I spent probably about 2 hours compiling a list of what I consider the 100 greatest game songs of all time. (with a relatively strict one song per game rule - I made some exceptions for remixes of songs from earlier games - other than that there were next to no rules) I think everyone will hate me for this list. (specifically the absense of any music from Undertale, Celeste, or the Splatoon and Persona series and the only Zelda song being from a meme spin off)
