I'm doing two: Songs and soundtrack pieces.
IN TOP FIVE ORDER:
5. Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home
Discovered this song thanks to 9, one of my favorite movies. And it's an awesome song to boot.
4. Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
Choirs and metal riffs. What's not to like?
3. My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
WHEN I WAS
A YOUNG BOY
2. Boston - More Than a Feeling
I don't actually have anything to say here.
1. Nightwish - Escapist
a nightingale in a golden cage~
And now for soundtracks because I feel like it. I did one per franchise because otherwise I'd be sorting for days.
5. Two Steps From Hell - Protectors of the Earth
Since I can't just say "literally everything they've ever produced" and call it a day, I picked the one with the highest play count in my iTunes.
4. Fate Stay Night - Emiya, Movie Version
I am praying the new show does Emiya well. It's probably the franchise's signature theme, and it's really good.
3. Kingdom Hearts - Hollow Bastion
The music for this level is so good I honestly thought it would be the last level of the game when I first played it.
2. Pokemon Gold/Silver - Champion Theme
God, they knew what they were doing.
1. Mass Effect 2 - Suicide Mission
Incredible last level, even more incredible soundtrack. I could listen to this for hours on end and not get bored.
