My three favorites by him.

Eddie Van Halen is great! Definitely one of my favorite bands!

My favorite songs by them are..

Top Jimmy
Panama
Mean Street

My favorite of theirs!

Styx are also great. I always loved the intro to Fooling Yourself before I even knew the song was by Styx.

Renegade is another good one.

I haz one question, if anyone will answer, has anyone ever heard music from a video game and wanted to get it?

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Jun 17, 2011 1:34 am

Of course! All the time! ^_^

There is a great amount of games with excellent soundtrack. I bet the forumites can give you good examples, since I don't play as nearly as much games as most of them....

But here, this is one of my favorite songs from a video game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRCtS2oYsNU

All the time! Aside from the Final Fantasy soundtracks (which I think are amazing and could fill the thread with) there are so many really cool game soundtracks.
Chrono Cross like Alex said.
Then there is Lost Odyssey
Gitaroo Man isn't terribly popular, but it has some good songs
And then we have Silent Hill and Rome Total War

Plus, there are people who make really cool remixes:
Gerudo Peeples(Zelda Remix)
The Knights Come Marching Home (Final Fantasy & Chrono Trigger Remix)
Terra In Black (FF6 Remix)

So...yeah.
I don't listen to a lot of video game music at all!

P.S. If you listen to none of the other ones, I encourage you to at least listen to the third Gitaroo Man song. It be amazing!

This music always made me happy to fight the final boss. So awesome...

That series had some catchy music, indeed. I never played the games, but I watched the anime.

Ditto. I tried the games once but never really got into them too deeply.
But I always liked the music in the anime. It was one of the reasons I was interested in the show to begin with.

Johnathon Coulton (who wrote all the valve songs you mentioned) has written hundreds of more great songs. I suggest I feel fantastic and Code Monkey.

Most of his best songs are on that channel as well. Those are just some of my fav's.

Fri Jun 17, 2011 8:46 pm

I love code monkey. first heard it as the theme song to the show Code Monkeys on G4.

Reconstruction · Post by **Reconstruction** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:55 am

Wait Johnathan Coulton did the theme music for Code Monkeys?

44R0NM10 · Post by **44R0NM10** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:47 am

yup, Johnathon Coulton's songs are amazing. Also, quite funny at times. I'm one of those guys who prefers Coulton singing 'Still Alive' compared to Glados as well.

Reconstruction · Post by **Reconstruction** » Sat Jun 18, 2011 1:43 pm

Well...i actually just like the plain song "Still alive" sorry, that is the one song I don't listen to sung by Johnathan Coulton.

Who likes free music? Professor Kliq makes all (or most) his music available under the Creative Commons license and releases it for download on his website.
Here are some examples of his work on Youtube:
505 Flamingo Drive
This
Nine
Crystals (An "unfinished" song on SoundCloud, one of my favorites)

Using Pandora I've found I do like music with Asian influences. Here's some of my fav's off my Asian Influences Radio
Asian Kung Fu Generation - NGS
Mucc - Libra
Yoshida Brothers - The National Anthem
Arno Elias - Walking Man (from Buddha Bar compilation album)

I also found I like some anime soundtracks, particularly "Hajime no Ippo"'s and "Neon Genesis Evangelion"'s soundtracks. (very good to play TF2 to)
Hajime no Ippo - Stand Proud
Hajime no Ippo - Sense of Tense
Hajime no Ippo, Shocking Lemon - Inner Light
Hajime no Ippo - Under Star (Great opening track)
Evangelion 1.0 - The Longest Day
Evangelion 1.0 - Mecanisme de Defense (very tense song)
Evangelion 1.0 - Angel of Doom (Who doesn't love traditional orchestras with choirs?)
Evangelion 2.0 - In My Spirit
Evangelion 2.0 - The Final Decision We All Must Take
Evangelion 2.0 - Sin From Genesis

Wow that was a lot wasn't it? Hope you check out a few of my suggestions. The best part of music is sharing it with others. Enjoy!

Retinq · Post by **Retinq** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:49 am

Contra is the hardest game, with the best 8-bit game music ever. Enjoy the rock version from Minibosses.

Megadeth - Duke Nukem

Da shootaz- Joyride (Grand theft Auto theme song.)

Syberia 2 (I recommend the game too. It's a must-have.)

Believe (The Witcher theme song)

Some songs from mafia.

The others that come to my mind were originally movie soundtracks.

I love that EVANESCENCE, was the FIRST group that i hear, because I wanted it....

EVANESCENCE RULES!!!! MY FAVORITE SONG was "Sweet Sacrifice"

Even everybody loves Bring me to life

I can't wait to see their next album if they make one. I'm ecstatic about the band getting back together.

"Going Under," even though "Haunted" is sufficiently creepy to make me really like it.

Oh hai! I almost forgot to post and annoy you guys!
Anyway I love the song "Aint no rest for the wicked"
by Cage the elephant.
I got it for my Ipod, then when I heard it on the opening
of BorderLands I was like "No F-ing way!"
Then I watched a skag get mowed down by a bus

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:52 am

GUYS. New store in my local mall. It is amazing. Every kind of media imaginable. But I'm only talking about music now because it's the thread's topic.

Their CD selection was pretty good, but nothing special. I was sad they didn't have any Porcupine Tree CDs at all. But they had like four of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

However, they also sell vinyl records. And cheap! I got:
Heart - Little Queen (1 dollar. I like Heart, but not enough that I'd have bought this if it weren't just a dollar!)
Yes - Tormato (3 dollars. Apparently it's not good. But they had it, it's cheap, and I figured it'd be neat having a Yes album on vinyl.)
Supertramp - Breakfast in America (5 dollars. Their best album!)
Kansas - Leftoverture (5 dollars. Also their best!)
And the big find...
Michael Jackson - Thriller. For five dollars. ^_^

zeekgenateer · Post by **zeekgenateer** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:28 am

Kansas and Supertramp, two amazing bands. I wish I had a record player. There's a place that sells used records nearby, but I don't have a player and I don't want to buy any if I can't use them.

There is a Chinese restaurant here in town and they play Evanescence all the time...

Plus the food's good, so it's a double win.
They play Going Under a lot, and one other song. I think it may be Bring me to Life...

Oh hey they're not bad. Haven't heard the songs at the time you posted it. Might look into the band a bit more.

I saw Adele on Saturday Night Live not expecting to like her, but actually I thought she was pretty good.
