So basically what video game music do you find the most annoying?

My vote would have to go for this game.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc8c-Cxcl7o&NR

Although ending sequences of the ff's get annoying too.

Note: Sound affects count too.

For my experience, most annoying and most disappointing would have to be Crash Twinsanity.

Probably Alfred chicken or any game with any kind of rap music in it

Not to mention every atari game ever. But at least they had an excuse for crap music then.

Hey, SMB2 ruled! >_>

My personal vote goes for Aero the Acrobat. Not BAD music but it's ANNOYING as hell. XD

Vengeance is Mine (the song that plays on Radical Highway in SA2:B).
Most annoying SFX: Big jumping in SA:DX.

Any game consisting of Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen singing their own music.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Character Select screen.

There's a reason I turned the music off in that game.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Yeah, the title should have been: Marvel & Capcom 2 vs. your bleeding ears.

Music in Bandai Games. they sound robotic and dumb.

The music from the Pokemon games for the gameboy.

A good portion of STO3's music

The music is only bad if you choose a bad game. I always pick good games to play, therefore, I havn't found any annoying game music.

i disagree partly with you on that

I find that if I like the game, the music - whether good or bad - grows on me.

I think the same applies to music in general. Even if I don't like a particular band, if I listen to them long enough, the music grows on me.

... of course this is for me.

Drag-on Dragoon (Drakengard) level 1 BGM. Damn, that thing drives me nuts! Especially coz it's such a big level (and the best one for leveling up your character and weapons - 1500 enemies!).

I also have to say that after playing Banjo + Kazooie again, I absolutely hate most of the music in it. It's too nice and childish now. I wish the composer a painful death.

Vengeance is Mine (the song that plays on Radical Highway in SA2:B).
Most annoying SFX: Big jumping in SA:DX.

Vengeance is Mine is one of the best SA2 songs! Come On!

Spyro the Dragon (the original) has some really annoying music, once you've been playing for a while of course.

Diddy Kong Racing for N64 >.>

"I also have to say that after playing Banjo + Kazooie again, I absolutely hate most of the music in it."

"Diddy Kong Racing for N64 >.>"

aww those are my 2 favorites :(

I'd have to throw my lot in with... almost about every game that EA makes. This is the only reason why I'm grateful for the Xbox's generally-ignored feature of custom soundtracks.

I was mildly annoyed by some of the music in the first Drakengard, even though I loved the game. I'm so happy that they improved it in the second installment.

I'm probably going to get flamed for this one, but I hate the music in both Halo games. Also, I really hated the music in Ghost in the Shell: SAC for the PS2.

I'm certain that there's more, but I can't remember...

yay first post! woot!
anyways back to the point...i went back and started plaything the dynasty warriors4/5 again (yes i noe i need new games waiting fer new FF's), and after awhile.. the music gets really annoying, mayb its just me? But i seriously cant stand listening to the same tracks of crappy rock -.-

hence i play with sound off and death metal and such on my ipod on full blast-Disturbed FTW!

Music in Bandai Games. they sound robotic and dumb.

Gasp!!! .Hack music is AWSOME!!!

I vote Maple Story music... [not video game but still....]

it's just too sugary and LOUD and annoying! >,<

Crimson Tears(Capcom/PS2). Wasn't much for actual music but what little there was, ended up being repetitive.

How could I forget...

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

^ Not many people liked the music on the game, I am always wondering why

You're Not Here from Silent Hill 3 (which is surprising, since all the other SH3 songs are good...). That song gives me an immeasurable headache.


Edit: Statement retracted. I've actually come to love "You're Not Here". >.<;

Lindblum from Final Fantasy IX is one of the most annoying video game songs I have ever heard. I just can't understand what Nobuo was thinking when he composed it.

any music from Xenosaga sucks because well there were only like 5 different tracks played throughout the whole game.

half-life 2, not because it was bad but because there isn't enough of it. the musci is amazing but its speratic. it'll play at the begining of one area for like thirty seconds and then disappear for another 3 hours worth of gameplay

Thread Topic : The most annoying video game music.


the musci is amazing

doublepost

any music from Xenosaga sucks because well there were only like 5 different tracks played throughout the whole game.

hmm... maybe you didn't get far enough, then. j/k

I noticed that, too... but I'm stuck at a point near the beginning (after the Woglinde, aboard the Elsa), so I don't really know for sure.

well Van apparently you didnt read the rest, "half-life 2, not because it was bad but because there isn't enough of it", point is the music is great but the fact that it is non-existant in about 98% of the game is what makes it so annoying

Probably Alfred chicken or any game with any kind of rap music in it.

Right on dude! Anyways most of them games that I play I like. I don't really know of annoying music.

I don't like rap either, but I must give the award to Bomberman Hero.

Yeah, Bomberman music is pretty cool.

i turn it down when playing tetris...

yea i know everybody loves the music but after playing it in my childhood WAY too much it drove me nuts!

especially in game music "c".... curse it

I'm sure somebody's going to accuse me of trolling or flamebaiting or something silly, but One Winged Angel drives me up a wall. I nearly bloodied a friend's nose for humming it for too long in my apartment.

i hate final fantasy songs people claim are the best things ever when the biggest reason they like it is its tied to some emotional scene like aeris death or those 2 ffx songs ( you know the ones)

A few of the Bomberman Hero soundtracks are too bizarre for me. Namely, Realtor, (Which sounds like an apt theme music for becoming high. Lol.) Oropharynx, and Spiral. However, and overall, I eventually adapt to repetitive game music through constant exposure to it.

Oh. I just remembered. Captain Quazar's music is very bizarre in it's own right. Tracks 03, 05, and 09, respectively.
http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/2421

Yet again, do I remember another grating musical peice. The Mini-boss theme of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Old Door, was an exceptional letdown for my ears.

...The old arcade game Space Invaders.
'Dut...dut...dut...dut...dut...'
And quite possibly the most hated track I know is the Mailmoogle from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.

I can't believe someone didn't like Diddy Kong Racing! Whenever I need a pick me up I slap the credits or crescent Island on, and before I know it i've been listening to it looped for over an hour!

I'd have to give an honourable mention to San Andreas, simply because after the fantastic soundtrack of Vice City, SA's was such a huge dissapointment. Even GTA3's list of mostly unknown music was better.

I'm sure somebody's going to accuse me of trolling or flamebaiting or something silly, but One Winged Angel drives me up a wall. I nearly bloodied a friend's nose for humming it for too long in my apartment.

