The best game music ever????

Titke says it all really, can be from any console you care to imagine. Your top 5 please! (in no particular order!)

1. Streets of Rage 2 (god bless, the megadrives` w***y soundchip actually proved it could sing once and for all!)
2. Soul Calibur- Dreamcast; Proof that even dodgy synth orchestra`s can sound good with a little imagination
3. SSX Tricky- PS2; Top quality stuff, love that voice over!
4. Contra Spirits 3- Super Nintendo; The first game i played where the music actually added some excitement to the on screen action. The stage on the hover bikes is quality stuf indeed!
5. Outrun- Arcade; Last, but most certainly not least. Possibly THE grooviest and most treasured music in gaming history. Ask any arcade driving veteran what the soundtrack for him was, and this will come up at least once in the conversation!

I`m sure there are thousands more....

I actually have a CD of a rock band playing C64 classic tunes...it`s great and has been a permanent fixture in my car autochanger since I got it...

(can`t believe I just admitted that!)

WIZBALL on the C64 was truly fantastic

Chris, I can`t believe you just said that...mind you, I`ve got a SID player on my desktop to play tunes, so what does this say...no need to answer... ;-)
