Top 5 SONGS in a Genre

[AlexanderWOLF]

I think this needs its own topic. When I was trying to do my Top 5s, I thought of a lot of sweet songs, but sometimes bands put out 1-2 great songs, but overall, they aren't that great. That's why we NEED THIS. Also im using genres really loosely, sorry if it annoys you.

I'm going to start off fun/dumb

Good1. The first 3 on my list are non negotiable. Those last 2...

I could make a top 5 list from any of the games mentioned.
Plus Megaman 2, Super Mario World, A Link To The Past, Super Metroid, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Evermore, FFIV,V,VI...maybe I'm 16bit game biased.

But CT alone probably has the best singular OST of any game, any platform...and does so with chiptune synth arrangements.

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK A DIVERSE LIST.
