#80. Hush
Artist: Kula Shaker
Nominated: ZeroSignal620 (April 2015)
Score: #91st [4/5]
Standard Rank: 40/49
Time: 2:54

I have no recollection of ever nominating this nor why I would. It's a good song and upbeat cover of Deep Purple's hit, but unless it was in a bunch of commercials or some television episode, the only place I can think of would be Kingsman: The Secret Service? Yeah, probably Kingsman. I need to watch that movie again; it was excellent. Sequel was disappointing, but I should try it again, and I never tried The Kingsman.

Note: 'Dragon Quest III has one of my favorite overworld themes, and the Fortune Street rendition is the only reason I can continue to play Ghost Ship's ****ty map. I prefer the NES chiptune to the SNES version as well.'

I've already stated my enjoyment of Fortune Street at #93, so let's talk Dragon Quest. DQIII was my first and favorite Dragon Quest game for forever. I spent countless hours running a loop on the first boss with his Goons trying to earn Gold Medals in the GBC version as I watched Starcraft matches in the early 2000s and Marvel vs Capcom 3 matches in 2010-11. I've beaten the game a few times and absolutely adore it. Dragon Quest XI is *chef's kiss* one of my favorites games and I am so proud to have completed it 100%. I really should go back and play again, even if I don't have whatever Definitive Edition S it is after the initial release. I played I, II, IV, V, and VI on my phone a few years back; played DQIX on my DS until I lost it with some other DS games; loved Dragon Quest Heroes and Dragon Quest Builders; and despite all that, still haven't tried Dragon Quest VIII! One day. Been wanting to play DQVI again. When I have the time.

#78. The Secret of the Forest
Game: Chrono Trigger
Nominated: Ed Bellis (September 2012)
Score: - [23/25]
Games Rank: 39/61
Time: 4:43 (Or halved; it plays twice I think)

Note: 'Beautiful and quiet.'

R.I.P. Akira Toriyama. A beautiful ethereal track with that high whistle that gets you in a proper somber mood, setting up an incredible game filled with even more amazing tracks. I dunno. Objectively, it should be higher, but subjectively... I like it but not overly much. It doesn't carry as much nostalgia as a lot of other games tracks to come (and a lot of games tracks already fallen).

#77. Military Facility Dungeon
Game: Skies of Arcadia
Nominated: tazzyboyishere (August 2012) & Ed Bellis (September 2012)
Score: - [2/10] & - [22/25]
Games Rank: 38/61
Time: 3:57
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9dObaks7mQ
Note: 'When I think Skies of Arcadia music, it almost always ends up as this one.'

I don't know if that's true these days. I always think about "Vyse's Theme" or "Kingdom of Ixa'taka" or the Battle themes. Am I certain I wasn't thinking of "Battle 1" when I wrote that and just used Military Facility Dungeon because I couldn't remember? It's an excellent track with great nostalgia, but it's nowhere near the top of songs I'd nominate from this amazing game. And my tazzy nominations for August are already down nine out of ten songs? I'd like to formally apologize for my past self. I nominated some really poor choices of video game music.

#76. The Painted Future Set Upon an Easel
Game: Wild Arms XF
Nominated: Ed Bellis (September 2012)
Score: - [21/25]
Games Rank: 37/61
Time: 3:18

Note: 'Just an amazing son to listen to again and again.'

I forget which VGMC I was big into the nominations & brackets for, but it was either 3, 4, or 5. This and another on the list I only knew from VGMC, and I really liked them. This is a nice brassy song, but I have almost zero recollection of it, and nostalgia trumps a lot with this list.
