the single greatest or WORST piece of music in any given franchise [messageIcon]

Here's my choice for the Nier/Drakengard franchise

Very tough choice

[Kalahari Inkantation]

also super hard to pick for metroid lmao. tec, your choice is VERY good, probably my second favorite song in super metroid. my top has to be this though:

which i guess is probably also my favorite song in the franchise

100% kaz-approved opinion

this would absolutely have been my choice for #1 song in the franchise if it weren't maridia, lol

it's just SO much better than the other metroid 1-based brinstar theme that's more commonly found in metroids:

oh how i wish super metroid's brinstar made more regular appearances in the metroid games

the one and only remix of it that's been featured in another metroid... absolutely sucks, lol

also, ok, so donkey kong country 2 has my favorite ost in video game history. and i've never been able to say which one is my favorite for very long - my choice is always changing. it used to be "in a snow-bound land," then it was "flight of the zinger"...but at this point, i think i honestly have to agree with the masses and say that the best, complete package truly is "stickerbrush symphony."

but i think it says a lot about this game's soundtrack when my top 5 (stickerbrush, snow-bound, zinger, mining melancholy, hot head bop) are all NEARLY equal in how fucking amazing they are. and goddamn lockjaw's locker and forest interlude are also SO GOOD now that i think about it

anyway this is my post for the donkey kong franchise i guess

[spoiler=controversial opinion:]

the brawl remix of stickerbrush symphony is OBJECTIVELY superior to the dkc2 original

i might even go so far as to say that it's the single greatest piece of music in smash bros.

[spoiler=tw: thyme hot take]it's overly produced and kind of soulless[/spoiler]

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i don't know what "soulless" means, but i guess i can see how one might consider it "overly produced" if they grew up with original

i heard the brawl version well before i heard the dkc2 one, so perhaps i'm a little biased lol

i maintain that the brawl remix is way better, though

[TooB]

The tropical freeze version is better than that, but still not above the original

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION:

Cohen's """Masterpiece""":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlu2z2gkhhI

is no more than decent, I'm afraid.

His is a highly derivative work, in my utmost humble of opinions.

no matter how many times i listen to this

It's simply the most pretentious, sloppily played piece of """music""" of all time.

i am THIS CLOSE to reporting this """masterpiece"""-of-shite to https://boyah.net/forums2/index.php/topic,57023.0.html

I'ven't any choice, I'm afraid.

Perhaps the single most annoying piece of """music""" in this entire thread. No matter how many times I listen, it only gets worse.
