We'll have a good topic when you vote. SO VOTE

When answering, please explain your choices. This isn't a thread to get +1 postcount, it's for sharing your love for whatever the topic may be.

Week 2: Favourite Boss Music.
State your favourite boss music and explain why you love it so much.

I'll edit my vote in later and post my response in a new post to keep the OP short. I still need to post in the last thread. Blame Pokémon. That's why this is late, by the way.

I have too many favorites to list, so here are five of my favorite favorites:

Secret of Mana: Meridian Dance
Good, energetic theme, and I love the main melody.

Touhou 8: Imperishable Night - Mokou's Theme
Again, I mainly just like the tune here, and the buildup of intensity during a full loop of the song. I have only started listening to the Touhou soundtrack relatively recently, but I am quickly finding that it contains a multitude of great themes...

Chrono Cross - People Imprisoned by Destiny
This track shows up at several points in the game, including the battles with Miguel and Dario. It's rather unusual for a boss theme, but it fits the situations well, and is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a video game soundtrack.

Pokemon Battle Revolution - Mysterial's Theme
The game may not have been that good, but this song is. Exciting, grandiose, perfect for a Pokemon final boss battle.

Okami - The Sun Rises
Just another epic theme well suited to its situation; by this point in Okami's epic final boss battle things have shifted in your favor, so the overall triumphantness of the theme makes sense. It definitely puts you in the mood to go tear up Yami.

Persona 3- The Battle for Everyone's Souls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMhTL5bZrs
A theme well suited for the battle, love the fact that they managed to fit the Velvet Room music in there as well.

Cave Story- Eyes of Flame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIrdommE8xs
Fast paced, like most of the other songs in the soundtrack. Gets one pumped and actually excited for the battle imo. Plus it's very catchy.

Might edit with more later.

Super Meat Boy - The Battle of Lil' Slugger (http://youtube.com/watch?v=WL-8rU8ltA4)

I really like this theme because of the fast paced guitar and the distortion effect. It fits the boss itself too as it's essentially escaping from a giant *** robot with a giant *** chainsaw through the forest. My only problem is that the boss itself could have been better as it was short and you didn't quite get enough time to hear this theme.

One of my favorite Boss music is Battle With the Four Fiends. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGrTvlE_DO0 I find this theme is well fitting when fighting fiends of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Course in Final Fantasy IV, the names of the Four Fiends are references to Dante's Inferno.

I like Cynthia's theme a lot. Don't know why, but I don't have very good taste of music, It's probably the opening piano part that captures me. When I played Platinum, I heard that first time and I was like, "Wow, Cynthia is awesome."

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time- Highbrow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KooWTtDpKJU
Such an epic song for a boss that makes you feel like you've just walked to your death.

The Binding of Isaac - My Innermost Apocalypse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikTwG27I1qc)
This is a brilliant theme. It's tense, and has mood swings. Fitting for the battles it plays for.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Optional boss Sephiroth.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQnN_uDunTA
I have always loved this boss battle music, even after hearing many times as I never could beat Sephiroth. I'm not really sure why I have picked this one, it was the one that stuck out in my head the minute I saw the title to the thread.
I just think it's pretty cool boss music, really catchy.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - On the Rocks

Not sure if this can be considered boss music, but it's used at the final interrogations of each chapter.
I love this song, and it's not even amongst my favorites of this game's soundtrack. I think it really fits the atmosphere of these "boss" situations in the game.