I fail to see how one can hum that song. O_o

I think it's an alright song, though I've over-listened it and don't listen to it much anymore. xD The orchestrated version is excellent, but the original in-game version makes my ears bleed.

So does a lot of 8-bit music, really. I can't listen to it casually like a lot of people can. In-game? Fine. But never on my playlist.

So basically what video game music do you find the most annoying?

My vote would have to go for this game.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc8c-Cxcl7o&NR

Although ending sequences of the ff's get annoying too.

id have to say that thats one the most inpresive things i have ever seen.

Any game consisting of Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen singing their own music.

*Giggles* You Forgot Hilary Duff ^^ Well because Hilary Can't sing properly (I used to Like her Stuff but not Anymore because she hasnt improved AT All after all those years, Get a Proper singing coach Hilary or just stick to acting because singing is your weak point)


I'd have to give an honourable mention to San Andreas, simply because after the fantastic soundtrack of Vice City, SA's was such a huge dissapointment.

I agree!! I thought SA Sucked (The Music mean) Vice City's Music was Great ^^

~Ran

Oh, rigtht, music. The most annoying I've ever heard is on Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. Not only does the loud, crappy theme music urk you, the announcer gets on your nerves and the backgrounds and select screens could bring on a seizure.

Crash Bandicoot soundtracks/music.Most good music of the video games =)
I can't choose in all CB's games,because they're all very,very good!!!
But if I have to choose,I prefer the first Crash game music =)

*Giggles* You Forgot Hilary Duff ^^ Well because Hilary Can't sing properly (I used to Like her Stuff but not Anymore because she hasnt improved AT All after all those years, Get a Proper singing coach Hilary or just stick to acting because singing is your weak point)



I agree!! I thought SA Sucked (The Music mean) Vice City's Music was Great ^^

~Ran

no... she cant act either.

no... she cant act either.

Her Singing is worse

~Ran

The game that drove me to music-induced tears was Wild Arms 3.

AUGH. That screeching MIDI violin! Just thinking about it makes my brain fill wil red foam.

And it even had a 'listen to the tunes!' special feature, because I'm a masochist and like to make my ears bleed, it seems.

The music was so horrible I couldn't complete the game, in the end.

Pandemonium really ticked me off. The tune when you die is really annoying.
And Pussgy Music sucks also.

i hate final fantasy songs people claim are the best things ever when the biggest reason they like it is its tied to some emotional scene like aeris death or those 2 ffx songs ( you know the ones)

Yeah, so? Should all the songs be good just because they sound good? Most of the greatest video game songs I've ever heard are connected with a memorable game moment. I like the fact that by listening to the songs I can go back to those places and memories.

Like right now, I'm listening to Celes' Theme (FF VI)... The scene where Cid dies (if he dies) and Celes almost kills herself... wonderful!

I also have to say that after playing Banjo + Kazooie again, I absolutely hate most of the music in it. It's too nice and childish now. I wish the composer a painful death.

To each his own, personally I love Banjo's music.

I would have to say LocoRoco, it's so annoying but in a good way that you can't stop listening to it.

How about kingdom hearts? especially the traverse town music adn sometimes the space music too, sucks (great game though)

Without a doubt, Lizzie's theme from Rampage NES.

I've never liked most of the music in Final Fantasy IX. Twisted Metal 3's music though...it makes you want to puncture your own ear drums. Godawful if you ask me.

Welp i unlike some of you i love rap,but i like mostly all music as long as it isnt repetitive to loud,or to happy.Some may disagree with me but i really dont like street fighter music because they play the same melodys in diffrent tunes so much that im forced to get tired of it.

To each his own, personally I love Banjo's music.

I would have to say LocoRoco, it's so annoying but in a good way that you can't stop listening to it.


I love Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie's music too.(not as much Grunty's Revenge though, and Banjo-Pilot's soundtrack was not so good, but at least it had Banjo's Theme, unlike Grunty's Revenge)


phazonmasher, you need to revive your topics in the Requests section, Sarah has been touching them without YOUR permission! Yes, I'm aware of the rule, but that rule is ludicrous. After all, if some of the big name soundtracks that are on the site are posted here as megaupload links(in paticular, large soundtracks such as Wind Waker, Shadow the Hedgehog, and the complete rips of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie), it could save Sarah a lot of bandwidth, and thus a lot of money.

Mischief Makers for the N64, without a doubt.

The gameplay was kickass, don't worry about that. The music on the other hand was just an insult to anyone who played it.

Mischief Makers for the N64, without a doubt.

QFT! That and probably FF1 for the nintendo. Yeah i said it. The tunes were good, but the way they sounded on the nintendo made my ears want to bleed.

Prince of Persia: WW
And Super Mario Sunshine

But both those games were disappointing beyond belief for far more reasons than soundtracks.

Pretty much every Final Fantasy X-2 track. Most of IX's annoyed me too. I suffered through it.

Supposing anyone here hunts down old NES games, the music for the original NES's "Heavy Barrel" and "Bayou Billy" are by far the most annoying soundtracks I know. Aside from "Lego Racers" on N64, which is unbearably bad. So I think.

While the Awesome Possum opening theme still gives me nightmares, the Sega Genesis version of Punisher takes the cake. That train stage was just horrible.

I try not to hate on OSTs for most games because, well, they're games. While I do listen to a LOT of OSTs, a lot of games have fitting OSTs, but nothing that I'll listen to outside of playing the game.

KOF 2001 and Neowave also had OSTs that were total insults to the usually good OSTs used in KOF.

Hmmm... i don't really have any games that stand out with any really bad tracks.... but i do kinda find the overly-repetitive boss themes from a few MegaMan games annoying. Note i said a FEW MegaMan games, not all of them.

Cool topic, but I think "Birthday Cake" from Jet Set Radio Future HAS to be considered one of the most painfully annoying tracks off all time.

Altogether now...

"Yes I'm cooking for my son and hees wife...

Eet's hees thertieth berthday...

Eet's more than Mom ever made...

SHUT UP BAAAAAAABADEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!!

WHO LINLO BAAAA BAA DEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!!!

SHUT UP BAAAAAABADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!

YOU KNOW MY LOVE IS FRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Yes, I don't know the exact lyrics...

For a game with such great music, it seems an odd choice of track.

Anything that has to do with anime. stupid shit.

^ *sigh*

Why do topics like this always have to drag out the blatent anime haters?

Because its true.

^ Uh... no. It's your opinion. Not fact. Tell us WHY you think it sucks. THEN we'll talk.

