Song of the Week - WEEK 77 Voting/WEEK 78 Nominating

An acceptable week, if not just slightly underwhelming. I think most of the nominations were merely "okay", which has made it trickier than usual to pluck out my favorites.

Nothing was horrible, nor was anything head and shoulders above the competition, so I'm just gonna hand out points based upon which songs match my tastes best.

3 Points: Tokimeki Memorial 2 ORIGINAL GAME SOUNDTRACK vol. 1 - Meeting With You ~ Happy Ending (Instrumental)
2 Points: GRANDIA III ~original sound tracks~ - Sabatal
1 Point: Granado Espada Soundtrack CD - Supercooled Girl

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Are we actually going to let this one slide? C'mon. It's Final Fantasy. I don't care if it's on the Gameboy or not, the franchise is still the largest name in RPGs and you could probably never convince me, personally, that it qualifies as "obscure".

I think there's been a little bit of a double standard recently, in which tracks from portable versions of otherwise taboo franchises are admitted for nomination. Sonic the Hedgehog will always carry high name recognition, as will the Mana series, Kirby, Mario, etc. I carry the opinion that it slightly undermines the "obscurity" mantra to allow tracks from such high profile licenses into SotW. With the veritable cornucopia of VGM available, we really shouldn't have to resort to the most well-known series for material.

I'm sure it's a good track, but this is why we have the BSC.

How ya doing, buddy?
