I nominate Yoshi's Island DS...sorry, but the original Yoshi's Island for the Super NES had a perfect soundtrack compared to the sequel : (

DON'T BE! I fully agree with you on that! The soundtrack for it is very weak.....

The Original had awesome Boss Music in it, the DS one has nothing in it to give you the feel that your up against a Boss.

Sonic Unleashed's night time stages when you run into enemies.

I am way too laxy to read all the posts but I would vote the themes in brawl from Animal Crossing drive me absolutely crazy... Oh and your video was removed?? what was it?? And about Yoshi's Island DS... I agree it wasn't near the music from the original, but It is not near the most annoying VGM.

I absolutely hated the main battle theme in chrono chross. It's so strange considering the rest of the soundtrack is pretty damn good. Also, I didnt care for ff VIII's main battle theme either. Man with a machine gun should have been the main battle them ;D

I agree with the earlier post on the "Birthday Cake" song from JSRF. It can make your ears bleed. However, even worse is some parts of the US "Sonic CD." It just didn't belong in that game, that soundtrack. However, there were songs on the Japanese version that annoyed me as well. Also, this might just be my GD-ROM but the Colosseum music on the original Soul Calibur for Dreamcast sounds like a looping audio crash. Again, it might just be my disc, but AAAAAAAARGH.

no... she cant act either.

i got hours of fun from lizzie mcguire


..when i was like 8

The music from the 32X port of Doom. Good lord it sounds horrendous, that port would have been a good one if the creators had more time to work on it.

To me, nothing beats the 8 second 'music' during the character selection screen for Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

"I wanna take you for a ride.....*funky junk*......I wanna take you for a ride......"

"Sorry for bump"


I hated Gilligan's Island music on NES. It loops over and over again.
The Super Mario Bros. Castle Theme when you try to fight bowser. Again it loops over and over again.
Rap music sucks ass.

The most irritating game soundtrack I've listened to in my gaming experience is from Need For Speed Underground 2, mainly because it's composed almost entirely of rap music. Darn, I've always had to switch off that godamn music player before playing the game. That's why I don't like these racing games much...

I absolutely hated the main battle theme in chrono chross. It's so strange considering the rest of the soundtrack is pretty damn good.

I thought more than half of the tracks of that game were mere average. CC has probably one of the most overrated soundtracks of all time. :ashine:

Seriously.

It would be easy to construct an endless list of bland and forgettable soundtracks, but few come to mind that are patently offensive to the ears. So here goes:

I would always have to turn the volume way down when playing "Glitter Gulch Mine" in Banjo-Tooie. Generalizing, any track that features a main instrument that is "plucked" is probably not on my list of favorites, particularly if it's a MIDI composition.

Yoshi's Story's main theme (as everyone else has mentioned) consists of lyrics that are incomprehensible, shrill, and highly repetitive, but this is quite understandable given the target audience.

Excitebike 64 had some great music, but the audio quality was horrendous! Some of the sound effects were seriously like nails on a chalkboard (such as when the screen would wipe black). Also, the theme that plays when you select your biker was a bit too noisy for my liking, considering that it starts out with about 4 different engines revving up.

Wave Race: Blue Storm had a decent soundtrack that was unfortunately marred by some terrible voice acting, depending on who your "coach" was. Like many racing games of the day involving voiceovers, it was also quite repetitive.

Lastly, "Samus Vs Space Pirates" from Metroid Prime (though I loved the rest of the soundtrack). I can tolerate "chaotic disorder" in music, but the blend of instruments used here is about as cringe-inducing as the real-life LRAD (ironically used to repel real pirates).

Shit all of those are from Nintendo games, they were never too good at making music in my book... and man, "Samus Vs Space Pirates" I hated that track so much I always turned the music off whenever I was around Space Pirate premises.

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.

Probably for me i think Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on Sega Master System. That music drove me to the stage of turning te volume to zero, annoyed the hell out of me XD

oh jesus are you right teshy.
The most annoying music tends to be the most catchy.
Yugi oh duelist of the roses for example, i hate it but love it -_-'

i hate all driving game music, its all dance music, especially bad on need for speed undercover or midnight club or juiced games. ugh -_-'
Get someone to play an instrument for once, even gran turismo 4 expanded and put some james brown in their. hey, not everyones favourite but at least they trying.

