This continues the article series on my Top 100! Here's a small recap of what I'm doing:

Let's go!

#30
Super Mario Galaxy - Wind Garden Galaxy

This is probably the newest song on the list. Galaxy really does have some great themes going on in it. The buildup to the best part of the song is an amazing payoff. Experience it.

#29
Resident Evil 2 – Save Room

A mix of relief and tension fills you as you hear this song. You're glad to be safe for now, but the chilling (I use that word a lot, don't I?) tone of it reminds you that terror still lurks outside.

#28
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest – Bloody Tears

I don't like this game. I played it some, and didn't like it. However, I really liked the song outside of the first town I went to. This song is called Bloody Tears. Very awesome.

And here's a piano rendition that's even more awesome:


#27
Megaman X4 – X's Theme (Opening Stage)

READY??? OOooooowhee, this gets you cranked to do some robot-on-robot damage! Love the cowbell in the song. Badass music for a badass X.

#26
Megaman X3 – Ending

You've saved the day, Megaman! What's left? Sitting back and enjoying the best ending theme of all the X games that I have played.

#25
Final Fantasy VI – The Phantom Forest

The Phantom Forest, how mystical and serene. I didn't really care much for VG music as a kid, but this was the very first song I just sat down and did nothing else but listen for minutes on end. Calm and soothing.

#24
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – Hydrocity Zone Act 2

While you may consider them to be the same song, Hydrocity Act 2 is a different and better song that Act 1 with it's few changes. The main part of the song that takes off after the buildup is probably the best of Sonic 3's music. Yes, even better than the fabled Ice Cap Zone (which I never thought was OMGBESTSONGEVER, but certainly appreciate a lot). It owns.

#23
Streets of Rage 2 – Never Return Alive (Boss Theme)

This is just too awesome. Imagine kicking boss ass to this one. Yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.

#22
Final Fantasy VIII – Fisherman's Horizon

I'm at peace. It conjures up a small town vibe, taking it easy at the local fishing hole. Why would you ever want to leave?

#21
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – Ilia's Theme

A ranch. A girl who cares for a horse. Village life never seemed so appealing.
