Did some quick commentary while I was compiling votes!
Mario beat out Double Dragon by only two votes. It was a hard choice, I actually picked Double Dragon. Did you ever notice there was a Dragonforce song that lifted the melody for one of their songs? Batman beat Perfect Dark End Credits. Both great songs but I don't think the PD credits was the best song in PD by a long shot... Chrono Trigger theme beats Storm Eagle in a blowout, much to my surprise. I much prefer Storm Eagle, because RPGs are for girls. MM2 Wily beats Guilty Gear XX Existence in a blowout. Guess it's just too iconic! Zelda theme beats out FF6 theme. Can't say I agree with this, much! Duke3D theme beats out OutRun. Always bet on Duke! Earthworm Jim - Use Your Head beats out FF4 Boss (and also Culex) music! Great to see this epic track getting some props! Pleather for Breakfast beats out MM3 Wily. There's only room for one Wily in this town! Extol and Metal Gear Solid themes are tied. My arbitrarily selected gamer bro picked MGS! Ducktales - The Moon beats out DKC Stickerbrush Symphony. Ducks, yes, ducks, in outer space. Punch Out punches out Corneria. Hahah, that was a boxing joke. Gerudo Valley edges out Airman. Yeah, it's probably the best Zelda song... right? World of Goo beats out Hardman. This was the only one I personally couldn't decide on, both epic tracks for sure. Steel Samurai and Mute City tie. My buddy picked Steel Samurai! Link to the Past Dark World beats out Earthbound. Mr. Saturn can't approve of this... Song of Storms beats out Rainbow Road. Euurgh.

Every one of my choices in the last round won except for one--who the Hell voted MGS? You people suck.

I was always interested in this idea but was busy with some other stuff. Better late than never I guess and now that the number of songs has been reduced a bit, I can actually listen to them all before voting. So here we go:
08B - I'm not sure if it is better song but after having listened to the the Mario theme for so long, it's hard to appreciate or care about it. It's different, it's interesting, it's new. That said,
11B - Tough match-up but the Chrono Trigger theme song is an incredible piece of music. Looking at the rest of the songs in Division 1 and 2, I think this song will make it to the finals.
17A - I know S-U-P-E-R would like to kill all Zelda's. I'll vote against a Zelda if the other song. Unfortunately, Duke Nukum is not a better song.
30B - My winner of Division 2 prediction. It's not a perfect song to me. There are some parts I don't care for, yet, after listening to it, I wanted to hear it again. It's different and it left more of an impression that Use Your Head. Get's my vote.
34B - Nothing against 8-bit music but it can be hard to compete against a more orchestral piece especially when the 8-bit song is rather short and a simple loop compared to a 4 minute song that is constantly changing its sound. I don't think it is the best Metal Gear Solid song. For that, I'd vote Snake Eater Instrumental on Brawl.
46A - Yeah, favorite song of Ocarina. I'd like to just go and stand by the bridge even though I couldn't get across simply to listen to this track for awhile. Always hated when night would begin to fall and cut it off. The Punch Out fight music is iconic enough and there are better versions out then the link but compared to Gerudo Valley, no chance.
53A - I'm surprised at how well I remember this song. But I don't remember really digging it before. But now, listening to it alone, I do. Again, I think there are better Phoenix Wright songs out there but this isn't a battle of what could be, it is a battle of these chosen songs. While I did enjoy Conflict of Interest, these were two different styles of songs, one slow and ponderous, the other upbeat and cheery. I went with cheery.
60A - Of the different versions of the Dark World theme I've heard, never have ever sounded as good as the original song on the SNES. It just seems to hit the right notes. I loved humming along with it while playing the game and listening to it again after some time since my last playthrough it still sounds fresh. While I do enjoy the circus carnival sound of Song of Storms, I can only take it in limited doses. Dark World theme could play for much longer before I'd get sick of it.
~ Fixed the first pick (it's 08B, not O8B)

I always liked Song of Storms best of the Ocarina songs. Was Balad of the Windfish ever on the list? That it probably the best Zelda song ever. World of Goo, Chrono Trigger and Ducktales are my three personal faves on the list. If they get paired up at the end I'm not sure who I would pick though.

Yeah it was knocked out in the first round by Stickerbrush Symphony for DKC2. All of the songs that were in the first round are a page back so you can listen to them if you like.
