Force), and Kimera II.

I tried picking two of my favorite OCRemixes (though it's too difficult to pick only two), but I'll tell you right now my VGM choices are not my favorites....though I do enjoy them.....

I guess I ought to tell (or remind) you that this song is apparently a remix and was actually never used in the game (for some bizarre reason). If that disqualifies it, I'll find a replacement. But it was made for the game (the original, I mean).
