Going through a list of SNES games now, I have played about half the amount of games compared to N64 but still heaps of good tracks to cover, already sure that my number 1 will come from one of the DKC games

As with the N64 list you did a lot is just down to nostalgia. For me anything from Chrono Trigger is high on my list but particularly To Far Away Times being my favourite song from any SNES game as it means a lot to me.

If anyone else here loves listening to video game music and likes rock/metal you should look up Daniel Tidwell.

He does some awesome covers of a wide range of video games and movie tracks.

David Wise has a style all to his own and he came out with an instant classic, love the way this one builds up and the twists and turns in the song which become prevalent in a lot of his stuff which is rarely repetitive

This song was ahead of its time as Pokemon in its latter gens would sample a lot of similar themes used through this song. Just really love the the way it grooves and sounds amazing aswell through headphones

Beautiful and haunting this song solidified the first DKC as an instant classic, it’s amazing what Wise was able to do with the limitations of the SNES. Another song that could be argued as one of the best VGS of all time