Probably Alfred chicken or any game with any kind of rap music in it

Not to mention every atari game ever. But at least they had an excuse for crap music then.

Ignorance is bliss isnt it?

Donkey Kong 64, from the AWFUL rap to all of the voices of DK's Relatives, to the dull stage music, yep the N64s death sentence right there, lol well not really but it was still pretty bad, "Cmon cranky, take it to the fridge!" that sums it up right there. Hope that wasnt too bad for a first post.

I would have to say Rygar on the (Nes) every song was horrible. And last but not least that stupid game over with no continues song.

^ Uh... no. It's your opinion. Not fact. Tell us WHY you think it sucks. THEN we'll talk.

because they butcher the melodic symphonic style of western VGM's. they sound childish and whats most annoying are all the american fans pretending they are japanese and follow this shitty trends and devote themselves to it. If your non-japanese and dedicate your lives to this awful crap than you obviously have a problem with yourself.

Whats even worse is that the gamingforce community is full of them and its very hard to find an americanized Videogame Soundtrack.

I'll just say believe me if you hear it you will now just what I'm talking about.

Its really high pitched, even for a nintendo game Contra had better music than that. Anyone play that Arcade Contra on Live Arcade? That game blows.

Just think of a baby crying.

Friday The 13th for NES. Worst music ever period and it would get stuck in your head hours after playin it

LOLOLOL Friday The 13th was one of the dumbest games. Is there any way to beat that game?

dunno I never beat it. always had my camp counselors get slaughtered before I could figure out what the hell i was supposed to do.

because they butcher the melodic symphonic style of western VGM's. they sound childish and whats most annoying are all the american fans pretending they are japanese and follow this shitty trends and devote themselves to it.

Whats even worse is that the gamingforce community is full of them and its very hard to find an americanized Videogame Soundtrack.

Uh, no shit its different from western VGM's, ITS JAPANESE STUFF. I think games of stuff from JAPAN that's made in JAPAN are going to have the symphonic styles from, you guessed it, JAPAN, not western styles.

And way to generalize the entire anime fanbase. Only the worst of the worst 'dedicate their lives to it'. And being on a forums that's dedicated to a goddamn video game series (that's also made in Japan), you should hold your tongue when making a statement like that, because its very likely that not only are you making yourself look like a jerk, you're being hypocritical.

Look, i like anime. I know most of the games suck and their music is mediocre. But i'm not like "ZOMG ITZ AWESOME GIVE ME FANSUB TORRENT NAO!!!!!" So don't come on here and say "LMAO ALL U DRONEZ WATCHIN THIS SHIT PATHETIC LOLOLOLOL" and think that you're any better.

Yes, I don't know the exact lyrics...

For a game with such great music, it seems an odd choice of track.

"Extra sugar! Extra salt! Extra oil! ENERGY!

SHUTUP BA DEEP BA DEEP!"

Yes...that song is called "Birthday Cake" and it's by Cibo Matto, a group who had a cameo in the Buffy episode "When she was bad". That song was annoying too.

Anyway, my nomination goes to the hallway theme in Dash Galaxy in the alien asylum. And it just so happens I have a review that has a clip of the theme in it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE2XmVrDKsM

Oh...and hello all. I pretty much hate most anime, but I love video game music so this place is a dream come true!

"Jailed" from FFVIII is pretty annoying. The music that plays in the prison.

I think the music played in the video game "Dragon Quest VIII" was pretty annoying. I honestly turned the volume off and listened to my own music.

im sick of dynasty warriors music now. i used to like it.

Soul Calibur - Ordinary Pain. Painful indeed...

Simple and Clean - Kingdom Hearts

The most absolute dreadful song ever to reach my ears. I honestly can't say whether its the tune or the lyrics that drive me up the wall but I am convinced Disney had a direct hand in some portion of the production of that song.

wtf, how can you not like Disney's soundtracks? (their better movies that is)

I happen to like Simple and Clean... I don't find Disney games' music annoying. I rather enjoyed A Bug's Life, and The Emperor's New Groove. Toy Story 2 was okay...

wtf, how can you not like Disney's soundtracks? (their better movies that is)

I honestly can't tell you. I just find that Disney music, games, movies etc. is the equivilant of drinking bleach to me.

What? No one mentioned Samurai 20XX yet? And the rapping, rollerskating, multicolored ninjas?


....Wait, I just did. Carry on~!

I honestly can't tell you. I just find that Disney music, games, movies etc. is the equivilant of drinking bleach to me.

Wow... I've never drunk bleach...

I'm sure someone will agree with me when I say all of the Knuckles levels music in Sonic Adventure 2 was really bad. Seriously, Sonic + any kind of rap = really bad game music. And of course the music in "Golden Eye: Rogue Agent" for DS. *cringe*

I'm going to go with Robotrek.

legend of zelda link in the past

I know, GTA: San Andreas didn't have the best music (a lot of rap), but, c'mon people, It has Welcome to the Jungle!.



Most annoying video game soundtrack? Hmmm, I have to choose Hitman 3. Hitman 2 was great, but the other game...

I don't mind rap music in a game as long as it isn't done horribly. Just like rock music in a game. It just has to have more substance then look " a rhyme, lets make it rap" or "look a guitar rift it must be rock.

My pick for most annoying is hands down altered beast. I don't think i will ever play that game again with sound on.

Altered Beast for Genesis had okay music in my view, but there are plenty of worse music tracks out there. Like "Labyrinth Zone" from Sonic 1... my ears!!! Most Sonic music (except for the Knuckles Rap songs) I like, but that zone I just...didn't.

I really hate Licenced music in Video games, like some new age rap/hip-hop/RNB we hear in many EA games... its just crap!
The only games i can remember with licenced music, that are enjoyable to the ears, are the GTA games. Thats because the music is supposed to come from the car's radio you drive and it was a great idea, plus you could hear many differend stations...

Oh that, and i absolutely hate all that crappy techno/rap (with lyrics cometimes) music that most new generation sonic games have.... Megadrive sonic games had great music style, the new musicians in Sonic Team need to be fired :p

To me.....I would have to vote for most of the Genesis/Megadrive games, the soundchip was really bad and the music was all clunky and screechy: I tried out Streets of Rage 3 and I just had to delete it; it was so horrible...

