2ch's top 300 video game tracks of all times is out
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4603463

3 Touhou songs actually made it into the rankings, and surprisingly Sepette of the Dead Princess took #20. No signs of U.N. Owen. Touhou was probably the only doujin game in the rankings and managed to pass songs from Final Fantasy, Mario, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania, Megaman and other titled games. Not sure what to make of this, but the Japanese seen rather surprised judging from some of the comments.

I don't think U.N. Owen is a particularly good song, it's just quirky.

[Armchair_Music_Expert !!nUGpfVjn++1 No.]

Good music is anything that qualifies as art.

To qualify as art, something only needs to convey an emotion to the person on the receiving end.

The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky, one of the greatest pieces of music ever, is certainly not enjoyable. Guernica, Picasso's most famous and important painting, is not an enjoyable piece of work to look at. I

[Flandrenonymous !CAERF1YrA. No.]

I'm honestly surprised myself. UN Owen seems like a song that had more reach outside of the Touhou fanbase out of any song, and then Doll Judgement after that (thanks to Marisa Stole The Precious Thing).

And the top 10 is interesting in and of itself. Is that Stickerbrush Symphony at number 2?

Definitely, I'd say that songs are remixed most often because they're catchy and have an easy-to-isolate melody, not because they're necessarily one of the best Touhou songs. Of course, there's ones which are both extremely good and catchy, like Native Faith.

My top list is something like the following (no order):

The Doll Maker of Bucuresti
Native Faith
Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke

I disagree, it had so many tracks that fit the mood perfectly. I'd say certain tracks out of FF9 and FF6 are definately as good if not better than the best of FF7's, but there are far more shitty tracks in FF6 and 9's respective OSTs. Especially 6, those days production values weren't as high and as a result a lot of it really was just poor filler.

[Anonymous No.]

Why is Touhou music just not as good as folk music? It's just not traditional and awesome at all...

[Flandrenonymous !CAERF1YrA. No.]

Production Values aside (after all, the SNES era games could hardly stand up in that aspect to the PSX era games), I still think FF4 and FF6 had a better overall soundtrack, and outside of One-Winged Angel, they both had much more memorable tracks as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>1301790

Let's be honest here, a lot of people hate FF7 for it's fanbase, which is asinine, a lot of people hate it because Square moved to Sony when they were (and perhaps still are) hardcore nintendo fanboys.

I liked it. It was good, great in fact. Not the best game ever but certainly not deserving of this fucking stupid 'lets hate ff7 to be cool and edgy' attitude.

For FF6 - The whole Opera sequence (not just Celes' piece), all the battle themes really, the Floating Continent, Kefka's Tower, Ghestal's Theme (not something I'd put on my iPod, but simply a foreboding, menacing theme), and that's off the top of my head.

FF4 - Red Wings, Theme of Love, the Prologue Theme (especially from the DS version's intro...not sure if it was in the PSX version as well), the battle themes (again), especially Dreadful Fight and the Zeromus battle, etc.
