I can't lie that i liked the sonic cd songs back then, but when i first beat gears, "the Cole Train" made me laugh so hard, I almost pissed.

The first vid on Knight's Quest seemed more like some crappy fan-vid you would find on YouTube with the description - "ThischaracterXThischaracter FTW!! I iz AMV master! Done in Windows Movie Makers! :D"

The rap played over the end credits of COD4 was absolutely painful to listen to. Good game, but gaaahh...that song...

The music was the best thing about Fugitive Hunter. I'm not too sure if that's a compliment...

And I used to sing the ClayFighter tune all of the time.

Ah crap I even have God Hand. Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out.

Mikel brought up an amaaazingly bad one in this week's podcast (going up Friday). Might actually be the worst, even worse than Freaky Flyers.

You can't forget Mystical Ninja starring Goemon for N64. Sooooo cheesey.

Will someone please rip my ear drums out of my head? The Night Trap song was unbearable. The terrible song, awful "actors" who are probably now in porn, and hidious outfits from hell in the '90s. Rap in video games never ever sound good. Ever.
