Board 8 > superangelo128 ranks ALL 900 VGMusic Contest songs with writeupz

(+) Yeah! (+)

I agree with "Otherworld" being low but I can't help but wonder if even I'd list it nearly that low.

"Dancing Mad" at 872? You should probably avoid dark alleys for a while, someone's going to rage!

Didn't you say the DK Rap wasn't actually a joke song and tried to make some weird postmodern commentary about it? If I'm right, please repeat this commentary immediately.

Yes, I did say something along the lines of that. It was part of an essay I did for a music history class. Unfortunately, that was done on my old laptop that busted this past August. However, I might still have a physical copy of it since I usually do keep essays that receive I receive As for or personally love

"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal
"Oh sure, walk to the sun"- Guybrush

Well, I agree with him that the last part is really the only great part of the song.

But it's not like the rest of the song is bad.

Gone Guru's not really a joke if you're a fan of rap/hip-hop. It actually seems pretty standard sans the lyrics maybe. >_>

Tag.

I'm enjoying this list so far. I'm sad "Danger" is so low despite understanding the criticisms and I'm still perplexed by the mass dislike "Escape From the City" and "Live and Learn" garner yet DK Rap's so well-taken. I doubt I ever will. To each his own. But I'm enjoying the list.

Looks like Ed’s” prediction” wasn’t TOO Far off.

871Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial (Touhou: EoSD)

Appeared in: VGMC5

Hooray more Touhou stuff… hmm actually why is this one so high? Probably because it’s only 1 minute and a half? Still.


870U.N. Owen Was Her? (Touhou: EoSD)
Appeared in: VGMC1, 2

The only time I was amused by this song was when I watched this one small part:


I don’t like the McRoll since you have to listen to the whole damn song twice.


868Shadow Queen Final (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Appeared in : VGMC3

Was not expecting wall of noise in a Mario game of all things but hey.


867Wilderness of Sadness (Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World)

Appeared in: VGMC3

The EPIC premiere of Motoi Sakruaba.

Pain certainly did not last an instant.


866Rigid Paradise (Ten Desires)

Appeared in: VGMC5

More.


865Doll Judgment (Touhou: PCB

Appeared in: VGMC3

Touhou


864Fate of Sixty Years (Touhou: PoFV)

Appeared in: VGMC5

oh ya.


863Kanto Champion Battle (Pokemon Black/White)

Appeared in: VGMC5

Oh man if I thought the Sonic Adventure 2 fans were angry enough. Just imagine how mad the Pokemon fans will be at this ranking.

Anyway, man this song might as well have been in a Touhou game. It would fit quite well.


862Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind (Touhou: UFO)

Appeared in: VGMC5

The trumpet in this song is particularly annoying.


861Wind God Girl (Touhou: PoFV)

Appeared in: VGMC1

Even mooorrreee


860Lady Tears 2 (Shadow Hearts 3)

Appeared in: VGMC2, 3


Oh whoops I lied. One more Shadow Hearts wall of noise song. Interestingly this makes all 3 games have at least one kind.

I guess the noise is a bit tolerable than the others I suppose.


859Symphonic Poem "Forbidden Prelude" (Drakengard 2

Appeared in: VGMC4

Time for KP (and a few others) to dislike me.

Anyway, the first 20 seconds don’t seem so bad then.. DUN DUN DUN DUN DUND DUN *screech* DUN DUN DUNDUDN AEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAHHHHH.

Anyway after these songs we should finally be reaching simply ‘lmao’ territory as opposed to the ****ING bad zone.

Also from post onward for a while a lot of the songs may seem like in a weird order but it was more like I decided to be more careless in rakning these songs since they're just in the ‘what ever’ category for the most part.

858.Exceeding Love (Suikoden III)

Appeared in: VGMC2, 4, 5

NYAHAHAEHJAHDAHNSVBABANAUAJSHDKSD

On a side note that animated video this song plays in is pretty cool.

857.Rebirth the Edge (Sengoku Rance)

Appeared in: VGMC4

A really boring/kinda annoying guitar wailing song that is very similar to many Guilty Gear/Blazblue songs.


856.Girl of Power (Border Down)

Appeared in: VGMC5

A boring song with kinda annoying samples


855.Planet X (Disgaea)

Appeared in: VGMC3

Ouch do these samples hurt to listen to.

854.Crowded Street Corner (Lunar: SSSC)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Hahaha who was that one guy who kept nominating all those Lunar songs

Anyway this song is a bit obnoxiously happy for no reason.