I'd have to go with X-2's soundtrack. I mean sure there are worse games with worse soundtracks (NES games for example). But the thing with X-2 is it tricks you. It starts out with the beautiful 'Eternity - Memories of Lightwaves' but EVERY other song in the game is terrible (except the band member's reprise of Eternity). So X-2 wins the 'most annoying game music' just because of it's deception.

contra hard corps had some god awful music in there. I also find that the warioware soundtracks after the first were pretty annoying to listen to as well. all of sonic adventures 2 songs with lyrics in them were ass too, especially the one found in city escape.

As much as I love F-Zero GX's music, Like a Snake (Port Town) is okay, but gets irritating in the last lap.

Also, Sandopolis Zone Act 2 from Sonic & Knuckles, but that may be bias talking. I hate that stage.

I go for Koudelka's battle themes, I can't stand them XD, the game is supposed to give you some fear, but when you enter in a battle the music it ruins it all the atmosphere, that's my opinion, besides that, none other game comes to my mind, and I partially agree with the battle songs of Chrono Cross, the boss battle theme (between life and death) doesn't sound like boss battle, sounds more closely to a chase. The other battle songs are OK except "Dragon God", at a certain time of looping this song becomes hateful.

Ha. Koudelka's music is all right if you listen to it on its own. Not a "disaster," as it's been called. But I agree. In-game, going from the atmospheric walking-around music to the sharp plucked-string song is odd, to say the least.

It actually reminds me of The Spoony One's review of FFVIII when he talks about the music in one of the Laguna flashbacks and then shows clips from Star Wars Episode One...

Just looked it up and it's Part 9, found here: http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/category/final-fantasy-viii/

HAHAHAHAHA, It's really really funny, xD. Really piece of work.
After qui-gon falls the "9999" and then the fanfare was just great.

ape escape and tekken tag tournament. they both annoy me.

Most annoying is probably LocoRoco.

Hey, SMB2 ruled! >_>

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

Your absoluty correct this is the most annoying game of all time because of its soundtracks everytime I listen to them my blood pressure increases >_<

But the scariest game soundtracks I find are terminator 2 on the nes and gremlins 2 on nes too and zephon's cathedral for the soul reaver on ps1.

I would Have to say Dragon Power The same music through the whole game ARRGH!

Hm...Daikatana, anyone?

The town music from King's Quest V. It is just horrible.

I generally dislike most of the music in Super Mario Galaxy. I don't think it's bad music, but I really don't like most of it. (I do like the Bowser/Bowser Jr. level and battle music.)

Pretty much all of the chocobo music from the Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy VII is particularly egregious given how many chocobo songs there are.

Slide Show Part 1 and 2 from Final Fantasy VIII.

Theme of Elfe vocal version(s) from Before Crisis.

Has no one, talked of Crazy Bus, yet? :)

No, because that's good.

I know i'm going to be hated for this, but every time in Super Mario 64 when i'm in Dire Dire Docks i have to turn the sound down. i just can't stand the song it's not that it's terrible but its too sad for a game with a strong soundtrack, the cave theme and the staff roll are among my favorites, also someone actually doesn't like SMG's music? Wow O_o

I would have to say Metroid 2 for the GB. The first song is great, but what is left is pretty much beeps and bloops, and it sucks nuts.

agree on metroid 2, though not ALL of them are bad.
to me, back to the future for NES
dead or alive extreme 2, fucking commercial music.

Crash Twinsanity, hands down.
And that's just part of why I traded in that game.

i didnt like crash twinsanity either. didnt play it much, but knew it was bad cause whenever u died, u have to see the same cutscenes again. that got annoyin. not sure about the music though.

Most annoying one for me is the dwarf cave from Secret of Mana. All the other songs are awesome, but then I get to that town and aaaagghhh! ...My brother believes the Gold Saucer music might be an evolution of that track, lol.

The Last battle music in Legend of Dragoon. It's so horrible, predictable and stupid. And that battle was soooooo long

Action 52 (NES). Thread closed.

agree on metroid 2, though not ALL of them are bad.
to me, back to the future for NES
dead or alive extreme 2, fucking commercial music.

Hell yeah, Back to the Future has obnoxious music. Even more egregiously, from my understanding, there is only one song in the entire game.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day for SNES/Mega Drive. It has only one BGM that is repeated for 8-9 stages. Actually, this track is terrible, but it borders on "so bad it's good" territory ( YouTube - Terminator 2 Judgment Day SNES Music - In Game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDUybpdCTGE) ), something that can be also said for the intro music to Last Action Hero which is a bit similar ( YouTube - [Intro][SNES] Last Action Hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEb6wCbmD4s) ) Trashmania :)

Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode I

Final Fight 3... not only the music sucked, but it was annoying as hell, and repetitive.