I'm sure somebody's going to accuse me of trolling or flamebaiting or something silly, but One Winged Angel drives me up a wall. I nearly bloodied a friend's nose for humming it for too long in my apartment.
No trolling there, I want to just....AGHA! STRANGLE!
Sorry, but I HATE when my friend hums or even SINGS one winged angel (with latin lyrics)!
It drives me nuts. It's a very nice song, but not when hummed.

I love castlevania music, but the gameboy games just don't need to be heard.

oh for me it has to be the malo mart theme from the legend of zelda the twilight princess.

gudo valley theme in ocarina of time.

Wizards & Warriors on NES. The "you're about to die" theme. Damn annoying!

Shaq Fu. It was the same goddamn song EVERY TIME!!!!

the whole Yoshi's story soundtrack...
It was driving me nuts!

F355

I'd say the whole crazy frog noisetrack (well you realy can't call it a soundtrack can you) is more annoying than that.

hmm... well, I can't really say much video game music annoys me... except for maybe some stuff in Pikmin 2. I really don't like the Submerged Castle music. but it doesn't really annoy me; it just makes me really nervous. I usually mute the TV when I do that place, even though you can turn off the music, I don't like how the Waterwraith sounds. that thing scares me so bad... >___< I especially hate it when it drops in out of nowhere and crushes your Pikmin... D:

...yeah. ^^;;

Donkey Kong 64, from the AWFUL rap to all of the voices of DK's Relatives, to the dull stage music, yep the N64s death sentence right there, lol well not really but it was still pretty bad, "Cmon cranky, take it to the fridge!" that sums it up right there. Hope that wasnt too bad for a first post.
While a lot of the music was horrible (some that come to mind are Candy's place, the DK Rap, and OrangSprint), some of it was sheer brilliance. Some of the level music wasn't too good (Gloomy Galleon? No thanks.), but others (Fungi Forest, Hideout Helm, Crystal Caves) were great.

Though, it's all about opinion.


Also, XyCkO, I recently downloaded the Yoshi's Story soundtrack. I know it's horrible, but it's grown on me. It's not that bad after a while.

gudo valley theme in ocarina of time.

That's "Gerudo"
I loved that theme XD


I find the bgms in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire a bit obnoxious at times. Over half the time I would play, I'd just turn the volume all the way down.

There's a game I once played that had extremely repetitive tracks, I can't remember now but it stunk. Another one is Morrowind. Yeah it's a badass RPG and all, but the bgms get tiresome. =\
Last but not least, Streets of Rage for Sega Game Gear. I still have it, and it still sucks arse. )=

Spyro the Dragon
I was racking my brains to actually think of some truly awful music but i'll second that one.


Diddy Kong Racing for N64 >.>

I also have to say that after playing Banjo + Kazooie again, I absolutely hate most of the music in it. It's too nice and childish now. I wish the composer a painful death
Omg NOOOOOOO!!!! Can't believe that... but it's understandable, yet those are some of my favorite soundtracks for nostalgic reasons. but shame on u for cursing them, the theming of the composition is awesome!! :(

What annoys me mostly is LACK of music, there are numerous older games for 8bit and 16-bit systems that sometimes truly just have 1 s%@*ty 2/4-bar loop playing, just saddens me. Like Friday the 13th on NES, just 1 track on the whole game, playing repeatedly... jesus.

Many ppl will probably cuss me for this as there seems to be one hell of a FF fan gathering here but... fair enough Nobuo Uematsu is a genius but that damn chocobo music on FF7... *hides*

hmm... well, I can't really say much video game music annoys me... except for maybe some stuff in Pikmin 2. I really don't like the Submerged Castle music. but it doesn't really annoy me; it just makes me really nervous. I usually mute the TV when I do that place, even though you can turn off the music, I don't like how the Waterwraith sounds. that thing scares me so bad... >___< I especially hate it when it drops in out of nowhere and crushes your Pikmin... D:


Yeah..I HATE that level...especially when you don't have the Solar System.

As for annoying, I hated the Bullet Witch theme song. Not that it's a bad song, but there's this electronicanoise that's on the edge of my hearing range... Oh. And just about every vocal with the exception of Xensaga and FF.

Sinking Old Sanctuary in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Not because of the music itself because it's a great piece, but because it's used in no less than FIVE areas of the castle!

Another annoying tune would definitely be Poison Mind from the original Castlevania.

A couple sound effects first

The stupid beeping heart warning in All the Zelda games
Resident Evil 4 "Leon Help" *smashes head off a wall*

Music wise
RC Pro Am intro theme. I liked the game just the title was so scratchy
Blades of Steel

Sing Star is kind of bad considering you sing your own game music... :P

Since no one has mentioned this game yet and I suspect very few people have actually played this game (I hate being old!) I'll go ahead and say it:
A boy and his blob.
Thank you and good night.

mega man 2 when you have the game genie in
-- the game genie seems to screw up the music in the game

Back to The Future for NES....grrrr.

I'm sure somebody's going to accuse me of trolling or flamebaiting or something silly, but One Winged Angel drives me up a wall. I nearly bloodied a friend's nose for humming it for too long in my apartment.
Haha, that's hilarious. I don't like the original version, but I'm a fan of The Black Mages' arrangement that was in Advent Children. But if I knew someone that hummed that, I don't think I would like it either.


I would have to say Rygar on the (Nes) every song was horrible.
Save for one track (the one that's used in the caves), I'm with you on that. I remebered reading something stating that Rygar music was critically acclaimed, and the first thought that popped into my mind was "...uhm, why?"


LOLOLOL Friday The 13th was one of the dumbest games. Is there any way to beat that game?
Surprisingly, yes. I saw a tool-assisted speedrun of it, and long story short, you find the fire, run into Jason, and kill him again. And again. And again. After the third time, he'll stay dead.

... Or will he?! :O

I don't think there's any specific strategies to follow for that game though. Reading the author's notes for the TAS, the game is one of the most random games ever. Where the counselors are, the items that you get, even where Jason pops up are all completely random, so it's not surprising that most people haven't even killed Jason the first time around.


I'm sure someone will agree with me when I say all of the Knuckles levels music in Sonic Adventure 2 was really bad. Seriously, Sonic + any kind of rap = really bad game music.
I don't particularly care for the lyrics — then again, that can be said for most of the song lyrics in the Sonic series — but I like the melodies of the Knuckles tracks, especially Aquatic Mine and his remixed theme. But then again...


Cool topic, but I think "Birthday Cake" from Jet Set Radio Future HAS to be considered one of the most painfully annoying tracks off all time. [...] For a game with such great music, it seems an odd choice of track.
...I like this song. :P I agree with the fact that it sounds out of place in JSRF though; compared to "Fly Like a Butterfly" and "Teknopathetic", it really sounds like crap.

