Wait one bloody second, I haven't posted any Tales songs?
This is one of my absolute favorite boss themes ever. The fights it plays in are, for the most part, epic and this only enhances that feeling. Considering it also plays during fights with a certain character I adore... yeah, it's definitely up there for me.
As a side note, I once listened to this piece five days in a row without pause (besides sleeping and such). It never got old to me. But that probably says more about me than the piece itself. >_>

You probably should, but it's not a high priority. I'd rank it roughly equal to FFVII. I used to give it the slight edge, but now I give that back to FFVII.
Space Pirate Battle - Metroid Prime
It's okay, but Prime (series) has much better themes!
And to make matters worse, the song that plays when you fight these guys is absolutely terrifying. It's terrifying enough to actually interfere with your ability to play the game competently
What.
No it doesn't.
If anything it'll get me more focused. It's useful as a measure of "are there any enemies here" upon entering a room and "did I get them all" after getting a few.
(also known as the "Sonic Drowning Music Effect")
See, these aren't even comparable. The Sonic Drowning Music is absolutely terrifying and it does impair competence, and I'm not sure anything has even come close to its level of efficacy yet. I'm not even sure there's another song like it.

Sorry to steal your material.
Spoiler Alert - You did it again with Symphonia.
As I said above, I don't think the original would have fit as well in this Hollow Bastion.
But it was better. That's the important part!
As an amusing side note, my music teacher would hate all of us for our inappropriate terms. He says that 'song' means a piece with vocals in it, so nearly every time we've used 'song' has been out of place.

I'm counting this as one song, Sanctuary is the English version, Passion is the Japanese version. Both are absolutely amazing.
The KH2 Opening is probably one of my favorites, and this song definitely helps out immensely. In general I prefer Passion by a very slim margin, but for whatever reason they have slightly different feels to me, so in some cases I prefer Sanctuary and in others Passion, and no I don't know how or why that is the case, it just is.
I was also skeptical that KH2 could beat KH1's Opening Song, but hey, it did!

So, I've decided to start doing only one on Friday instead of Friday being special bonus day. This means that I'll be doing half as much work and you'll be getting half as much content! It's a win-win. Well, for me, anyway. I'm just so damn lazy!
Anyway, Scribblenauts is not really the game to look to for good listening music. Most of its tracks are pretty good in-game: they're catchy, but not really something I'd want to listen to over and over outside the game. Track 13, however, is just completely different from all the other tracks, in a good way. It's so much more serious and less upbeat and just... better. Only track in Scribblenauts I would consider legitimately great. It helps that it plays during a level where you have to conduct a daring underwater rescue of three hostages being held in a heavily guarded cave base. It's suitably stealthy and secret agent-ish and just complements the level perfectly.

Yeah, 4 different variants. The remixes are unique enough for me to mention them and yet calling them different songs seems wrong. So speaking of Simple and Clean/Hikari, here we are. Don't get me wrong from my comments regarding Sanctuary/Passion these are still incredible songs, I just think Sanctuary/Passion are superior. Also, as an opening, I think KH2 also wins by a huge margin, but yeah. As for ranking these, I definitely prefer Hikari to Simple and Clean. With Sanctuary/Passion I said that while I prefer Passion there were some situations where I liked Sanctuary more. Not the case here. If we include the remixes it becomes:
Hikari -PLANITb Remix- >= Hikari >> Simple and Clean -PLANITb- Remix >> Simple and Clean
In general I like the faster pace of the remixes, especially with Simple and Clean where I think it definitely helps out, but with Hikari it is nearly equal and I could probably switch those two on occasion. Also, if we include Sanctuary/Passion in this, it doesn't really change much:
Passion >= Sanctuary > Hikari -PLANITb Remix- >= Hikari > Simple and Clean -PLANITb- Remix > Simple and Clean
Sanctuary and both versions of Hikari are quite close, but there's a bigger gap between them then say Sanctuary and Passion. In short, Kingdom Hearts Opening Music is amazing.

incidentally, you're getting the music video version of the song, because I find it interesting (and it has some fanservice, which is nice), but it does contain bits of some of ToV's cutscenes. I wouldn't really consider any of them to be spoilers, but still, don't watch it if you haven't played ToV. just put it on in the background or something.