Wow, hold your tongue knave, Final Fight 3 had some great tunes - not even close to being terrible or worthy of "most annoying."

Anyway, my vote goes to Baccla from Grandia 3:

YouTube - Top RPG VGM #89: Grandia 3 - Baccla (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUJfEBA76E)

You haven't heard shit until you've heard this.

No one's mentioned The Demon Rush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVpA9a9fu14) yet?

I nominate Demon Rush as well. Blargh.

Every single song in fucking Drakengard, it does a good job of getting the point across but damn it made an already pretty bad game just... terrible. I can't believe the one thing you need to achieve 100% completion is a rhythm game... the game implodes on its own irony.

Prepare to suffer...
HE-MAN for the Commodore 64!

convenient youtube link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U5e4EMpvF0)

If Action 52, glitches, and Action 52 glitches are excluded... I'd say that GODDAMN AWFUL low health chime in Pok�mon. ESPECIALLY the B/W version, which INTERRUPTS THE ACTUAL BATTLE MUSIC.

Probably the First Pikmin game except for the Credits and Creature Montage. The rest was just annoying. Good thing the music in the sequel was better.

The early pokemon games had some ear grinding sounds. But personally I hated some of the music in Jet Set Radio Future. The majority of the music in that game was interesting and fun to listen to, but man... some songs were not pleasant at all...

My vote goes to Action 52.

I despise Right (T?)Here Right Now from Sonic Rush, thanks to it's repetitious vocal work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsT2FiajyLQ&feature=related

Composed by Satan. Worst music I've ever heard on any 8-bit handheld.

I would say, besides the serious orchestra stuff, Bayanetta music is HORRIBLE

Half of the soundtrack from E.V.O: Search for Eden. Which is strange considering the other half is actually pretty good.

Xevious was pretty bad, it's just a 2 second loop all through the game.

Street Fighter IV(With the exception of Sagat and Rose's themes), SSFIV, SF X Tekken, the US Sonic CD soundtrack. And I don't considered licensed music in EA games soundtrack worthy, (I've had arguments about this in the past) and most FPS games have the most dull and generic soundtracks ever. Although I prefer Japanese made soundtracks over American made, there is a handful of good American stuff, notably Mass Effect 3 and the Halo series.

msx radio from grand theft auto 3.
i cant even consider THAT music.

ar tonelico series songs are good, yet the battle themes in ar tonelico 3 fails. A LOT. try listening to them and u'll get what I mean. The other songs in ar tonelico 3 sounds good tho.

Am I the only one around here who loves Marvel vs Capcom 2 OST?
A soundtrack, and a game, that i hate is Killer Instinct, that "Killer yeah yeah yeah" is so annoying.

Rayman 3 - incredibly dull and nothing stood out to me, except for the Hoodstomper boss, Teensie Highway and when you're fighting Hoodlums (being a fan of funk music)
Buck Bumble - more for its incredibly lame theme song (which is, of course, rap), whereas the rest of the ingame music is ambient techno

the song that plays in Pok�mon Black and White when your Pok�mon is on low health... ruins the entire battle music

not annoying enough? how about in the Pok�mon generation I-IV core games? constant beeping noise when your pok�mon is on low health, MAKE IT STOP

Terraria, awful as fuck

definitely not neotokyo.

The opening songs to "Trials: Evolution" and "Trials:Fusion". The most horrible songs I've ever heard. Bieber bad!

I Don't know, I really was dumbstruck how lackluster the Los Santos Rock Radio Playlist in GTA V was and is. Sure, there's "Danger Zone" (side-note: can GTA VI have Cheap Trick's "Mighty Wings"?), but UGGGHHHH, Yes's Way-Overplayed "Roundabout," just come-on! I even asked my old man and he said he BARELY ever heard it even when it was new, so why play it all the time, Rockstar? Sorry if it's just me, but my brother's copy must just hate us both, since it always plays the boring/moody/unfitting music more.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

AND THE SAME GOES FOR THAT CIRCLES IN THE SAND STUFF, TOO!

Pretty much any song that's basically a 5 second loop played over and over again (It's bad if you're going to be hearing it for at least a few minutes before another song plays, like during a stage). A couple of examples that I can think of would be Joke's End from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga & the Stage Select theme from DuckTales 1 (The original game for NES and Game Boy, not the "Remastered" remake).

I'm not very picky on video game music, but I'd say I don't like most rap songs, except from Sonic Adventure 2. I don't know why I don't like rap, I just don't like it.

Steamworld Dig's soundtrack.
