[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 240 Voting/WEEK 241 Nominating

Song of the Week. 225 Weeks and counting.
Week 240 Voting is open.
Week 241 Nominating is open.

Also it's theme week voting time. I hope you didn't forget, because I sure didn't! (Really, I definitely 100% did not!) Pick your top three choices, in order, from this wonderful list:

a wonderful list for wonderful people:

March of the Intros: Intro/main menu themes can be important for setting the mood of a game, regardless of genre. And they tend to be very short affairs, with some exceptions, so such a week could be an extended 60s week of sorts.

SyFyLis Channel Original Musics: Nominate your most out of this world game tracks with a sci-fi connection. Maybe tie-in with some major sci-fi game/TV series/movie launch.

SotW Unplugged: An acoustic (or faux-acoustic) instrumentation week, acoustic guitar being the obvious example.

The Anti-Battle: Take the eight lowest scoring tracks in SotW history; Vote on Worst of the Worst with negative points given out.

.38 Doujin Special: Temporarily remove the rule against doujin (fanmade remixes) for a week of OCR-inspired madness.

Follin Follies II: Electric Boogaloo: More music from the ever-popular Brothers Follin, who left VGM for the high-profile and exciting world of advertising.

A Word to the Wise Week: Someone liked this David Wise fellow enough to say he gets his own week too.

VGM Fossil Week: Pre-1995 music only. No music that has been composed since Waterworld was in theaters allowed!

Super Hella Irritating Tracks: Crash's Audio Punishment EXtravaganza, bite-sized--only the worst VGM need apply.

Listening in Circles: Racing musics only. Because music from racing games rules. This is a fact proven by real science.

If at First You Don't Succeed Week: Nominate something new from an album/game/whatever from which you've nominated something before, but which has yet to place in any week. This game really does have good music, I promise!

2 points: Kwakfest - Nario Riding Naked on a Totally Righteous Dragon
1 point: GT Legends (Game Rip) - Bluetone
1 point: Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun Music Collection - Vs Soviet Union, Team Theme

Nario Riding Naked, like every track on the album, was written in one hour for a compo. (and it wasn't even the best track)

Fuck yes mysterious fantasy dungeon basslines, Island of Ruins is pretty rad. No points, but I offer free hugs.

Great week.
