Best boss musics of all time

[Bananamatic]

And it has the most hilarious name ever (A hysteric woman goes over the sun).

Doesn't the track title mean the Chaos Queen?(even though she's a space insect and stuff)

[Captain]

Your name made me guess you would post that.
DAMN WHY DID I FORGET TO POST HELLSINKER MUSIC

*facepalm*


AND YOU FORGOT THIS!

Worst would be ESPGaluda... doodle-dee-doo..."YEAH!"

Cave boss music always comes off to me as quite professionally done, gets the job done, but I'm not that emotionally moved by it. Sometimes it feels too ostentatious/polished...

Have to think about others, but I've always really liked Poison of Snake. The A melody sets the tension quite well, and the B melody becomes all heroic for a brief moment. Every now and then it will align nicely and cinematically with my playing.

Do-Donpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label Arrange (Ketsui style).

[Eaglet]

I can't believe i have to be the first one to post this.

I believe i just won this thread.

[Estebang]

Sadly, Garegga's music is largely ripped off from classic Detroit Techno tracks (such as this one, which was posted in the dubstep/electronic music thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBe7T4olpv4)

This is hardly an isolated example--Yuzo Koshiro frequently swiped from artists like Soul 2 Soul in his heyday, and the entire Doom soundtrack is shameless ripoffs of well-known metal songs.

[ratikal]

It still gives it's own twist, not to mention shows the listeners a new genre that they may have not known about before. I certainly wouldn't have known about Detroit Techno were it not for Garegga.

[mesh control]

well, I'm scouring soulseek now. Because that song is fucking awesome.

[Estebang]

Agreed, though I'm enjoying it less with the knowledge that it's less than original, and I can't associate it exclusively with Garegga.

Not that I'm unhappy knowing that more music of this type exists!

[Eaglet]

Besides, there are a maximum of two songs that are "rip offs". The rest are awesome originals.
I liked Detroit Techno as a youngin so playing Battle Garegga for the first time now in my 20's was something of a strangely nostalgic experience.

[BIL]

Reminds me of my old buddy Cecil McWoot's Yngwie Malmsteen vs TFIV video.

Also,

Loving the New Beat sound.

LOL. It's true! I now nominate the Unofficial Gradius Gaiden TLB Theme

[gameoverDude]

Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu:
-Longhena Cantata
-Somebody, Stop Me. (Boss 2)
- ]-[!34_#! (True Final Boss): Sounds like Ridge Racer's Rotterdam Nation on a liter of Jolt.

DDPDFK Black Label:
-Mercilessness (TFB theme): Fucking insane in a good way.
-Frenzy (Boss 2)

Ibara:
-Guardian Angel

Viewpoint:
-F.O.B. (with the kickass James Brown vocals)

Battle Garegga:
-Stab & Stomp
-Erupter (Glow Squid)

Batrider:
-Chop U!

Zed Blade:
- Boss BGM (not sure what the title is)
- Final boss BGM

Xevious 3D/G
- Boss 2 BGM

Thunder Force II/III/IV: Too many to list, but just about any boss track from these belongs here.

[iconoclast]

Tsubazeriai from Akai Katana Shin (any version, really, but the arranged version is insane): http://youtu.be/GRCN_8POWnM

Yes. Best boss theme ever.

Hell, the entire soundtrack is A+.

[Marc]

Super R-Type. Ace remix of the original. My all time though, has to be Gynoug. That creepy organ intro still gives me chills.

[RNGmaster]

I don't see why this hasn't been merged with this thread.

[Captain]

Because this lists music that is considered good, not music that is your personal favourite.

[RNGmaster]

Ok, so how is this thread an objective list of the best musics of all time? From what I can tell, people are just posting their own favorite pieces and you're commenting on the choices. Same as the other thread.

You piss me off a bit, but this isn't about a personal vendetta - I just don't like redundant topics. I also don't like people listing "the best games ever" (except for the yearly forum vote) because such lists are bound to be flawed and to piss people off. That's why I hate Cracked.com.

[Marc]

My god, this place never changes.

[RNGmaster]

Hey, haven't seen you since the CKM madness. It's been a while.

Anyways, same as ever here, yeah. Though with the influx of young'uns, myself included, it's possibly gotten worse.

You piss me off a bit too. But this isn't about a personal vendetta either, you piss a lot of people off.

This thread is now also about pissing other people off. Oh, and my vote goes to Self from Darius Gaiden.

edit: and the final boss' second form theme from Pink Sweets.

Also, Strikers 1999 FTW. There's a good arranged version of this track featured in the original Xeno Fighters EX too.

[RNGmaster]

Find a different Charlie Sheen macro, please.

My vote would go to Raging Deicide. Never gets dull no matter how long you're doing the boss-milk dance for.

[Gus]

I've always been fond of Spiritual Larsa's theme. I remember the first time I heard that track thinking "Holy shit, this is the best game I've ever seen." The arrange version is pretty mind blowing.

[Captain]

RNG wut is the guy from Guwange doing in the left of that cover?

[RNGmaster]

Guwange and Ra.De soundtracks were sold together.

Sorry I said I didn't like you, man. You're fine - I think I was confusing you with that annoying "megamanexpert" guy who posted about 4 months ago.

[Ebbo]

Crimzon Clover has got some great boss musics but nothing compares to Stage 4 boss theme. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!
Crimzon Clover - Diabolos

Also, this Touhou fangame tune has been stuck in my head for a while now.

[Captain]

I thought I'd see the Crimzon Clover Final boss theme there...

[RNGmaster]

Diabolos never really grabbed me. Maelstrom, however, totally floored me when I heard in in the trial when I reached Stage 3 for the first time.
