I needed like 7 more songs and no one else was nominating stuff so I allowed 2 more noms for everyone so it was pretty much first come first serve at that point.

IT BEGINS
100. Castlevania: SotN - Death Ballad

Recommended by: ImTheMacheteGuy
This song actually gave me a headache. I generally enjoy Castlevania music but I didn't like it at all.

99. Darius - Chaos

Recommended by: MycroProcessor
Didn't really like it too much. I felt it was boring and in some parts even annoying. I could see how someone could like it, since it does give a good "space" feeling but it's just not my cup of tea.

98. Metroid Prime 3 - Rundas Battle Rock Remix (Remix)

Recommend by Ace_Killjoy
This song is jusa mess in my opinion. It goes from nothing really happening, to bad and poorly organized. It sounds very poorly done around 2:30 where it just simply sounds bad.

97.The Illusion of Gaia - Danger Abounds

Recommended by: X_Dante_X
This song is really boring and generic and I really just didn't like it. It didn't seem like much happened in this song at all. A lot worse then all the other Illusion of Gaia songs nominated.

96. Star Ocean 2 - Dynamite

Recommended by Haunter120
Honestly didn't really like this too much. It wasn't really too great, it seems almost a little bit jumbled even. It's really just "Meh" at best.

95. The Illusion of Gaia - The Ocean Palace of Mu

Recommended by: X_Dante_X

94. Umineko no Naku Koro Ni - Fishy Aroma (vocals)

Recommended by: Raka_Putra
Not too much going on for this song in my opinion. It had mediocre vocals and not very it was not very interesting.

93. No More Heroes 2 - Bizarre Jelly 5 Theme

Recommended by: Raka_Putra
I didn't feel like there is anything special about this song at all. I would assume the only real purpose of having this song in NMH2 is to show how much of an otaku Travis really is. But as far as this song goes, I feel it is just a "generic anime theme".

92. Iridion 3D - Planet Iridion Prime

Recommend by Ace_Killjoy
Decent song that in my opinion was annoying at some parts. Really though, I'm not sure what to think of this song. The first time I listened to it I thought it was pretty bad, but after a few listens it grew on me a bit. I'm gonna say it was just alright and that it would probably sound better not on a Gameboy. Somebody should remix this or something.

91.Jet Force Gemini: Asteroid
Recommended by: todbot1

It doesn't really feel like anything even happens in this song. It feels more like a bunch of sound effects more then like an actual song. The song actually did start to take off around 2 minutes but it didn't feel very special still. Though I do love Jet Force Gemini, I am not very fond of it's OST.

90. Suikoden V - Battle Theme

Recommended by: Raka_Putra
More like,"Generic" Battle theme. I wasn't too impressed with it, in fact it was pretty boring.

I think there's at least one remix on YouTube. I'd remix it myself if I could.
There's some good nostalgia in the song, at least for me. Glad you found it bearable.

89. The Illusion of Gaia - Sky Garden

Recommended by: X_Dante_X
Started off a little boring in the beginning, and I didn't feel like it had much progression and overall nothing much really happened in it. It wasn't really bad, I just felt it was really boring.

88.King of Fighters 97 - Rhythmic Hallucination (Orochi Team) (Arranged Version
Recomended by: TheKnightOfNee

Classic KOF Fighters theme. Despite that, I Wasn't too fond of it. Didn't really think the weird static worked for it static. Other then that it was a bit repetitive and kind of boring.

87.KOF Maximum Impact - At Toyotsu-Chou Suita City

JONALEON1
This song should have only been like 2 minutes long and not repeated over and over. I started off liking this song but it had trouble holding my attention after it started getting repetitive.

86. Saga Frontier - Last Battle ~ Emelia
Recommended by: MycroProcessor

This was also pretty boring. I did like the intro to the song, but after a minute, it didn't really feel like anything interesting or new had happened. Not exactly my cup of tea I guess.

85. Banjo Tooie: Mingy Jongo Boss Battle

Recommended by: todbot1
Eh, it was just okay and sounded like the a generic Rare boss theme. Out of all the music from the Banjo games why this one though? There is a lot of music from that series that is really unique and great, while song isn't really all that great.

Nah I already have everything ranked for the most part. As for Death Ballad, it didn't give me a head ache everytime that I listened to it, I just didn't really find it that pleasant of a song to be honest.

84. Mega Man II - Magnet Man
Recomended by: TheKnightofNee

When I first saw this I thought you mistyped and meant Mega Man III. Then I remembered there were Gameboy games! I think it's a pretty interesting theme, I just don't like how it sounds on the Gameboy. I would be interested to see how this would sound if it were remixed and not on a Gameboy where it sounds pretty bad.

83.Donkey Kong 64 - Aztec Boss

Recommended by: todbot1
Ah DK64, first off what an underrated game. Now for the song. It's alright I guess. Sounds like another "Rare Boss Theme".

82. Metroid Prime - Tallon Overworld (Theme 2)

Recommended by: MycroProcessor
Took a minute for this song to actually get anywhere. After that the song was really just kinda decent. While not very much happened, though I do think song is better in game where it is appropriate for the atmosphere of Tallon Overworld.

81. Majora's Mask: Majora's Wrath Boss Battle
Recommended by todbot1

This song legitimately scared me as a kid. Fun boss fight, but the music isn't really that great. There are better versions of the Majora's theme in that game in my opinion.

80. Nanostray - Ending
Recommend by Ace_Killjoy

So the original link was removed ) So if this isn't right let me know so I can re-rank it. The guitar in this wasn't very compelling. I did like how it changed up about halfway through the song though, though it could have had some kind of transition other then silence >.> . It also seemed like it ended pretty abruptly.

79.Civilization 3- Industrial Age Europe music

Recommended by: SubDeity
I felt the intro was just kinda boring, because it didn't really feel like much happened. I did like the array of instruments that the song has but I still really didn't feel it was very special.

Only two more for now but I'll rank more when I get back tonight

Huh... sorry about the link. (I tried looking it up again and it returned a bunch of download links with a Killzone picture. I don't get it.)

I listened to the link you provided. Yes, the first part is actually the song I nominated. But the second part is the "Game Over" music, so I would just ignore it.

Just a note: This song is actually a loop, so it's not the song's fault that it cuts off. Whoever uploaded it just didn't bother putting in a fade effect at the end. The lead in is fine, though.

No problem at all.

How many links have been removed so far?

Only 1 that I know of, but it's to an obscure game so I'm having trouble finding another link to it. I might get the game by "legal methods" and just get to the part where the song plays >.>
