Best MAIN theme songs in games

Heh, that was one of the few songs from Oblivion I actually liked

I would always be happy whenever it turned on when I was wandering in the wilderness.

Agreed…I have some honorable mentions for your listening pleasure though:

I might be able to think of some more later…There’s gotta’ be one or 2 I missed.

DoW2 - Angels of Death
DoW2 - There is Only War

Starcraft - Terran Theme 2

Terran theme 1

AND TERRAN THEME 3
Starcraft - Zerg Theme 1

Warcraft 3 - Blackrock and Roll

Blizzard has some good music =)

Ocarina of Time - Gerudo Valley
OOT - Song of Storms

I could go on for too long, and with about 5000 more Blizzard and Zelda songs, and all those are actually kind of off topic, so I’ll leave it at that.

Zool 2 main theme

Yeah, fo sho. I put up quite a few main themes, but it would take a friggin’ week to post all my general VG tunes.

Aquaria. It’s probably Soundtrack Syndrome after beating the game, but just listening to the title music on its own tends to bring a tear to my eye.

I don’t like the game itself much, but Street Fighter 4 had pretty good title music.

STALKER hasn’t changed its menu music between its three games, and it’s definitely very foreboding.

Oh, and OF FUCKING COURSE…

AOE 2

Age of Empires always had good music, look at Rise of Rome.

Hi, just suscribed to the forums (after long years watching it) after reading this thread.

i wonder why no one posted these ? does theses games have been sadly forgotten ? :slight_smile:

Dungeon keeper

Homeworld

and one of my favorite of all time (not just this music, the whole soundtrack of the game is a masterpiece ! :slight_smile: )

Total Annihilation

special mention to the system in this game which played soundtracks accordingly to what was happening in the game

last for the road :

Operation Flashpoint : Cold War Crisis (lifeless)
the ‘frost’ theme song is also great, but sad :slight_smile:

Any Medal of Honor.

Plus anything from this guy (who made the above theme): https://www.christopherlennertz.com/

and yes i know he only made a few game themes but im making a point that he is a very good composer.

Quake 1 mother fuckers.

and tron 2.0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKt4ZykjaGg

and Halo of course, but there are many themes in the games that I like more than the main theme.

Oh, and last but most DEFINITELY not least.
My all time favourite.

A triumph of an iconic, catchy, and an overall well composed theme…

Spyro the mother fucker.

Nothing feels more like the mid 90’s to me.

Speaking of the 90’s-

Third Strike awwwwwwwwwwwwwwWWWWWWWWWWWWWdog.

Makes me want to dance and sock somebody in the jaw at the same time. An odd comment: I think the music in SFIV and subsequently SSFIV save for Balrog’s remix is utter garbage.

The restriction of only main themes, fortunately for all you, keeps me from going into detail on what I think is good music in both these games.
