Actual discussion should go here: /index.cgi?board=music&action=display&thread=8371 This thread is ONLY for voting and absolutely nothing else, unless you need a clarification on the rules, and the answers will be added to the top post.

If you even think about it you're totally missing the point. No arguing about choices in this thread. You can edit your post as many as times as you want if you change your mind, but once it hits midnight, those will be your final choices. This poll will be live until Friday, September 30th, 11:59 PM EST.

That way you can expose other votes to some songs you like - maybe they'll check out the game it's from and vote for it too. The goal is to get a wide variety of songs, so please limit yourself to three songs per game, at maximum. But it's OK to specify systems if the titles have the same name but are totally different games (i.e. Like, Ys II has several different versions but the music's all the same and I don't want votes spread across multiple versions of the same songs. Do not specify a specific platform for games that have multiple versions, unless the versions have totally different soundtracks. most SNK games used arranged versions for their CD ports, so those are OK) No arrange soundtrack versions can be voted on, unless they're in the games themselves (i.e. Songs must appear in the games themselves. If you vote for something from a rhythm game, it must be an original song, not an arrangement of something else. If you try to be clever and put down Rock Band you will be disqualified. Battle Theme, Level 1, Boss Theme, etc.) and we'll try to figure it out If you can't find it, just put where it's used (i.e. The reason why is that it makes it easier to tally votes when copied into Excel, and I don't want to have to reformat people's votes. YOU MUST FOLLOW THIS EXACT FORMAT OR YOU VOTE WILL BE DISCOUNTED. (You do not need to put a comma after the track name if you're not posting a Youtube link.) Each entry goes on its own line. That's the game name, with a comma and a space, followed by the track name, then a comma and a space, then a Youtube link if you want to provide a sample. GAME NAME, TRACK NAME, YOUTUBE LINK (optional) I had originally deliminated them further, but upon trying to assign a value to the tracks I picked, I realized that was too overcomplicated. You can elect not to choose a Top 5 if you can't narrow them down, but in turn none of the songs elected will get extra points. You can pick a Top 5 from your list - these songs will get 3 points each. You can pick less (just one, even), but no more. The overall idea, despite what the title says, is not to determine the 'best' video game tracks, but rather, give a wide range of tracks so people with interest in VGM will find something new and cool to listen to, as voted on by people who are willing to take the time to think about these sort of things. I'm not sure how many songs total to include in the list, but the goal is to have as many as possible. There are thousands upon thousands of tracks of fantastic music so who knows how this will all work out, but it's worth a shot. I've always wanted to try something like this here, so here we go! The goal is to pick specific tracks from specific games, rather than games themselves. Awhile back, I posted about 2ch's massive poll to vote on the best video game music of all time ( /2011/05/japans-top-700-video-game-music-of-all.html).
