I'd like to be able to hear this upon 1ccing a game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QS0q3mGPGg

Seriously, I have no complaints as to what's already in a shmup. Basically less modern Cave stuff that's a bit meh sometimes and something more like TF IV towards the game metal side of things.

Drop DAN DAT DAY...A from Ridge Racer 2 into a Raiden Fighters game and nobody would even notice. Until the raging boner that would surely result from Quick Shotting enemy bombers to this song smacked the controller out of their hands, of course.

Dread Zeppelin's Earshot! would make an excellent game over/high score screen theme.

Some Japanese hardcore techno musicians, like REDALiCE, Alabaster, and t+pazolite. The latter could crank out some pretty brutal boss themes.