And now, for my contribution:

Most of the music in Phantasy Star III make me want to hurt something. It's odd too, because the title screen music is one of the best tracks that I've ever heard in a video game.

Edit: Also, whoever made the lone track for Hydlide needs a boot to the face. Battletoads style.

Front Mission 3

The original Pokemon and the Pokemon Gold and Silver soundtracks. GOD, the music on those games was annoying! Once they upgraded to GBA and then to the DS, the music got SO much better

Since no one has mentioned this game yet and I suspect very few people have actually played this game (I hate being old!) I'll go ahead and say it:
A boy and his blob.
Thank you and good night.
Dude, nobody mentioned it 'cause the music in that is AWESOME! How can you not laugh your ass off listening to it? I'd bust a nut if I ever found a porno remix of the song.

Now if you want annoying music, I got the shittiest shit that ever shat:
Chrono Cross - Battle Theme
I suppose the battle music served as a warning for players to quit the game immediately. The greatest regret of my life is that I didn't follow it... That, and the mouth-sores.

Guilty Gear games or hell any game with Metal in it ,crap is annoying ,and ear grating.

The pause "music" of the original Battletoad for NES...

Music in Bandai Games. they sound robotic and dumb.

well does that include namco since they have merged?

I was racking my brains to actually think of some truly awful music but i'll second that one.



Omg NOOOOOOO!!!! Can't believe that... but it's understandable, yet those are some of my favorite soundtracks for nostalgic reasons. but shame on u for cursing them, the theming of the composition is awesome!! :(

What annoys me mostly is LACK of music, there are numerous older games for 8bit and 16-bit systems that sometimes truly just have 1 s%@*ty 2/4-bar loop playing, just saddens me. Like Friday the 13th on NES, just 1 track on the whole game, playing repeatedly... jesus.

Many ppl will probably cuss me for this as there seems to be one hell of a FF fan gathering here but... fair enough Nobuo Uematsu is a genius but that damn chocobo music on FF7... *hides*


whats wrong with the chocobo music... i love those songs.. so cheerful and such.. lol

Dude, nobody mentioned it 'cause the music in that is AWESOME! How can you not laugh your ass off listening to it? I'd bust a nut if I ever found a porno remix of the song.

Now if you want annoying music, I got the shittiest shit that ever shat:
Chrono Cross - Battle Theme
I suppose the battle music served as a warning for players to quit the game immediately. The greatest regret of my life is that I didn't follow it... That, and the mouth-sores.

Ok I'll admit it, the opening song to "A boy and his Blob" is kind of cute.
However, that's really the only real music the game ever had! The rest
of the 'songs' consisted of random clicks, beeps, and whistles.
What's ironic is the fact that from this game came one of my favorite remixes from OCR: Cyborg Blobby OCRemix by Mazedude. The guy managed to take all those annoying clicks, beeps, etc and mixing it with the opening
theme create on of the most creative and amusing remixes I have ever heard.
Yeah. I will agree that the battle song for Crono Cross kind of sucked though.

Yeah. I will agree that the battle song for Crono Cross kind of sucked though.
Holy mother of hell, just kind of? Haha. And I do agree that the Chocobo music in FF7 was a bit annoying. Actually, music in most PS1 games makes me shudder now after enjoying the deliciousness of PS2/PS3.. Mm..

Hey! I didn't get to play much of Crono Cross and I try not to think of the music or it makes my head hurt. (well except "time's Scar") And, did you have to bring up the chocobo theme from 7? Actually I was rather disapointed with the various Maester Seymour themes. It could have sounded alot more sinister . Intead it came out sounding mimimalistic, and hard on the ears. It sounded like a PS1 game when it was a PS2 game.

THAT I can agree with you on... The Seymour themed music really did make me want to cry. Everything else was okay though. Then again, some of the music in FFX-2 was crap.. But most of the game was anyway. -cough-

I'm surprised to see some great soundtracks mentioned here. Diddy Kong Racing? Silent Hill 3? Banjo-Kazooie?! Those soundtracks were awesome!

Anyway, the soundtrack to Friday the 13th can drive anyone crazy. The game itself has like three different songs, one of which repeats as you play.

Over.

And over.

And over.

And over again.

However, there's a remix at OverClocked that's pretty awesome.

Other soundtracks I hated:

Yoshi's Island DS - I didn't HATE this soundtrack, exactly. However, compared to how awesome the soundtrack to the original Yoshi's Island was, Yoshi's Island DS was a HUGE let-down.

Donkey Kong Country 3 - Compared to the first two DKC games, this was just pitiful. Not nearly as memorable.

Sonic Spinball - Most of the soundtrack is great. There is one track, though, that makes me want to tear off my ears: the options menu.

There are probably more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Ah yes. That soundtrack. Friday the 13th was bad.
Along those lines you also have a Nightmare on Elm Street,
and Back to the future which if I'm remembering correctly
had nothing that sounded like the Back to the future movie music.
Oh and you think Friday the 13th was bad on repetition, Try
Ghostbusters on the Nes.
It the same one song!
over and over again!
From beginning to end.

HOSHIGAMI

worst evar. ARGH.

Hmm Hoshigami huh? I never heard of that game before
(sifts for soundtrack.)
Ah here it is. OK, this doesn't sound too bad. Maybe a bit too
ambitious on the synthesizers but nothing horrifying about it.
(Gets to track 3 and beyond)
........... : (
Yeah, never mind, you're right . This is utter shit right here.

XG3 had really annoying menu music, sounds like someone is scraping metal or something

........... : (

Take into consideration the long ass battles played with that music. Overly used synthesizers TIMES INFINITY. @__x

BTW tha game had potential but...then it just went BLAH.

Final Fantasy X-2 Except Trail of Wind and Eternity.

The whole KISS Psycho Circus soundtrack.

You'd at least expect some songs of the band which it constantly refers to.

No such bloody thing.

Return of the Phantom, which is a candidate for "most rare/unheard of game" in this thread. :)

I'd say the most annoying game music would be rap in Ar tonelico. There's some beautiful BEAUTIFUL music in there. And then all of a sudden... rap.

W
T
F

It feels totally out of place and ruined every piece of music it was used in. I don't like rap in my RPGs, but if it has to be used, it has to at least fit in with the setting. Like in Persona 3.

Call of Duty 2 wasn't annoying. Just disappointing for me.