Another Tales song. My bad, but I wanted to do this one before xp could snipe it out from under me. <_< It's also another one that grew on me, to the extent that I absolutely hated it at first. But after it got stuck in my head for about nine months (I wish I was kidding), I ended up liking it. Stockholm Syndrome? I dunno.
The lyrics... okay, they drift in and out of being nonsense and being perfectly acceptable. Either that or animelyrics got some parts wrong, but seriously, read through that and tell me if everything makes sense to you. That said, the lyrics sound good when sung, at least. (For the record, the way I heard the lyrics initially made more sense than the animelyrics version. Just sayin'!)
...And hell, I'm really running out of stuff to say about the actual song. I should just never do songs with lyrics. Okay, here, I'll follow xp's lead and post the Japanese version:

I don't like this version as much because sing-along-ability is a big part of why I like Ring a Bell, but I dunno. Maybe someone will appreciate it. I think I find Kane wo Narashite to be prettier, but really, I'll take the English version any day.

I don't post vocals often, but this one is from a game that I haven't played and am not that familiar with the soundtrack of. This is the only song from it I recognize, but it's a very good one.
This plays during the ending of Fatal Frame 2, which is a powerful one (if you don't get the lousy horrible ending by leaving the game too soon). I did watch an LP of it and the song fits wonderfully. I like it in general and tend to listen to it on its own.
Also, I'm on a crummy laptop right now at my grandma's, so I'll comment on other songs/posts at some future point. Screw doing it like this.

Final Toccata - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kAccvZuyzo
One of the most memorable Castlevania tunes in my opinion. Probably like top 3. And luckily, it's a good one. I say "luckily" not only because it gets stuck in your head, but also because it plays goddamn everywhere in the second half of SotN. I swear, it plays for practically the entire Inverted Castle.
The opinion of a lot of people, in regards to this song, is: "It's good, but if I hear it one more time I'm going to kill myself. Others may die also." Obviously, because I'm posting it here, I don't agree with this sentiment (though it is understandable). Personally, Final Toccata is good enough for me to almost enjoy hearing it throughout the entire Inverted Castle.
Almost.
Beyond that, Final Toccata symbolizes everything that makes Castlevania music good. It's atmospheric, foreboding, and... a little bit creepy. I can't think of anything better to listen to while exploring a demon castle!

I'm told this song isn't really liked, but I have to assume that's in error because this is unquestionably the best song in FE9, if not the series from the games I've played (FE7-FE10.)
This song is the credits song of FE9, at least I'm pretty certain of that if my memory is right, definitely plays in that area. That said, I guess I can understand that if someone absolutely loathed the vocals that they'd then hate the whole song, but that's just silly.

Tales of Symphonia - Derris Kharlan ~shrine~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFYvLdm978Q&fmt=18
There are 4 variants, of which ~shrine~ is one. Originally I wasn't going to bring up the others, but might as well since I wouldn't consider them separate enough to bring up another one at a later point:
Derris Kharlan ~fear~ : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVghdkHRNiI&fmt=18
Derris Kharlan ~requiem~ : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_i8AeQMc10&fmt=18
Derris Kharlan ~appears~ : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyZD5BT9P2M&fmt=18
Actually, I think I almost went with one of these on the first day where I ended up with nothing, ~fear~ specifically, but then decided against it and Symphonia got pushed off again and I switched to intending Beat The Angel whenever I got around to it. Whoops, that didn't work out so well.
To me, these are no contest the best area/dungeon themes in the game. Never really got the Last Battle ~will~ or Last Battle ~decision~ hype. I also have a really hard time picking a favorite out of these variants. As I said, I'm fairly certain I intended to go with the ~fear~ variant originally, but obviously this time I went with ~shrine~.
As for the songs, I consider everything a buildup for what happens at the 59-60 second mark (in ~shrine~ at least, but it happens in all of them, and I think at about the same point). That part is awesome and is pretty much the entire reason I like these songs. As for ranking the variants:
~shrine~ >= ~fear~ > ~requiem~ >> ~appears~
That is subject to some change. Specifically between ~shrine~ and ~fear~, but occasionally even ~requiem~ gets involved. The only consistent part is that ~appears~ is my least favorite of the four versions.