853.Impact's Theme (Mystical Ninja)

Appeared in: VGMC1

Hahahaha. What the heck is this song.

It sounds like one of those old cheesy anime OP songs.

852Last End (Zelda: Majora's Mask)

Appeared in: VGMC2, 5

I have never liked this song at all.

It really comes close to “Desert City 2” status except if it were much shorter and had sort of a creepiness vibe I guess.

851.White Tiger (Disgaea 2)

Appeared in: VGMC1

A kinda obnoxiousness generic J-rock in more ways than one.

850.Justice to Believe (ver Ground Zero) (Wild Arms 5)

Appeared in: VGMC2

A vocal song that’s not only generic but that woman just likes yelling.

Also goes on a bit long.

849.Forest Temple (Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

Appeared in: VGMC5

As LeonhartFour once said (I believe).

This barely qualifies as ‘music’.

848.Memory of Bandahm (Jewels of the Oracle)

Appeared in: VGMC3

so what happened again.



847.Esper Fight (Final Fantasy XII)

Appeared in: VGMC1

I have not heard one good song from Final Fantasy 12.

This is no exception.

A generic melody with annoying backing instrument and an unnecessary choir.


846.Cutting Edge of Notion (Star Ocean: Till the End of Time)

Appeared in: VGMC1, 2

The EPIC RETURN of Motoi Sakuraba.

Listening to this song is like getting AN “ATTACK” FROM BEHIND??!!


845.Cutting Edge Inc, Upper Floor (Zapper)

Appeared in: VGMC4
This song.. seriously does absolutely nothing to me at all.

It comes really close to just literal background music.


844.Innocent Sea (Seiken Densetsu III)

Appeared in: VGMC3

So forgettable that it’s forgettable.


843.Gorgeous My Stage (Mystical Ninja)

Appeared in: VGMC1

Another ‘amazing’ Mystical Ninja song.

Seriously what the heck is this.


842. Wild West (Timesplitters 2)

Appeared in: VGMC4, 5

Another song that suffers from being way too long and kinda annoying samples.

Not even the beginning whistling can save this song.


841.Ballad of the Wind Fish (Zelda: Link's Awakening)

Appeared in: VGMC1

Those samples hurt.

Also its pretty boring.

If anything, Angelo ranked it too high

It's just hard to imagine people saying, "Oh yeah, I enjoy listening to Forest Temple. Great song. I just really enjoy listening to the same two sounds repeat themselves over and over again."

Oh boy Leon, you would absolutely love Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon or Neroli. Some music just isn't supposed to be attention-getting - most is or tries to be, but ambient music is SUPPOSED to stick to the background. It's all about setting a mood instead of evoking feelings or making you think about how cool the melody is, and Forest Temple does its job nicely.

Anyway, lulz list so far. Trainwreck taggin'.

Placeholder anti-capslock sig.

It warms my heart to see touhou garbage so low! So much so that I am posting again. I mostly agree with your rankings with one or two exceptions that I will admit are acquired tastes.

High fives for all time.

garbage day

I don't have a problem with ambient music. I can say Forest Temple's "music" fits the atmosphere of the level.

Doesn't make it a good song. Or even close.

--
"I can set you free, mate."
"My freedom was forfeit long ago!"

I will admit that if you haven't played Ocarina of Time, it would be hard to like the song because that isn't its purpose. However, knowing where it comes from in-context can give you a much different perspective on it.

--
"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal

But it only being good in context won't get the song very far on rankings like these.

I know you didn't say it (or possibly mean it)

but a principle I have is to listen to a song without context because to me a song is only good to listen to on it's own merits not on when/where it plays in-game

840.Phase 1: Skeith (.hack//infection)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Another song that’s almost doesn’t even qualify as a song.


839.Techno (Lenny's Music Toons)

Appeared in: VGMC4

Another ‘hahaa what the heck is this song’.

838.Right Behind You (Team Fortress 2)

Appeared in: VGMC3

Hahaha this song did absolutely nothing.

Amazing.

837.Dead Man's Gun (Red Dead Redemption)

Appeared in: VGMC5

Is there something I’m missing about this?

This is one of the most boring vocal songs I’ve heard before.

836.The Divine Spirit of Language (Star Ocean: Till the End of Time)

Appeared in: VGMC2, 3

Motoi Sakuraba part 3. Ya know you love ‘im.

Anyway Sakuraba and heavy guitar… mixing those two together probably isn’t a good idea.