The metalstuff from Dynasty Warriors series, it made the cool chinesse background music inaudibly.

I'd have to throw my lot in with... almost about every game that EA makes. This is the only reason why I'm grateful for the Xbox's generally-ignored feature of custom soundtracks.

I agree with that bit about the cusom soundtracks. It's a widely ignored and great feature. Other systems should learn from it.

I think I appreciated it most when playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I hardly like hip hop, and that game had an endless amount of it.

The most annoying soundtrack (off the top of my head) is half of Jet Set Radio Future. I say half because half of it is excellent, but the latter half is completely absurd.

My favourite GAME SERIES IS Metal Gear!!! B U T the score of SONS OF LIBERTY IS PURE CRAP. I loved Tappys work for the first( third) one, but the MGS 2 Soundtrack has just that great Theme in a really good arranged version...but the rest.......

The Ymir Forest theme from Tales of Phantasia.
Malduke from Wild Arms.

OH GOD THAT SONG DROVE ME CRAZY

EDIT: It's a pity, really, because both games have absolutely gorgeous soundtracks and then ARGH.

although this may of been mentioned, but remembering the friday the 13th game on NES, I can't help but keep on shuddering on the music that played over, and over, and over again

But the Forest Temple theme Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time made me want to put a bullet through my skull. Not only is it bad, it got stuck in my head for a while...*clutches haed and twitches as returns into his mind again*

Bingo Highway ( I dont know if its the right name) from Sonic Heros, the second section of the Casino Stage.... I remember that a friend was playing that level at 5 AM, and it finished it in 30 minutes T_T.... I had to listen to that crazy music for 30 minutes, have mercy please!!!!

Devil May Cry 3's Music was only good in the cut scenes and on level 1 and 9 (At the beginning before it stops the beautiful goth music and vocals.) afterwords, when playing it, all you hear are thrashing, metal, and some sitorted vocals that jsut suck ass. But the cutscene music, and the last fight scene music with Vergil are fantastic. Not to mention the Main Theme song, "Devils Never Cry". It's amazing how much this one OST has such crappy and good music on it at the same time.

tekken tag tournament.

it's full of robotic voices repeating nonsense over and over.

it's like a sabliminal message or something.

the other tekkens have good music though.

FF7 One-Winged Angel...it made my ears bleed.
Why so many people like it so much is beyond me >_<.

kingdom hearts- the corrupted

FF7 One-Winged Angel...it made my ears bleed.
Why so many people like it so much is beyond me >_<.

Because it has a very good composition and it's eay to remember and also dramatic. In your case it's really just a matter of taste. You are one out of two people I've met who never liked it, and that's out of a very huge number of people. I hope you at least liked the remixed rock metal version from Advent Children.

I got pretty fucking annoyed by "Blue Fields" during FF8, especially because I think I spent God-knows-how-long doing every single sidequest. I remember those plucky little notes every time that song looped...

Somebody already mentioned Donkey Kong 64. I'd also say the Adventure Island soundtracks. . .

Generic "peaceful town" console RPG tracks make me physically ill. Most such games have at least one.

Generic "peaceful town" console RPG tracks make me physically ill. Most such games have at least one.

Yeah, like "Kids Run through the City" from Final Fantasy VI. As much as I love that soundtrack, that kind of stuff grates on me, too.

Tekken 5. whole soundrack is just annoying.

90% of the music from FFX-2, and all of the music of FFXII ,except the remade Nobuo tracks and kiss me goodbye

90% of the music from FFX-2, and all of the music of FFXII ,except the remade Nobuo tracks and kiss me goodbye

Really? All of FFXII's music? I rather enjoyed the soundtrack. Its certainly much different from more "classic" FF music, but much of the music is made to be listened to for a long time (large zones), and for that, some of it is quite good. Now I wouldn't buy the soundtrack, but overall, I rather enjoyed it.

omg.. annoying video game music you can find in the old Ghostbusters games, because it's only one and the same song repeating on and on and on... the whole game.. I get mad again when I think back...^^

Top 5:
Hitman: Bloodmoney
Lineage2
Driver 3
TimeSplitters2
Battlefield Vietnam

I've heard many crappy pieces, but the one that stood of from the rest was......
The End of the World from SONIC the Hedgehog (hate to say it ;(() - it lasts over 5 minutes and instead of some dramatic composition it's only one piece being repeated through whole track.

most annoying huh?.......probably gonna have to go with the battle theme for Xenosaga one great game but whether boss or not the music was the same always..except for the final boss it never changed.

Love the game though still

I loved FFXII's soundtrack. And I did buy it.. Haha. I'm a soundtrack otaku though, so I can't go without buying them. The only Final Fantasy soundtracks I don't own are the very old skool ones.. And IX. I don't like IX.

This is my first post! YAY!
Anywho, the most annoying video music in my opinion is when you pause the game in Wario World.ARGH!

Most prime 8-bit RPG MIDI audio files bug me, also first post.

halo soundtrack, actually halo in general is annoying. the creators try to make it so epic. its just bad.

I watched my roommate play this game Syberia, and the music and sound effects in it were some of the worst I've heard

The Space Pirates battle theme from Metroid Prime 1, it was so obnoxious that every time I was around their areas I had to turn the music volume off.

Also the battle music of Phantom Ganon in Wind Waker.

The other probably most annoying theme I heard was the main theme of Super Mario Strikers - sounded so repetitive, worser than many pieces from NES

The thing about music...

If you like it, it sounds amazing!
If you don't like it, it sounds annoying.
Thus, it is difficult to say which one is good and which one isn't. It depends on the listener him or herself. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

For me, annoying music means heavy electronics... loud, ear-crushing drums... with no melody, no tunes whatsoever. I think a lot of the games nowadays have that, rather than a sweeping orchestrated music which melts in my ear.

Music from FEAR

In Mega Man Legends, I hate the repetitiveness of that song that plays in that town on Kattelox Island (the first one). Over and over...it's so annoying.

halo soundtrack, actually halo in general is annoying. the creators try to make it so epic. its just bad.

I agree ,I was amazed at how generic the soundtrack for halo was..

dunno if anyone put star tropics in but...yeah star tropics

not that its THAT bad...its just the music plays the entire freaking game

The music fro Tekken 4n never else listen such shit.

The character select screen music from Marvel VS Capcom 2. Shut it up shut it up shut it up.

