AC/DC presents Fire Your Guns!
Another game comes to mind. Blue Dragon WTF is going on with that ear bleeding, headache inducing boss music.
Your inability to appreciate Ian Gillan, aka the voice of Deep Purple, makes me sad on so many levels.

Also, more on Crazy Taxi... anyone ever find it a little bit funny that a game like Crazy Taxi with such a simple little concept has songs with lyrics about stuff like how overpopulation will lead to mass famine and further separation of the proletariat from the bourgeois and the perils and hypocrisies of thinking collectively? I dunno, I always found it hilarious how the lyrics to those songs read like college lectures or something and they're being played in a game about wreaking havoc with a little taxi.
i have to second queen rjd2 and dj shadow. but i think el p would be a better choice, than rjd2 or dj shadow, as long as he didnt rap in the video game.
and im going to have to suggest the cars. Chicago would be real sick also
The Cars and Chicago? Those are odd choices... what sort of game would that apply to? I mean like, I love Bruce Springsteen for instance, but I can't really see him composing a video game score.
Anyone remember that awful hair metal song that would play when Joy would ride by in Shenmue II? It wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't start at the same damn place everytime. "CHEEEEEEEEYEAH-HAAAH!!! YOU'VE NEVAH' SEEN ANY WOH-MAN THE LIKES OF HEEEEEEEEEEEER, YEAH!" Jesus, I could have shot myself. I had a friend who'd also played Shenmue II (he played it on Xbox), and we joked about making that the only song in like, a very serious RPG like Final Fantasy VII. The visualization of Sephiroth swinging down and stabbing Aerith while "CHEEEEEEEEYEAH-HAAAH!!!" played in the background had me laughing for like, half an hour straight.

Heh, yeah, I kinda always knew what you meant, so I didn't have to edit anything.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.
Of course, of course! I know that the likes of Nobuo Uematsu, Yuzo Koshiro, and Michael Jackson working their synthesizer magic will never be topped in the realm of video game music, but think... dig deep... if you were a big time video game director and someone up top said that they wanted to have a single licensed musician compose a score for your game (however unlikely that may be), who would you call to do it, depending on the nature of your hypothetical video game?
