Now that someone said something nice, can we move on? Where’s that next Megapaluza installment? I want to see if Flame Mammoth’s stage is the next choice. (Additionally, don’t forget Avalanche Yeti from X8!)

I’m also a graduate from Harvard University with a PhD in quantum rocket physics theory.

He mentioned a few times how the song goes with the level. While I feel that Wily Stage 1 and 2 from Mega Man 2 is a great song, I don’t feel that it goes with those levels that well. It’s almost too epic for what you are doing. It’s not a perfect match if you ask me. Still, it might not be his number 1 pick and either way, it’s fine. It’s just his list, nothing official or anything.

It’s noteworthy because it’s a humongous list, not because it’s supposedly unbiased. There is no way to make an unbiased list of musical ratings for reasons inherent to what humans are.

Yes I know I’m being MM3 heavy but the main theme gives you that”YOUR GOING TO PLAY A GREAT GAME!” feeling.

First off, it seems to me like this is being treated like a Capcom-official list, which is definitely isn’t. It just one person’s opinion, and the fact that he waded through this many songs in the first place is something to be admired.

I myself am a music major at Bradley University as well as a life-long avid Mega Man fan, so I like to think that I know what’s going on in that respect. I’ve thought about this long and hard, and I think the reason we deem these songs as “great” is the experience tied to them. For example, take Mega Man 8. A lot of the compositions themselves aren’t really that great. However, the first Wily stage theme has a great sinister feeling, like you’re heading towards the heart of the beast. I can’t help but smile when I listen to this song and remember the solid stream of curse words that came from my mouth and how I never wanted to hear the words “Jump!” or “Slide!” again.

I’m really excited to see the rest of this list develop.