They’ll send you to your grave.

835.BLADE ARTS III (Full Metal Daemon Muramasa)

Appeared in: VGMC5

Another song where its samples hurt quite a bit.

It’s not as bad as other stuff below it I GUESS.


834.1000 Words (Final Fantasy X-2)

Appeared in: VGMC1

What a verrrryyy saaddd soong..

That I don’t give two ****s about.


833.Fierce Battle (Metal Slug 5)

Appeared in: VGMC3

A very non-melodic guitar song.

Hooray.

832.Leaving the Body (Chrono Cross)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Chrono Cross OST. Full of boring songs and a not too many gems.

Fantastic soundtrack indeed.


831.Banson's Aria (Henry Hatsworth)

Appeared in: VGMC4

Another song where I’m simply like “what the hell is this”.


830.Arthas My Son (World of Warcraft)

Appeared in: VGMC3

Arthas, my son, you indirectly create boring songs just like the majority of the World of Warcraft OST.

829.Blackburn (Killer7)

Appeared in: VGMC3

Ooooh yeah well this is a song alright.

828.Mountains of Thunder (World of Warcraft)

Appeared in: VGMC4

More amazingly boring World of Warcraft songs.

Joy.


827.A Despair-Filled Farewell (Shadow of the Colossus)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Trying too hard to be EPICZ does not always a good song make.


826.Lost Courage (Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2)

Appeared in: VGMC5

I literally lol’d when this got a 2 seed (or whatever high seed it got).

This song transcends mere genericness.


825.Endless Despair (BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

Appeared in: VGMC4

That constantly repeating synth is really annoying.


824.Small Two of Pieces (Xenogears)

Appeared in: VGMC1, 2

Another boring vocal song.

You guys want a real version of this song? Listen to this:



823.Let's Dance Boys! (Bayonetta)

Appeared in: VGMC4

Haha, all those Bayonetta songs in VGMC4 sure were a ‘fun’ time indeed.
But yeah not much to say besides this song is kinda annoying.

822.Elvis PALB_3106 (Battle) (Wild Arms 5)

Appeared in: VGMC2

A song with some trumpets... and that’s it.

821.Battle Scene (FFII) (Dissidia)

Appeared in: VGMC4

I feel like almost every Dissidia remixed song took a turn for the worse than the original. Not a fan of the newer samples they use.

Melody’s just ok too.


820.Gluttony Fang (BlazBlue: Continuum Shift)

Appeared in: VGMC4

Another mediocre Blazblue song. All the Blazblue/Daisuke Ishiwatari fans will hate me.

819.Ao-iconoclast (BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger)

Appeared in: VGMC4

Another mediocre Blazblue song... with VOCALS.

818.Battle with Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Hey I like the Mantis fight.

However this song is very unremarkable and repetitive.

817.ICARO AGAIN (Shadow Hearts: Covenant)

Appeared in: VGMC2
The slightly inferior version of ICARO. Adding the WAILING GUITARZ made it even more mediocre.

816.ICARO Piano (Shadow Hearts: Covenant)

Appeared in: VGMC1

The slightly superior version of ICARO. Not that that helps much.

815.Kokoro (Xenosaga)

Appeared in: VGMC3
Another boring vocal song yay.

814.Buy Somethin Will Ya (Earthbound)

Appeared in: VGMC1

‘Amazing’.

I’m glad this song got remixed for Brawl in a better light.

813.An Old Story (Suikoden II)

Appeared in: VGMC1

Let me tell you an old story.

It’s about a time when boring and unremarkable Suikoden songs kept getting nominated in VGMusic Contests.

Thankfully these days we don’t get those anymore. (Except for Exceeding Love maybe)


812.Devils Never Cry (Devil May Cry 3)

Appeared in: VGMC2

Don’t feel like making a joke based on the title that would be too easy.

Anyway the opening chant is ok, then we great some amazing GROWLIN.

811.Mechanical Rhythm (Xenoblade)

Appeared in: VGMC1,
Another boring vocal song.You guys want a real version of this song?
Listen to

Well, I think that was one of my favorite songs in the contest. And yes, the remix is good but I give the tip to the original.

Not going to bother going into my rationale as to why this song is so treasured by me since that's not the point of this topic, per se. Just making a note is all.

I enjoy Forest Temple, but can't stand most Touhou or Motoi Sakuraba. They're clearly opposites though, one keeps things light and gets by with very few sounds, while the other just piles on sounds and rhythms.
