Have We Already Witnessed the Best?

Ducktales - The Moon. You jerks know what I'm talkin' about

That said, plenty of my favorites are, unfortunately, retired or burnt out. The lady that did the music for the first two Suikodens (from what I read) got hitched and stopped composing. The goon who did music for Albert Odyssey completely vanished after that eargasm. Mitsuda and Uematsu definitely had their moments. However, nowadays all Uematsu songs are pretty "meh" and Mitsuda just seems to be stuck in a certain "feel" or "sound". All of his music nowadays just sounds identical.

We aren't past a golden age or anything of the sort (if you could possibly pick one out). Presently, though, I don't have many composers that I'd tack an "awesome" by the name of.
