Your favorite soundtracks to casually listen to.

Note to Mods: If there a thread similar to this one already, feel free to lock this and sorry for the trouble...

Do you have any video game music or tunes that you enjoy so much that you can listen to it all day while you're relaxing at home? This doesn't have to be limited to video games, however. It could be from any media!

For me, that would be the hourly tunes from Animal Crossing, specifically Wild World and New Leaf. I find myself having it play on the background for hours on end. It's what i'll usually listen to when I just want to forget my concerns for the say! Other than that, i'm often have anything I know on that relates to my over all mood.

How about you? Do any of you have any favorite tunes you listen to alot?

There is one for me--the soundtrack to Band of Brothers.

Not only is it amazing--but it gives me feels, any music that gives me feels is automatically something I love.

As for video games--I loved the Battlefield 1 soundtrack, from base up through all the DLCs. Amazingly well done.

At the current time, the soundtracks I'm listening to most are Celeste's and Hollow Knight's.

Celeste has a really emotional soundtrack. In-game each song perfectly nails the feelings of the levels and scenes they play in, and out of game there's a song for practically every mood one could feel. Granted, given the setting and themes of the game most of the songs are on the more somber side, but considering that's what my mood is like a lot these days I can't say it's not suitable.

Here's one of my favorites: the fourth level's theme.


Hollow Knight's soundtrack, on the other hand, is more atmospheric. Unless you're fighting a boss, in which case it becomes pounding and epic. A lot like Celeste it's more dark and somber since Hollow Knight is a dark and somber game, but it's great for inspiration at the very least.

A few of my favorite songs:






Undertale gets an honorable mention from me. I haven't been listening to this game's soundtrack as much lately, mostly because I listened to it a lot back when I first discovered the game and nowadays I'm a little tired of it, but it's even better than Celeste in having a song for every mood.







99% of the music I listen to nowadays is video game music. A lot of the time I'm not listening to any one game's soundtrack, rather a hodgepodge of songs from many different games depending on what I happen to be thinking about or feeling.

I think my main go to game soundtracks currently are Nier, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and No Mans Sky.

NieR: Automata, and Persona 5

Mine is a little unusual. If most of people would mention RPG OST, I'm just gonna mention most of The Sims OST :p they have a good music to feel relaxed. I don't really have one fave, cz they sound the same.

For me the original Nier's is favorite go to, sometimes Bayonetta's.

Not a video game sountrack, but if I'm feeling a bit gay I'll play The Shire song from TLotR when I'm walking around greenery. It's oddly entertaining. I would recommend trying it out.

From other media, Tron Legacy movie soundtrack comes to mind. I can listen to it anytime and it still takes me to another world each time I listen to it.

I've been on a Spyro the Dragon kick lately. I have to admit, I really like the soundtrack to the original Spyro game. Some of my favorites are the Lofty Castle theme and the Gnorc Cove theme.

I typically listen to these OSTs:

Xenogears
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Chrono cross
Ff15
Ff8
Ff13
Ff10
Fft
Nier automata

Katamari Damacy, LISA the painful RPg + The Joyful and WoW are my all time favourites.

I like a lot of stuff from Radiata Stories



Pretty much anything from Under Night In Birth



And everything Mewmore makes. His remixes of Pokemon themes are great chill-out songs to just get lost in.

I work in an office on a computer so I often listen to music while working. Mostly J-pop, K-pop (just a casual listener), heavy metal, nightcore, or video game and movie soundtracks. Quite a variety, but no rap.

I'll just post some examples for now:

forgive me Father, for I have gamed.

Opening theme of nocturne (lucifer's call)
Persona 3,4 and 5
Suikoden opening theme (all of them)
Mafia 3
Red Dead Redemption 2

Besides that i always listen to music when I work 'cause it inspires me and all types of music tend to pass by at some point.

Here is my nerdy playlist, lots of Cowboy bebop and The world ends with you.

buckle up.

I like The Neverhood's soundtrack because it's all a nice melting pot of goofy, catchy, chill and jazzy tunes. A very good fit for a goofy, odd game made from clay if ya ask me.



I also quite enjoy any of good 'ol "Weird Al" Yankovich's stuff from time to time, always gets me in the mood to make something dumb and be happy.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3




Nothing comes close, in my book <3
