I can't believe you guys voted out Dr. Stewart and nobody told me about id! AND Battletoads Double Dragon Level 5! Are you sure you aren't knee-jerk picking your favorite games instead of objectively picking the best songs?? ANYWAY, 32 songs left, 16 matchups, vote 'em and we'll call the deadline late Friday night.

It's a tight enough group that I can comfortably commentate, I think. I'm predicting a Zelda theme victory, with Mario as my next prediction. There are still some strong underdogs though and some really tough calls IMO right now. What is pleather and why would you eat it??
I'm excited to see how World of Goo vs Hardman, Gerudo Valley vs Airman, and my favorite Guilty Gear song vs Wily turn out... (check out dis hype Hardman remix : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SofteUKdyAY )

I listened to at least part of every song before voting in the last round. There were a few surprises--I still really like that Tekken 5 song, despite hating the series--but mostly I chose exactly what I thought I would--the games I'm most familiar with.
Face it, chiptunes hold special places in gamers' hearts. Everybody knows and loves at least a dozen NES and SNES songs. They're ingrained into our brain. They're designed to be catchy. Modern music is generally designed to create an atmosphere and it just doesn't work as well if you're not playing the actual game at that moment. It's just some dull orchestral music or bland techno beats.

Guilty as charged. I skipped over the choices where I hadn't heard either one, but for some of them, I just picked the one I was familiar with.
I'm in the opposite boat. Each round (especially the first) I made sure to listen to each song, even if i was familiar with it, to at least the halfway point. Some decisions took several minutes, it's a pain but I did my best to put bias/nostalgia for series aside. I'm glad its almost over!

Seriously, there are more than a few games on there I've either never played, or only ever played a few times (not enough to remember) that I voted for. Double Dragon, for example, was one of those games friends or cousins had that i'd play as a kid but I never owned myself or put much play time into in order to have any feeling of nostalgia connected to the music.

OK, I'll get in on this. I didn't before because I was overwhelmed by the volume of songs and confused on how to vote properly.

03A - Because I'm not just knee-jerk picking my favorite games. 08B 11B - There have been disturbingly few decisions this difficult for a game music BATTLE. 16A - I only nominated this out of respect for its widely-known-ness, but it keeps going up against weak-ness.
17A - Some songs from FF6 would beat the Zelda theme, but not this one. Not quite. 24A 27B 31A
35A 38A 42A - This whole division is full of hard decisions. Well, except... 48B - Die, Gerudo Valley!
51A 55B - Forever it will be my favorite. 60A - Because I don't love that Earthbound song much. 61A

[ DIVISION 1 ] 01A Super Mario Bros theme (I love the Double Dragon theme, but it's not nearly as iconic as SMB) 08B Batman - Stage 1 (Am I the only one who doesn't like Perfect Dark's credits?) 11B Chrono Trigger: main theme/Chrono's theme (Sorry MMX, but you can't compete with this!) 16A Megaman 2 Wily stage (Guilty Gear XX makes me ears bleed.)
[ DIVISION 2 ] 17A Legend of Zelda theme (Zelda will never die!) (Abstaining from this vote because both songs suck ass.) 25A Earthworm Jim - Use Your Head (Choosing between this and FF IV boss music was a tough one.) 30B Pleather for Breakfast (NO MORE HEROES) (How the Hell did Pleather for Breakfast beat the Hammer Bros theme?!)
[ DIVISION 3 ] 35A Tetrisphere: Extol (This song sucks a little less than its competition.) 38A Ducktales - The Moon (Nothing can beat the moon--it's going all the way!) 44A Punch Out - Fight music (Iconic.) 46A Zelda:OOT Gerudo Valley (Zelda is king.)
[ DIVISION 4 ] 50B World of Goo-Conflict of Interest (Bad day to be Mega Man.) 53A Phoenix Wright - The Steel Samurai (I've never figured out why Mute City is so highly regarded.) 60A A Link to the Past: Dark World (Link lives on!) 63B Ocarina of Time - Song of Storms (Boy, we've got a lot of Zelda music in here ....)

This is a Music BATTLE, not an Icon BATTLE.

Honestly, I tend not to pay as much attention to game music as some of you seem to, so I tend to lean towards iconic chip tunes because these are the few songs that stick out in my mind. The rest is all just background noise.

I can understand that, I'm the same way with regular music. Besides a few iconic sings, I wouldn't really recognize or care much for most songs and music groups. It's all just background noise on my way to and from work.
