Post anything you feel it's an underrated song. Also, (URL) breaks the (ispoiler). noice.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops - Calling to the Night [sung by Natasha Farrow] (Underrated,imo)
Game was once canon, after MGSV Kojima suddenly decided it wasn't gonna be. who cares, they used a needless confusing plotlines to cover the many plot holes this series had.

Gran Turismo 3 - Light Velocity [composed by Isamu Ohira] (Both underrated and forgotten. Sad.)
Can be heard only in the Japanese version of the game when in the Cars dealer menu. The EU\US version sounds like a nerfed version. I love the sax\piano solo near the end.

Diadra Empty - M • A • I 2000 [composed by "SENTIVE"] (underrated, also the game is nice too.)
Game walkthough, it's a shmup like TouHou. Also developed by a Japanese, iirc. It also arrived on steam. Still a nice smol game,though.

All I want to do - Davidson [(c) 1999, Apricot Records (maybe)] (Forgotten)
KIIILL FRENZY

Triage at Dawn - Half Life 2 [by DJ Dain, (c) LOLOLOL] (Forgotten, like all the promises from Valve.)
Half-Life 3's development has been abandoned a long time ago, not only because Laidlaw can't fucking write an ending, but because there apparently was no point, according to Gaben. Anyway, this video was pretty interesting on the subject. While this video is truly interesting to understand some psychologist shit like "the HL3's effect on the fans such as VNN".
Ple-Ple-Please let me know what you think about this.

Stop a Gaben [by Mastgrr] (fucking forgotten. why? Not only it's catchy, but it's great.)
It was a clickable link in the earlier ispoiler

Knuckles Chaotix - ALL OF IT. [(c) SEGA and Sonic Team] (Forgotten and underrated)
I just recalled that I made a shitty remix of "just another day". It's terrible. Also, why the fuck isn't anyone remaking the soundtrack? We have like thousands of thousands of Green Hill Zone remakes, yet not a single decent knuckles chaotix ost remake.

What's your favourite forgotten\underrated song?

I think I might be retreading territory I've already covered elsewhere on this forum but, while "O Sole Mio" from Pop Goes the World is my favourite Men Without Hats song, I don't think it was ever released as a single or, if it was, it didn't make it very high on the charts. "O Sole Mio" isn't on Men Without Hats' Greatest Hits CD to my utter dismay. I have the Pop Goes the World album on vinyl from back when the album was brand new but still haven't gotten it on CD, which I ought to go about correcting even if CD is supposedly "dead".


Of Men Without Hats songs that got singles, I think my favourite is probably "Living in China" since it's one of the best examples of the band's synth pop with a certain raw intensity to it that I particularly like from the band, though it has some lyrics that would probably be considered just a little, shall we say, "off-colour" over three decades later such as "They got ping pong egg foo yung/For all the little people that are living in China" and "What did the Chairman want?/A great big wall they could all watch orientals on".



It's not that I don't also really like "Safety Dance" but Men Without Hats is one of those bands people (wrongly) think of as "One Hit Wonders" that has several other great songs that 1980s nostalgia largely overlooks.

My favorites, but the whole ost is fantastic

Tim Follin is my favorite game composer, he usually only worked on shit games so he is quite forgotten. He always uses elements of progressive rock in his songs, including time signature changes and, for an old video game cartridge with limited memory, long compositions.



This is actually not so obscure, by far my favorite video game soundtrack. It's just superb, this shit is so fucking amazing that it was not re-recorded for the remake.

"Peppyrock" is a song that was a modest hit in Canada in 1998 with a music video that's a homage to early Sesame Street (and the silhouette heads from The Electric Company). From what I gather from Youtube comments, it was featured in the movie Idle Hands. American lawyer and conservative radio host Mark Levin's audio producer must have been a fan of that particular movie as an edit of the "Hoo Hoo/Aaaah Here We Go Now" portion of the song is occasionally used as bumper music on Mark Levin's radio show.

This ode to alcoholism is genius on every level. From a sampling perspective, the juxtaposition of a sergio mendes guitar loop (i think) with a bob james horn loop is the height of metatextual hip hop flexing. The Bob James loop is boisterous and almost funny, before switching to the sad and vaguely regretful guitar loop. This is mirrored in the song - the funny happy parts of being a drunk are rapped over the horn loop while the sad and tragic parts are rapped over the guitar.
The use of classic rap songs to signify and comment upon the rapper's words are excellently curated and scratched in with perfect comedic timing.
They include samples pertaining to alcohol from Black Sheep, Tribe Called Quest and more. It's dark and funny. It's the best thing Louis Logic ever made.