Anything in Sonic games past Adventure (Excluding a few from Sonic Advance 1 2 and 3)

Generally, I don't find anything THAT horrible, but the stupid sound effect in pokemon games whenever you move the crusor..... -twitches-

I love FFX's music, but "Cloister of Trials" can burn in hell.

Dunno if anyone's ever played The Hunt for Red October for the NES, but that is quite possibly the worst "music" ever put in a game. Here, I found someone playing it on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCAG1ilw_sM

Wait till you get by the intro to the actual game. If you thought the music in the intro was bad, just wait. The music is so bad, there is actually a way to turn it off with the NES controller(hit pause and A). Try to watch the whole video without turning your speakers off. I had a headache by the time 3 minutes rolls around.

Both the Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's battle themes from Wind Waker sounded extremely obnoxious to my ears, Nintendo's pretty bad at making boss battle music in most Zelda games.

^__^ Oh jeez the music in the Pokemon games are the most annoying.....The ones for the NINTENDO DS I must turn the volume all the way down its gets so annoying after a few seconds lol ^__^

90% of the music from FFX-2, and all of the music of FFXII ,except the remade Nobuo tracks and kiss me goodbye

I absolutley agree, although I like the piano theme opening of X-2 very much. It kinda gives false hope, right?

I also wanted to add something else... I apologieze in advance for what I'm going to say, but... Although Chrono Cross is my favorite soundtrack ever, there is one tiny black spot in it.... and it happens to be the random encounter (which is not so random at all, actually). Is it just me, or is that the most annoyng mellody ever? I know there is a whole lot of annoying stuff, but this... this is just like somebody is playing a violin with my nerves instead of wires.

All the music from the Final Fantasy games.
EXCEPT Final Fantasy IV, amazing sound track on that and everything about the game is a masterpiece.

Yoshi's Story the title theme was just triple cringe

Final Fantasy 7, because it's so overhyped and I can't hear it anymore - specially cause it's one of the worst compositions from Uematsu. v_v

I also agree with the post sonic adventure games excluding Sonic Advance series.. They all have annoying music. SA1 and 1 had great music and suddenly it changed sooo much..ouch my ears !

I know there's going to be much disagreement with me, but I did NOT like the Kingdom Hearts soundtracks. I'm sorry. There were one or two tracks I might have enjoyed, but the rest? All sounded like eachother to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore.

I also disliked the FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus soundtrack. |:

Someone sharing my oppinion! =O

Marry me. Just do it now. No questions.

The music in Smackdown HCTP is loud, obnoxious, and overall annoying.

hmm... okay, you're right at one point. Now that I remembered it, I did feel annoyed, but I thought it was the lousy monster desing and useless summons....lol
But you must admit that the music was fair in the better and more important parts of the game. It kinda matches the annoyance of the levels it plays on.

Dirge... I hate the whole game. The music? I don't even remember it, thus, I can't say that I was annoyed.

Marry me. Just do it now. No questions.

Okay.

There are a lot of NES games that have music that annoys me, like Bionic Commando. I like the music from most other games I play, though. Probably because they're usually RPGs

Porky Pigs Haunted Holliday IS Annoying

Defintly Road Runner For SNES
its piercing

Was Doubleposting really necessary? Besides.. GAWD, make your sig smaller!!

Mission: Impossible (N64) and PSX too from what I've heard by Mike Pummell, utterly craptastic except for one song.

Perfect Dark Zero by David Clynick - meth and crack addicts going insane on synthesizers.

I find that if I like the game, the music - whether good or bad - grows on me.

I think the same applies to music in general. Even if I don't like a particular band, if I listen to them long enough, the music grows on me.

... of course this is for me.

I agree with your remark- this is true OF ALL FORMS OF MUSIC.

Age of Mythology. I was playing it the other day and the sound was literally a cacophony of different instruments playing together. It was horrible.

final fantasy 3's "wrong" and "good" tunes wherever you enter a town/castle.

specially the "good" tune, its WAY repetitive and almost every damn castle/town has it, why wouldnt they put individual songs for each town?

Every DK Game & Yoshi Theme....i hate them!

It's a bit of a challenge to come up with a piece of music that genuinely annoys me, let a alone an entire soundtrack as others have done. Although if repetition is the case, I can certainly go with a few of the earlier FFs.

Oh. Persona 3's soundtrack impresses me not at all with it's mixture of J-pop and Hip-hop. It's terrible.


I agree with your remark- this is true OF ALL FORMS OF MUSIC.

I'd say exactly the opposite. The more I hear a tune, the less I want to hear it in the future.*





* See "One Winged Angel" + remixes.

I think most people on here havnt ever played a game with truly bad music.

xevious. has only one song thats like a 3 second loop. and its a game you can play for hours so it gets really anoying.
Rygar for NES. The boss music wich is more like a looping sound effect is really ear destroying.

Both are great games tho.

Rygar does have pretty annoying music. . .

The Third Malformation Of "G", from RE2:

Awful, I don't know what was Capcom thinking.

Rygar does have pretty annoying music. . .

Thou shalt be slain for saying such blasphemous words!!! :P

Those songs are nothing compared to the annoyingness of the Sonic Battle game for gameboy. Check it out on FF shrine. It's HORRIBLE!

The songs on the newer sonic games...Fucking lame in many ways...If I hate anything more than songs that rip off other songs, its songs like the "butt rock" on those fucking sonic games (excluding the genesis titles).

Meh... Sonic isn't what he used to be, and neither is the franchise. A Tragic fate to be following Crash, Alex Kidd, Bonk, and so many others... On the bright side, he ain't Bubsy.

One game soundtrack I hated had to be three stooges for the NES. And it's bloody obvious why... they had only one track throughout the entire game!

To the people on page two (the last few posts): Do not speak ill of the Duffster!!!!

Tekken 4, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the later Sonic games. Awful, just awful.

i have finally beaten castlevania dracula X, and i must say this is the ost i have come to dislike above all.
the arranged music dont do the original score justice.
it just sounds plain awful.
with only ONE exception: the ending. that chorus made it sound more epic than the original one can ever be.

as for the other tracks, they just suck, specially the first, and third "normal" stage. bloody tears doesnt sound that bad, but i didnt like it.
dance of illusions (vs dracula) is the worst arrangement of all.

Also, Adventures of Tom Sawyer

virtua tennis 3 - so horrible

The Third Malformation Of "G", from RE2:

Awful, I don't know what was Capcom thinking.
Not at all. But the execution could have been better :)

you may be very right but you can't say they didn't make up for it with Symphony of the night...I'm actually getting off topic; I just wanted to point that out. Symphony of the night fucking rocked in many ways!

