Top 10 most recognizable video game music themes

GMA Network writes: Because there are just so many of these musical gems, narrowing them down into a Top Ten list was a daunting —and far from definitive— feat. So, dear reader, you are encouraged to chime in on your opinions about the tracks presented in this article, or even to add your own personal favorites to this list of the Top Ten Videogame Music Themes of All Time. (Devil May Cry 3, Final Fantasy VII, PC, Portal, PS3, Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros., Wii, Xbox 360)

so many missing themes you not going to fit it in a top tens list. this article is the authors opinion. Lots of great music missing from games like Zelda..Metal Gear Solid..Halo etc.. Most of these game music no one will even know. Sonic one should have been green hill zone theme....

The Diablo series is my fav PC franchise, but yes I do agree with you

There should be music from Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda, etc on this list. The music in those games cannot be forgotten

Guilty Gear and Diablo? Music's great and all but I really doubt they're among the most recognisable themes ever.

And where's Zelda?

agreed on both parts, but especially on the omission of Zelda.

Taste of Blood isn't the theme I really remember from DMC3. Devil's Never Cry is the only 1 I knew by name.

Silent Hill's opening is 1 I always recognize and I don't even recall music in Excitebike at all. Don't remember the Pokemon theme either.

My favourites are Gears and Uncharted.

I think in our current generation, the most recognizable video game music themes is Skyrim's Dragonborn Theme and Uncharted's Theme (just my opinion)

How the hell does Halo not make it in there?

Ya EVERYONE knows the halo theme :/

I've never heard the halo theme :P

No MGS theme...

in a most "recognizable" list, where is halo theme? tetris? zelda?

I know everyone's got a boner for Sephiroth but I think the chocobo theme is the more well known piece being that it's been in all of the games.

Sorry, but Sephiroth's theme has also been used in more than just FF7, like the movie (advent children) and Dissidia, and others.
