Probably not for long.

I don't listen to enough video game music to really say, but out those it's a tie between Kondo and Uematsu.  KK has the iconic classic themes for so many smash hit games and they have more of an 8-bit, simple sound to them, whereas NU has a very orchestral, symphonic sound, much more like a film score than a happy-go-lucky video game.

Really I love both of them, along with Yasunori Mitsuda and Motoi Sakuraba.

-Eternal Sonata - Pyroxene of the Heart

-Baten Kaitos - To the End of the Journey of Glittering Stars

 ;)

Baten Kaitos music sure is awesome. God I love that game. So yeah, I have to add Sakuraba to my list.

Thanks. For a moment there I was worried, though. I almost needed to blow you.

Koji did Starfox 64, I'm not sure who did Adventures. Arakawa reorchestrated all of Koji's work for Assault, it's amazing.

Dave Wise did Adventures.

My faves are:

• Nobuo Uematsu
• Koji Kondo
• Dave Wise
• Jun Chikuma

For those wondering who Jun Chikuma is, she composed most of the Bomberman series music. The only reason she's there is because of the Bomberman Tournament Score, which is epically awesome. I arrange those songs. ;D

My 3 favorite composers from 1st to 3rd are:

  • Tomohito Nishiura
  • Koji Kondo
  • Jun Ishikawa(Composed many songs for Kirby)