<*^_^*>

Something that really annoys me is the music in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. You hear it so much that it just gets annoying...

you may be very right but you can't say they didn't make up for it with Symphony of the night...I'm actually getting off topic; I just wanted to point that out. Symphony of the night fucking rocked in many ways!

<*^_^*>


and still does.
however, sotn was just an extra in dracula X, whereas the main game is the remastered rondo of blood, of which im criticizing its score.
none of the tracks in sotn was remastered, only "i am the wind" was replaced by a symphony.

Not sure if this has been said already, way too lazy to check the entire thread, but the final boss music of Legend of Dragoon drove me nuts, I really wanted to drive a knife into my ears to prevent myself from hearing the same 59 second or so tune repeat itself over and over through 4 different forms.

I hated most of the music in Ninja Gaiden Sigma...

I have a pun: SONIC GOES BOOM!

Ghostbusters on NES, same tune over and over again!

Yeah I agree with Sonic tunes. I'll usually find the odd track I like in the newer games but it isn't the same as the older games.

Sonic CD (Japanese Soundtrack) is one of my favorite soundtracks from any video games. The Levels Past and Future remixes were well executed and then Sega of America decided to make a shit soundtrack in comparison which didn't sound like a 16 bit Sonic game whatsoever.

As a Final Fantasy XI player, I find the Campaign track very irritating as it is now scarred into my head!

@CATASTROPHE

Did you mean the PSP remake soundtrack? If so, I agree with most of the soundtrack. I prefer the original PC Engine version anyway!

super smash bros brawl for the wii has this operatic music theme song that is embarassing...it makes me cringe

and yoshis story for n64, with the baby vioces going na, nana na, naaaa... what were they thinkin!
^___________^

4th or 5th mission of Halo 2, where you have to escape the station as The Arbiter, walking up with all the flood passing by.
You hear false vocals and a very scary beat, it creeps me out, but it goes faster and faster. Which makes it very annoying.

I use to listen to VG Music almost every single day of the week while running in my basement but it was almost driving me insane so my dad had turn off the music for a little awhile. It helps me a lot that I am taking a break from video game music but I still want to listen to some more if I get the chance and repeat the experience that I had in the game in real life (Not that I will start something like Columbine now). I got get my mind in focus because it is almost difficult for me to forget some themes and also my dad say that video game music isn't real music. I don't really agree with this! It may not have words but it was the best music I listen to anyway.

I know I'm gonna get yelled at for this,

but I think Mario Kart: Double Dash had the most horrific music!>.<

It just doesn't sound right. The other Mario games had better music though, especially Mario Galaxy! PERFECT!!^^

1942, anyone?

I would have to say most music from the NES was bad, I mean there were some great classics, but most of it was just annoying beeps. Of course the system had audio limitations and I really can't blame the composers for it.

I would have to agree with you on that. I did like the Double Dragon theme though.

Mia's theme from the original .hack series really bothers me. x3

I play it all the time to test myself, and to bug the hell out of my friends.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG2Ry9EtO74

For all you curious people. =3

the NES version of Captain Planet..I remember playing that as a kid and thinking "How many cats did they strangle to make this BGM?" :)

Ontarama OST. Well, it's not so bad for a cute japanese game, but for a music game SUCKS! I don' understand how can this game have size 131 MB when it uses crappy midi songs. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan was 64 MB which has songs with vocals, so how does this happens with Ontarama? And by the way, the game is good only for an hour. After that it gets boring. Maybe because it's not as challenging as other music games.

There's a LOT of NES/SNES era music that gets on my nerves...hmmm
Too many to think of right now...

The Ring Terror's Realm has the most annoyinng music like the office song.

Simple and Clean - Kingdom Hearts

The most absolute dreadful song ever to reach my ears. I honestly can't say whether its the tune or the lyrics that drive me up the wall but I am convinced Disney had a direct hand in some portion of the production of that song.

You should see the video to it, plain weird....

I can't stand Mario Kart: Double Dash's music at all. It's repetitive and seems to involve the same instruments in every tune, plus it sounds like it was composed for toddlers watching Playhouse Disney or Nick Jr.

No thanks.

ugh. Sonic Chronicles. I have to keep the sound off when I play it. I found it makes me grind my teeth when I hear it.

I hate all the licensed hip hop and rap music in most games, particularly need for speed carbon speed.
However when it comes to original music I hate some of the songs of Diddy Kong Racing. Hell, some of them even have children singing lalalala with it :O
Also the kid icarus music is hurting my eyes with those high notes. It's also that i'm sensitive to high frequencies.


I like the songs that are often associated as annoying(Glitzville from Paper Mario 2, Mirror B Battle Music from Pokemon Colloseum). Luckily i haven't seen anyone mentioning these.

Every DK Game & Yoshi Theme....i hate them!

Donkey Kong Country? Cave Dweller Concert? Aquatic Ambiance? Forest Interlude? Stickerbrush Symphony? Pretty much any song from the first two DKCs? (haven't played the third) IMO you can't be serious.

Really hate Dynasty Warriors series's battle musics..In a historical battle Rock n Roll!..Nonsense>:O

The Theme song for the menu of FFXI...

650 days playtime now I hear this one song and you cant turn it down, you never miss it cause its first song of day to turn game on and you have never got the TV controller to mute that junk, just totally a monotonous piece of music that is boring...

dear square: we know you have millions of songs ! please just erase one ....

http://rgonots-sylph.net/cpg1410/albums/userpics/10002/icon_oldman.gif

The song that the perverted teacher in Rule of Rose plays when it's cleaning time... OMG it's annoying!

Bingo Highway ( I dont know if its the right name) from Sonic Heros, the second section of the Casino Stage.... I remember that a friend was playing that level at 5 AM, and it finished it in 30 minutes T_T.... I had to listen to that crazy music for 30 minutes, have mercy please!!!!

This. Especially since Casino Park (or whatever the first Casino stage is called) had AWESOME music.

1942, anyone?
thread over.

you won the game.

in related news:
true crime L.A`s "radio", i simply HATE that type of music.

and im sure i might be crucified for this but...

aside from the main theme, the entire ost of MGS2, SPECIALLy "yell dead cell"

i agree crash bandicoot series have dissapointing OSTS

The Baroque soundtrack is easily the most annoying of all. The Siren series, too... the next worst music ever.

Bram Stoker's Dracula for the NES

zzzz
