    Only one Final Fantasy song on that list? Not even One Winged Angel? oh geeze, I think there should be at least 5 songs from Final Fantasy games in any top 10 song list...

      And no music from the Donkey Kong Country games or even Mario. There's some great music on those games too.

      OWA is overrated. it's a great song dont get me wrong, but it's not top 10.

        Minority opinion... Many gamers, especially those who have actually played FFVII would rank that song above all others. OWA needs to be in every top 10 music list and I think you will find majority (who actually know game music) agree with me.

          I don't believe that if you ask every gamer their favorite song in a game, that OWA would rank the highest, and even if it did. so what? That's the ad populom logical fallacy, the amount of people that agree with you has no relevance to the truth. Let's say the majority of the people of the world think that Souja Boy Crank dat is the greatest song ever made, does that make it so? No. So whether people agree with you or not is irrelevant. Plus, like I said, its not a bad song, I just don't think it's as great as people say.

          if majority does not matter, than it is simply a matter of opinion for each of us. I am saying OWA should be a top 10 game music of all time because of its popularity. I have not played 3 or 4 of those games listed and I do not like their songs, but their popularity puts them in such a list. So yes, majority opinion/overall popularity does matter.

          I never said every gamer, I said people who like to listen to game music (which is actually a small number) and those who have played FFVII absolutely adore OWA.

          Again, ad populom logical fallacy, just because everyone is doing it, doesnt make it true.

          Your right in the beggining though, it is a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that it's a good song, but overrated.

          Also...
          "Many gamers, especially those who have actually played FFVII would rank that song above all others."

          You made no mention of gamers that listen to game music, you just said gamers. Lets say you did say gamers that listen to game music, I STILL don't think the majority of them would rank OWA as the best OST for a game ever, and even if they did, IT DOESN"T MATTER. This list was not made with popularity in mind, this list looks like a personal list of this guy's top 10 favorite tracks. For *bleep* sake he has Persona 4 music, SMT games are very unknown and not popular at all, so popularity has nothing to do with this guy's list.

          "You made no mention of gamers that listen to game music, you just said gamers."

          look at my parenthesis in my original reply to you.

          Persona games are pretty popular, but again, many people who play Persona type games, actually care about music. Persona is another series with great music, a comment on the other top 10 music list said the same thing. Dont underestimate the Persona series and its popularity.

          It's a minority opinion that your favorite song isn't one of the best ever?

          Hahahahahaaha, oh wow.

          Now either you added the parenthesis later, or I just missed, and if I did, my bad, but it's still irrelevant.

          Oh yeah because one guy in the comments section mentioning Persona 4 obviously means it's a popular series right!? Seriously dude? It's not a popular series, I love it, and I love Atlus, but it's not popular.

          parenthesis were there the whole time, apology accepted

          Wow, dude... Persona series not popular? Just because it did not sell 15 million copes to whiney little kids does not mean it is not popular. Do you know how many people try to put Atlus above Square-Enix in terms of RPG, there have been articles on gamegrep about Atlus trying to claim the throne of RPG... gee, I wonder if it is because of the Trauma Center series...

          Dude, even most knowledgeable gamers, don't know anything about Atlus. Atlus doesn't get to have TV commercials, or a significant amount of publicity. I am not trying to say it's completely unknown, i am just saying it isn't popular, because it isn't. It has a loyal, but small following (including myself) but it's not very big. Now, since the release of Persona 3, the series got a little more spotlight than usual, I admit that, but it's still fairly unknown.

          hey, as long as Persona 5 is on the PS3/360 (though going multiplat seems unlikely, it would not effect much), I will be happy.

    I'm surprised the Snake Eater theme didnt make it onto the list. That song was the perfect ode to the classic Bond films and really set the tone for the whole game.

    MGS2's theme is the best theme ever.

    The MGS PO theme is also brilliant.

    I would also put the Duke Nukem theme and the Killer Instinct theme.


    I would also put that theme from Silent Hill 2 which they had on the demo's on there.I think it's called Laura's theme.


    I would probably put Shrine Bro's from Scott Pilgrim on there also.

      The theme songs for each MGS game were all fantastic in their own rights. MGS2s theme, while intense in a lot of ways, had help from the opening movie. I think it's incredible too, just the video gave so much to it. You can't listen to it without thinking about it.

      My favorite game song? Has to be "Ozar Midrashim" from the Soul Reaver intro. I know it wasn't made FOR the game, but the game definitely put the song in peoples heads.

    I don't know, I kinda like the list, for the fact it doesn't have the biggest of the big songs (One Wing Angel, MGS2 theme etc.).

    Although I can't say I agree with No.1. But I'm glad Another Winter, Ice Cap Zone and Fear of the Heavens got a mention.

    A nice surprise to see a song from the Scott Pilgrim game there. That soundtrack is amazing.

    so what we have basically learned from this is you cant just come out and say X and Y songs are the greatest video game songs ever, period, because everyone has a different opinion. thats why im getting sick of these stupid Top 10 lists, they are so subjective. its important for the author to say "these are my personal 10 favorite songs" rather than what some writers tend to do which is treat it like its a fact that you cant argue.
