WTH happened to awesome boss music in games?

If you're not hearing awesome boss music in recent games, you're not playing the right games, although I'll agree that good boss music is severely lacking in comparison to past gens where music was comparatively as good as gameplay and story..

All the boss music is pretty good, but these are the best. Fly is actually both the final boss and the intro, each one is cut a little bit different in the game though, but they're both from the same song. This version is the one plays during the fight with Mine.

Yakuza 4's final segments are possibly the most badass things to ever come out of a video game. The story, the setting, the music, and the fights themselves helped tie it all together. Each battle also has different music, so it's a new track with each ass kicking you're about to deliver. This track is a mix of all the pre battle and battle music in that scene one after the other. Comes around to 12 minutes.

I also liked that Xenoblade song that was posted.
