You are free to feel entitled, but its because of that mindset that music nowadays is in the state it is. The arrogance to think that just cause you have more sounds, that the music is better.

If by "the state it is" you mean "way better than ever before," I'm happy to be of service. If that's not what you mean, you're wrong.

The two Mario songs I linked to are the same composition! They have slightly different orchestrations, but by far the biggest difference is that in 1996 we had shitty midi that sounds like crap and in 2010 we had glorious live musicians. Your insistance on ignoring this shift is downright silly. It's like you're criticizing an actor in a movie and saying Kermit the Frog is a way better actor.

Take the nostalgia goggles off. Sample some real music. What the hell do you listen to aside from retro video game stuff anyway?

You'll call me arrogant or entitled again, and I really don't care. I can live with that. This is a principal from which I cannot budge. It is too deeply engrained in my being.

Considering you thought the File Select Theme from A Link to the Past was 8-bit, I don't know what you're doing in a thread about Zelda music, either, and I question your devotion to music from the 16-bit era when you don't recognize A Link to the Past.
