I've been saying I'll do another one of these for a while now, so without further ado, here it is! Since my previous ranking (all the way back in 2019
wow
) I've taken notice of several new users in our VGM community, so I am excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I will aim for even more songs this time around, but I will also try and get this done in a more expeditious manner than the last one. (This is partly the reason why I'm going back to VGM-only for this ranking. I feel I can get more write-ups in quicker with this more narrow focus, as noted by how it took well over a year for my second ranking as opposed to just a few months for my first
*sorry everyone*
)
Whether you've posted in my ranking projects before, or are new here, welcome aboard! Feel free to post whatever you like (*see rules), or try to reach the top of the rankings. I just want some music to listen to.
Rules are mostly the same as before
-
5 nominations per user
-
VGMC rules for song eligibility (though I'll be pretty lenient here, I'll allow songs from soundtracks releases and other official albums)
-
Max 2 songs per game
-
Songs from either of my previous ranking topics or my favorite VGM list (to encourage fair play and new discoveries) are ineligible
-
Game Title, Song Title, and URL are needed
-
YouTube is preferred, I'll also accept Bandcamp or Soundcloud links. No Spotify because I live under a rock and don't have a Spotify.
-
If you want a good idea of my tastes, I am posting the results of my first two user-nominated rankings below, as well as a Top 100 personal favorite VGM list I quickly compiled back in May 2022. Keep in mind that the second ranking wasn't limited to VGM, but there's still a sizable amount in there.
-
No nominating music from those lists
