Your top Genesis tunes

[Stark]

My favorite Genesis tune:

It's kind of amazing how long that took. It didn't even dawn on me

[SonicGamer74]

I think we can all agree it would pretty much be illegal to NOT include Green Hill Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog in this list. That tune is one of the coolest on the system.

On top of that, though;

Emerald Hill Zone (2-Player version), Chemical Plant Zone - Sonic The Hedgehog 2

Angel Island Zone - Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles

Vectorman Theme - Vectorman

Pretty much any song from Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose. Can't pick one.

The first level in Animaniacs.

MadHat im surprised someone didnt mention that one previously.

Which one are you talking about?

It's hard to play that tune. Brings me back to the easier days and makes me wish I was a kid again.

People whine that it doesn't fit Batman.

Screw those people.

Its not Batman-y but that's no reason to hate it. That's what makes Batman so awesome. You can do so much different things with him.



Nolan's Batman and Burton's Batman movies and Frank Miller's Batman weren't Batman-y either by definition, but they are still awesome.

Streets of Rage title screen theme is straight up phenomenal:


Phantasy Star II and III also have excellent openings:



And here's a track from PSII that may be the catchiest video game song of all time:


Overworld theme from Phantasy Star IV:


Ending theme to Exile:


"Passing Breeze" from OutRun


Everything from Ys III is awesome. Best track:


Finally, Marble Zone!

Who else has ripped off their shirt while yelling Power-Up! to this blood-pumping club jam?

I KNOW I HAVE!

[Gunstar Green]

Was just listening to some of Splatterhouse 2's soundtrack. Good stuff.

Bellyache Battle 02:

I am impressed by how much I like the Two Crude Dudes/Crude Buster soundtrack on the Genny. I never thought Data East was a musical powerhouse, but this is making me want to rethink.

Adventures of Batman and Robin

All of it.

Seriously, I can't believe how much love Kyd poured into this track. I am in love.

Relentless, pounding love.

People whine that it doesn't fit Batman.

Screw those people.

My take is that it's not a BATMAN soundtrack. It's a GOTHAM soundtrack. Seriously, every track in the game just captures the complete fucking lunacy, danger, and RAWNESS of that effed up city. You hear those songs and think, "I don't want to be anywhere near that fucking city."

[Gamerforlife]

Great topic, the Genesis doesn't get much love for its music. I'm probably repeating some people with a few choices, but some tracks are just universally loved by people.

Whirlwind


Idaten


Mandara


Earthworm Jim

New Junk City

Stage 2


Seven...Fucking...Force - Pretty sure hearing this gives some people nightmares.


The Adventures of Batman and Robin

Animal Boss


Space Boss (Mad Hatter's theme) - This sounds like the soundtrack to losing your mind.


Streets of Rage

Attack the Barbarian - I hear this and picture two street gangs about to throw down.


Beatnik on the Ship


Streets of Rage 2

Title theme - Ridiculously epic and dramatic, used to leave this on repeat all the time


Go Straight II - I think this actually blows away the first stage music from the first game.


Dreamer - Fun track


Under Logic - Possibly my favorite track in the game


Slow Moon - Both games have awesome boat themes


Mad Max - One message comes through loud and clear in this track, you're about to get your ass handed to you

Level V (Enemy Lines II)
