I was about to say DKC2 topped it, but then I started thinking about a song to top your pick, and I couldn't. And taking a quick listen to parts of DKC and DKC2's soundtracks, I have to agree that the first one's is better.

Gangplack Galleon is a helluva song. Probably the best in DKC1. And that's with Aquatic Ambiance!

However, DKC2 crushed it.

Behold:

Need I go on?

Ok..those are good as well.

I love the aquatic song from the first game- HOWEVER... BRAMBLE BLAST ROCKS!

Agreed... DK2 > 1, but 3 < 1 and 2.

I find it funny that Ix grabbed about the same ones I would have.... defintely the first two.
