| Soleron said: You're counting a lot of remixes twice, and for example Throwback is a SM64 remix. Good Egg and Gusty Garden are throughout the Galaxy 2 soundtrack, and the credits music/game themes are almost completely remixes. Reusing level music is incredibly lazy. Opinion: Many of the songs you've listed for both games are ambient. They work well in game but anyone who can play an instrument can create something like that, it does not take talent. I am judging a soundtrack as if you buy it on its own CD and listen to it, which needs strong themes. |
In the end, I just posted the songs I liked (regardless of whether they're remixes or they "do not take talent" to create)... which is how one subjectively chooses which soundtrack one likes the most. 
OT: Gotta give a shout out to the Okami soundtrack as well. it's a pretty amazing soundtrack to be honest.
