top 30 songs from games, one per game [OBSOLETE]
ranking 30 songs from games, each being the sole representative of its game and my favorite from its particular soundtrack. NOT ranking their entire soundtracks against each other (some games with fantastic soundtracks on the whole wont be on here), just individual songs across different games. definitely not 100% definitive and may be forgetting some great ones
EDIT: made a new list of 50 songs here https://www.backloggd.com/u/ludzu/list/50-best-songs-from-games-ranked-new-and-improved

what can i say it somehow made me excited to return to that factory area in subsequent playthroughs!!!
Loving the idea of this list a lot and also these picks. Listened to a lot of good stuff as a result today, gotta make my own ^^
no i completely agree!!! its one of my faves on the ost as well, the production has a sort of Homogenic quality and I love when Okabe/Evans work in grooves rather than melody/anthem
also fully intend 2 steal this list idea
also fully intend 2 steal this list idea
dont mind if I steal this one
miller ball breakers, based.
steal away >:)
got confused as fuck for a sec cuz i thought the coil that did the gitaroo man song was like the gay english band coil
i was always mad at that band for stealing search results from the good coil whenever i tried to look them up back in the day
nah i can safely say that coil is good, assuming you're into dark and homoerotic industrial music
i should probably actually get over it amd try them then LOL
i feel almost ashamed that i hadn't heard blue until just now
tanigucci tha god
delete one bc u will need room to add a fsr track
i'm gonna be honest the only note i clicked on in the entire list here was JSR and you chose the best song in the OST. you're a champion among people
yeah i second FSR needing a slot
see i would LIKE to say "i am not going to torture myself by thinking about this any harder" but hearing the music in fsr's ds intro told me that i made this list too soon. ill think abt it...
I haven't played a lot of these games but it has Jet Set Radio and Doshin the Giant so this list is objectively good.
3 katamari games being on here checks out
the only list on this god forsaken site without a single lie
