Conker's Bad Fur Day Soundtrack - Rock Solid When it comes to Conker, I think we're all going to have to admit that the pinnacle of its music is a giant singing piece of shit. The remainder is the same without the singing.

Crepuscular - Crepuscular Ambient quasi-jazz fusion. I can see this working well in the game but it's only meh outside of it.

Gikyokuonsou - Humpty Dumpty I though this was really building to something cool, and then came the painfully anemic piano and panpipes. And later: synth noodling. Disappointing.

Killer Cuts - Do It Now! I was always super disappointed with Killer Cuts, largely because it was .0001% music from the actial game and 99.9999% obnoxious stuff "inspired by." I know some peeps like it when their music talks or yells at them, but I ain't one.

Kyle Pulver's Games - Everyone Loves Active 2 I think this is what Crepuscular aspired to be: still ambient but a lot more lively and with some interesting ideas.

Ranger Wars OST - A Distant Arena It's like a Mega Man 6 song. Your opinion of Mega Man 6 songs will determine whether or not that counts as a good thing.

Rhythm Tengoku Complete Music Collection - Twoside As the man says, bouncy fun. Quasi-interesting fact: I read that as "Twoson" or maybe "Fourside" at first and was expecting an Earthbound remix.

The Monopoly Game 2 (Game Rip) - Boardwalk Cup Final I'd much rather just play Monopoly and hum to myself.

The Point Spread
Arena, Distant - 3 pts.
Twoside, Fourson - 2 pts.
Active 2, Nobody Loves - 1 pt.

Nomination to come. If Muzz guesses the game, composer, or genre I will eat my hat

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Game: Rayman Origins
Composer: Christophe Héral
Genre: Bubble
Let me get your hat for you!
Haha, I'm pretty sure I mentioned putting that up for the BSC '12 (speaking of which when do we start with that Muzz? It's your baby this year!). I'm still saving it for the big ring. A+ for effort though!

My actual nomination is from Alpha Protocol:
Composer: BT, Jason Graves, Rod Abernathy
Game: Alpha Protocol (Game Rip)
Track Title: Main Title
Track Number: 1
Year: 2010
Additional Information: Officially the main theme is by BT only, but I'm 99.9% sure Graves and/or Abernathy tweaked it

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have a hard time describing my subjective dis/enjoyment of music, so my apologies to the nominators who are looking for a better description of what I liked/didn't like about their nominations.
Don't sweat it. We're all the time trying to dress up "I hate this music please kill it now with a shotgun" so it seems all objective and intellectual ("its application of aleatoric principles to the 12-tone serial note cluster was a pedestrian attempt at capturing the mise en scène of the fin de siècle").

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

orion broke the duopoly?!
I'm as surprised as you are.

Don't worry, with a nomination in virtually every week aberrations like this happen on average once every six months

I was speaking idiomatically.
