30-Day VGM Trend

That's right, I enjoy music

1) Title screen music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_gObHt1uZA
Immediately cheating by bringing Tim Follin into this list
2) Opening level music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSlCsSc5LyI
A bit short, sure, but it's been stuck in my head for the past 16 years
4) Music from a console-exclusive series
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZeGC7e9M_w
I'll never forget the first time I've heard the initial 12 seconds of this song
6) Music that makes you feel relaxed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUT-7YajIaQ
Spyro 2's hub worlds created an aesthetic that no other game has ever been able to replicate since
8) Music from a shooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFWZWUDHDaU
Game caught me off-guard by having some pretty good tunes, but this one stuck out the most due to some Spyro vibes
9) Licensed game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJfu0Rj0uXE
They made a soundtrack that encapsulates the feeling of drinking 5 cups of coffee per day

Vay

10) RPG Battle Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HSZNyzbK7I
I get the feeling I'd get tired as hell listening to this throughout the game, but I admire the fact that it doesn't really sound like any other RPG battle theme I've heard
12) Music that makes me sad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es6ZqIvfWO4
Just the song by itself won't affect me, but everytime I see the scene that accompanies it, it's definitely doing something
13) Music I like from a game I don't like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4t-qCgpazM
"Don't like" is a generous description for my feelings on everything Bayonetta 3 does, but at least it has a battle theme I looped for weeks
14) Featuring vocals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEUOOgNzOv4
I wouldn't even necessarily say this is one of my favorite vocal songs, but I do think it's one of the funniest

SO CUTE YET FIERCE IS HE FROM HELL
15) Boss battle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV5OzdqpjFE
Koji Kondo's still got it
17) Music I never get tired of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSYXM5HjDQY
My go-to work music
18) Released the same year I was born
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ik4WBVBN-o
If you peered into my mind, this would probably be playing even when I'm not aware it is
19) Cover of music by a different artist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uupKicziuq4
Does this count?? I think it counts. Much like mushrooms, give this one a little time to kick in
21) Music I associate with frustration
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPQI2OabjyY
Everytime you hear this song, there's a 60% chance you are about to instantly game over
23) Underrated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Weo-np8pnro
I get sad thinking about a Drakengard remake, 'cuz the soundtrack would likely get redone to sound more "normal," even though the fact that it sounds so fucked up here is the game's most fascinating quality
24) Music you constantly have stuck in your head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPY20FjhGMo
Sorry
25) Music that gets me pumped
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoT--tm23nk
The game in general has an infectious effect that caused me to move my whole body to the beat, but I especially love the way this song builds up to the big part
26) Music I like from a game I haven't played
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjACNTXzxOY
The part at 1:17 specifically
I'll get around to this game someday, but before then I've got a shit load of other Megami Tenseis to go
28) Makes me nostalgic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hkvYlVAwjk
I actually haven't played this one either, but my brother was into it so I often heard the soundtrack playing in the background. Since then, I get a lot of warm fuzzy feelings everytime I return to this login theme
29) Final boss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChRW61198n0
Any game whose climax utilizes a slow, methodical type of song instead of a bombastically intense one, is an instant 10 in my book
30) Credits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTdcJWDNsao
Technically this also plays during the overworld as well, but it's also the credits theme. Never before has a song so bittersweetly reminded you that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is never gonna be as good as this
