Top 10 Video Game Franchises with the Overall Most Underrated Music
Hell, even the Xenoblade Chronicles OST doesn't get even nearly the amount of credit it deserves
Examples of particularly standout tracks from the series:
Beautiful Days, Beautiful Dead, Beautiful Ruin and Beautiful Lie, going in order through the renditions
Junk Food For a Dashing Youth (sadly got replaced by Finding Peace Party, which is still pretty good but not great, in V3 Killing Harmony)
DISTRUST and Living in a Lazy Parallel World
Box 15, Box 16, Ikoroshia, Ekoroshia, Hope Searching, Despair Searching and the Discussion themes
Logic Dive theme from Danganronpa 2
Monokuma's and Monomi's themes
Main Theme from the first game
All of the theme songs from the anime
Danganronpa the game where every character is a vulnerable and your feelings don't matter at all.
Seriously, actually LISTEN to the music from Jammer Lammy and PTR2 and then tell me with a straight face that PTR1 has the only amazing (let alone good) soundtrack of the series
Seriously, why is this not a more popular choice on Top 10 Game Series With The Best Music?
Examples:
Zero Mission's title theme
All of the Brinstar/Norfair themes (counting Kraid's but not counting Ridley's Lair from the original Metroid, of course, and also referring specifically to the Zero Mission rendition of NES Norfair)
Title Theme, Intro Theme and Theme Of Samus Aran Space Warrior from Super Metroid
Surface Of SR388 from Metroid 2: Return Of Samus
Super Metroid's Maridia music
Many of the credits themes
The many, many Ridley theme renditions
Crashed Frigate, Hive Mecha, Phendrana Drifts, Magmoor Caverns, Prime Battle, Thardus Theme, Parasite Queen and Tallon Overworld from Metroid Prime
Dark Samus, Emperor Ing, Sanctuary Fortress, Multiplayer Theme and Torvus Bog from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Rundas, Gandrayda, Bryyo Cliffside, Dark Samus and Skytown themes from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Lower ...more
Earthworm Jim 2 was literally the only game I know of to have almost the entire Moonlight Sonata trilogy featured in its soundtrack; need I say more?
Many people spend so much time obsessing over certain specific boss/battle themes from the actual Earthbound in particular that they completely forget how incredibly atmospheric the rest of the game's music also is
