Try to focus on Unknown or under appreciated stuff. We all know the big names and how great the music is in them.

Are the WayForward GBC games under appreciated?
If so, then I'd say I liked Virt's works on Shantae

But, I do think that GBC Q-bert is under appreciated and contains Virt's earlier pieces of music... I think.