The Extreme is great though, I love the beginning, but that might be more controversial. It still has some really good parts later on, but overall I think I'd like it even better if it was all like the beginning. I think it's my favorite of the FF7-FF10 final boss themes, but that can become quite a mess. Although now that I'm okay with One Winged Angel it has unexpected competition. Actually, come to think of it, it's only FF7 v FF8 here, because the song that FF9 has that could compete doesn't count on further reflection.

I've got something interesting for tomorrow, I promise.
I'm honestly not sure when this song plays. I originally thought it was the normal battle theme, but then I realized it probably isn't (which is a shame because the random encounters in SoA really need something to redeem them), then I thought it was the opening theme, but I think that's different too so OH WELL. Guess I can't comment on that.
In any case, Skies of Arcadia is a game all about adventure and exploration. There is no angst and most of the drama is shortlived; it's just a bunch of really cool characters doing awesome things on the high seas. (Really high. Like, airborne.) It's like the video game equivalent of One Piece. (Well, before the recent arc ruined One Piece forever, but whatever.) This song perfectly symbolizes that feeling to me. Really, come to think of it, the first 8 seconds of the Blue Rogues' Theme are basically Skies of Arcadia summarized in music form. <_<

See, the thing about Fire Emblem battle songs, and for me, especially FE9 and FE10 is that you pretty much never hear them. And even if you do, like in this case, you're almost certainly not going to hear very much of it because it'll only start when you're attacking (and have animations on) and after the animation is done, it'll go back to the map music. ...I actually think it might "remember" where you are in the battle song and restart from there next time you attack, but that's different than playing it completely, and I could be confusing games anyway. This is probably my favorite actual battle music in FE7-FE10, though again, because of how FE battle music tends to work out for me, it's really hard for me to be completely sure of that.

Unlike Final Fantasy's which sounds more Prideful and Honor-like, Tactics Ogre takes the Bloodshed approach and Drums of War.

The other day I mentioned that I wanted to post a different
But I digress. I'm watching an LP of Heretic right now and this is probably my favorite track in the game so far. It plays during... okay, well, I don't even remember very much about the mission. The missions in this type of game are just not very memorable. More importantly, it captures the gothic-horror-action-adventure feeling perfectly. You're in a cathedral, which SHOULD be a holy place, but you're being attacked by undead/monsters/demons/whatever. (On the other hand, Heretic's actually a sort of silly, over-the-top game, so this track doesn't fit as well as you might think from my description, but whatever.)
Incidentally, I haven't started the Hexen 2 LP yet (...I have a problem), but I couldn't resist listening to this remix:
The Enchanted Cathedral - Hexen 2

(You might have to adjust your volume upwards, it's pretty soft.)
I think I like the original better, although I'm not 100% sure. The original is less atmospheric but more creepy, which I like. That said, they're pretty close in my mind. If nothing else, I like how the remix is significantly longer.

Wow, I'm actually surprised by how much I liked this one. It really reminds of... some other piece, but as usual I can't remember which.

It's been clear you're just trolling me at this point. >_>
I'm really not. At least not intentionally. <_<

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn - Wisdom of Ages
I'm pretty sure I turned off animations in FE10 immediately, like the second I gained the ability to, so I... never heard this! It actually reminds me a lot of Okami's soundtrack, which is nice.

Tactics Ogre - Prepare to Take to the Field
Yeah, I definitely don't like this as much as Attacking Team. Not bad, though.
