NOW! That's what GR calls crap music

The worst videogame music you've ever heard

Pro Evolution Soccer 6

Well someone got a synthesiser for Christmas. And a Casio mini keyboard too by the sound of it. Pro Evolution Soccer is brilliant to play, but the sound is always obscured with a few coughs whenever we're showing it to our friends. The commentary is still brilliantly awful, but the music... oh, the music. The "color of love" song (or at least that's what it sounds like they're singing - it could be "gravel above") - in the option screens at least has a big, stompy "football" crowd feel to it, but the half-time music is just... laughable.

They say that give enough chimps enough typewriters and they could re-write the entire Shakespeare collection. By that token, you could give one chimp one copy of Pro Tools and a synthesiser and probably end up with more fitting music for PES.

Hear it here

Above: The beautiful game. And a perfect example of the need for a 'music off' option

Not a bad article at all. I've had many a game that made me want to tear my hair out because of the music alone. Superman 64 managed to make me do that because of both music and gameplay.

I actually like some of the music mentioned here. "Night Flight" is my favorite and only choice in Outrun 2

The Remixes for the Tetris song are freakin' awesome man.

Especially the trance mixed with the Murf's theme song.

That f%$#'n Daytona menu theme song.

My worst beatings at SFII and Samurai Showdown were accompanied by that cursed tune looping on the empty Daytona USA machine next to the block of fighter cabinets. It still haunts my dreams!!!!

"Day-TO-naaaaaaa! Let's go away!" (gunshots)

How DARE you mess with the original Tetris music. And playing with that music all the time on is not an excuse. Also, it's supposed to be Russian/Slavic-styled music.
