I like all kinds of game music but Shmup as a genre is certainly not left in the cold when it comes to music!
I am really curious to know how much you guys care about shmup music and what are your favorites music tracks, or complete soundtracks if you dont feel so specific.
Choosing my best ones is hard as there are so many i love but here i selected a few to start the topic.
-Battle Bakraid - Steam Syndrome : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qplHAuL ... re=related
*The whole OST from Bakraid is a gem but this one has to be my favorite

- Raiden IV - Tragedy flame : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNhMGao3UJs
*Thats the game im playing now and im hooked partly because of the excellent music. This song is of course a remix from Raiden II. For once i like a remix more than the original.
-Soldier Blade - Final boss Duoss theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwS_7oF8EQ0&#t=3m13s
*This has to be the most badass boss music i know: "ILL KILL YOU !!"
- Gradius III - Cosmo plant (Snes Version) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX-jg59-uvk
*I prefer the Snes version over the Arcade one. Once i had this song stuck in the head for like a whole week!
I could list a ton more but i'd rather wait and see what you guys like the best !!
