(Ed Bellis) pretty cool, I love ASIAN SONGZ
(xp1337) DFO song that isn't Wind of You/Main Theme? Eh, whatever. (Hamelin's all right)
I seem to be the biggest (or maybe only?) supporter of music from DFO on the board, so needless to say I'm absolutely astounded that this came in third. However, nobody gave it below a 4. Maybe I shoudln't be surprised; it's a really good song. It's just one I didn't think was going to garner a great deal of support.
I've played a fair bit of DFO, but I haven't gotten far enough into the game to see the part where this is from. Actually, I've only gotten as far as the third main map area, come to think of it. Plus, the U.S. version of the game often lacks behind the Korean. For whatever it's worth, DFO just went up on Steam, so if anyone's playing it let me know and maybe I'll start up again.
2. Super Mario 64 - Dire, Dire Docks
Score: 28/30

I know many considered this the likely winner, and it just missed. The only difference between DDD and our #1 is that the lone person who did not give it a 5 assigned it a 3, whereas our #1 got a 4 besides it's Yahtzee of fives.
The song itself is quite possibly the greatest for a song on an N64 game. Nothing else comes to mind to rival it, at least, and the piece definitely adds to the magic of Mario 64. After finishing Bob-omb Battlefield and then a brief stay at another level, Jolly Roger Bay opens up. And while JRB is peaceful and tranquil, it's a water level. How often is a water level enjoyable? Like Fear Factory, this is a song that placated me while I got frustrated with the area it plays in. DDD also resurfaces later in the level for which it is named, which is another frustrating water level. Still, the song breaks free of being associated with annoying water stages and is simply plain good. It's funny how it can loop and just add a subdued drum track and add to the vibe of the song.
AND FINALLY, YOUR NUMBER ONE...

(xp1337) AMG, Crazy Bus so good!
(Ed Bellis) It's so bad it's awesome.
(Kenri) Listening to this is like being entranced by hypnotoad.
(TheArkOfTurus) Easily the best track in the whole list, perhaps anywhere.
(NioraptH) The random noises are so <3. First I was T_T, and then I went T___T, and finally T_______T
Ah, dear sweet Crazy Bus. It was so unfair putting this on the list, because seriously what else on the list was going to compete with it? Perhaps a horrible decision of mine since it would have been nice to see what B8 things when I already know exactly what they think about this piece. But I suppose we can just ignore this one and look at the next track down as the real #1.
So, er, speaknig of the real #1...
