Good taste, man. I like Tragic Prince.

I like a lot of Castlevania music, my fav game is AoS. I think my fav track is ONE OF THEM found in Bloodlines, but heavily leaning on Stage 1, the remixes and almost every other stage are closely tied for a close 2nd.

ROAST ME

>>7927749
bloodlines and sotn are same composer, a woman. not gonna roast you, friend

>>7927696

Disliking popular things doesnt make you interesting. Are you even capable of explaining why you dont like it?

No, of course not. You aren't contributing to the conversation, you're just being disruptive.

>>7927764
so what a woman also made the music in megaman. In japan women are allowed to be enslaved to spew out content and get banged in the bathroom whenever needed. There's nothing wrong with a woman working in japan.

OP is the most massive faggot. Imagine hating this holy shit.

>>7927860
Still one of my favourite Rondo of Blood song

Wicked Child

Scarlet Battle Theme for me. Or The Pinacle from DoS.

>Whilst not an easy decision, I must go with Clockwork, from Akumajou Densetsu.

>>7927768
>Are you even capable of explaining why you dont like it?
He never claimed to dislike it. You can enjoy something and also think that it's a lame choice to be someone's favorite.
>Disliking popular things doesnt make you interesting.
True, but liking popular things can make one less interesting.

i love don't wait until night/heart of fire and wondering ghosts.

Wood Carving Partita or bust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXdddCaALKc

>>7927879
This man gets it. Harmony is a rough game in sound and graphics, but in the good ways, in pleasantly abrasive ways, which makes it feel raw.

>>7927696
To me is Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTPEYCw5uuM

For me it's a Calling From Heaven played by a Swedish cutie pie and her twink associate who secretly has a crush on her

https://youtu.be/LXj3TB_tP2w

This is objectively the best Castlevania song: https://youtu.be/XWNe97KuLik

>Bloody Tears
For you OP, my love <3

https://youtu.be/5_Q1rXhHL6g

>>7929464
Not OP, but that's rad.

I really fucking love Don't Wait Until night and the rest of the Haunted Castle tunes. I also really like The Sinking Old Sanctuary from Circle of the Moon. That "guitar" is so good.

>>7929495
>The Sinking Old Sanctuary
beautiful track but I prefer teh bloodlines original and N64 versions

It's a good track but the cheesy MIDI soundfont ruins it completely.

>>7929185
>>7929664
I meant this

>>7927696
Bloody Tears is good, tho, even if it's an obvious pick that has showed up way too many times.

Now Misty Moon Pagoda of the Demonic Realm on the other hand...

get on my level

Pillared corridors from cv4 and riddle from cv3(jap version) are the best themes of the series

>>7927696
Easily the best Castlevania track. Nothing comes close. I only wish it played during the Dracula fight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR0UjAQIX6E

This particular of Tower of Dolls is really good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFrwoQdnKyA

Other personal favorites include RIDDLE, Don't wait til night/Heart of Fire, Bloodlines Bequeathed, Aquarius and Beginning.

>>7927802
Megan's composer is a good example of how women just rip off of men in their creative endeavors.

>>7930436
*Megaman lol

>>7930295
Oh yes, this is the shit

>>7927704
Based.

For me, it's Heart of Fire.

>>7930783
I honestly liked it better when Don't Wait Until Night and Heart Of Fire wasn't mashed together. Not that the rendition in AOS isn't great.

Love Castlevania music. Imho, top track in each game I've played.

I don't get it, OP doesn't like bloody tears or just tired of people always talking about ir?

I disagree, but then again this thread is full of supposed "hidden gem" CV tracks and it's the same rondo stuff that have been hyped since 2007.
Only anon who got it right is the one who posted belmont's revenge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqww2bvf51g

Wandering Ghosts from Symphony, my favourite for years.

The old Game Boy games have a number of surprisingly good original compositions.

>>7939261
how is OP a faggot
bloody tears is an extremely pedestrian choice for a favorite track

>>7932083
>>7932098
Picture of a Ghost Ship is my favorite track from Rondo of Blood as well. You have good taste in music, kings.

>>7928345
It's popular because it's a goddamn banger.

>>7939352
It's also a good track, so it being someone's favourite shouldn't surprise you.
You can be like "Why, my favourite Castlevania music is Execution Tower from CV64" or some other obscure underrated Castlevania track, but that doesn't make Bloody Tears any worse or turn you into some kind of elite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7M60cKQ4To

>>7929495
Haunted Castle has awesome music. Cross Your Heart is still my favorite.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=crnLJsQItDk
They wasted this one on a high score table screen.

For me? It's MOON FIGHT

>>7930436
okay? what about all the men who rip off men.
like the zelda and final fantasy composers who spew out classical and prog rock that they grew up on.
I'm not even liberal, thats just a hateful take you have there my friend

>>7927696
>I don't like this thing that's popular
Okay, don't care.

>>7941203
i always thought that castlevania 3 had a really appealing premise. i like the idea of 4 misfits teaming up.

>>7940457
why do jewtubers always use castlevania music?
i know its good but have they no sense of originality?

Sure, Castlevania has a lot of great music, but you really have to dig to find something that's outright awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjLON6LsUmg

for me it's

>>7941243
I remember one of the Konami rumors that arised was that they were planning on making a CV3 remake but as an action rpg. Would've not been very Castlevania but it could've been fun, add a Hector side story about betraying Dracula and fighting Isaac and I would've been 100% on board

For me? It's this entire fucking soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy0POEP6Ndk&list=LLz8jIM8fiuIol_N1AhNf0vQ&t=90s

Good Castlevania music is an easy subject, because it's full of great melodies, most which have been rearranged and remade a dozen times each, usually well.

A bigger question is, is there any Castlevania tune which straight up fucking bad? I can't think of any.

Eh, it's not like it's highly memorable or catchy or anything, but it's also meant to be a non-action theme for when you're interacting with a merchant, it's background noise.

>>7939352
So name an aquatic or aerial or vehicular one.
