Time for another Legacy Music Hour year-end countdown! Brent and Rob share their top ten tracks of the year
(Episodes 181, and 183 through 192 -the closing track of 182 is possibly eligible as well). In case you don't know the rules, tracks chosen must be pieces of video game music they became
aware of only within the last year and that were played on the show. Plus, aside from Gabe and Trevor being present, the gang is joined by the hosts of
The VGM Jukebox podcast, Emily and Josh. Emily also does the LMH Mixtapes and Josh often times contributes VGM Karaoke songs heard on The Legacy Music Hour. Thank you to all the support from the users over the years! Partial track

ReplyDeleteIs that a Pokey the Penguin shirt?
ReplyDelete...also, great job! Hearing you guys for these years has helped me better appreciate the fundamentals of music writing. Since there are usually only four channels it's easy to visualise only a few instruments being played at a time.
DeleteThanks for being a source of inspiration.
Looking forward to another great year of jamz! I'm guessing the bassist for Herbie was playing a Steinberger.
ReplyDeleteKeyglyph, thanks for your amazing and hard work with the mixtapes! Also, could you share your top ten? I'd love to see where mine matched up with yours as well as with the boizz. I was happy to hear you included Dead Connection, as it took my 5 spot.
ReplyDeleteTo echo Sentimental in San Gabriel, can we all get a mixtape of your top ten Keyglyph? Maybe even in the VGM Jukebox feed if that's at all appropriate? Thanks either way!
DeleteOh sure! Here's what was on my list.
DeleteTop two (in no particular order):
-- Jim Power: The Arcade Game - Mutant Forest
-- Dead Connection - Stage 2, 4, 6
The rest (also in no particular order):
-- Time Lord - Title Screen
-- Uchuu Race: Astro Go! Go! - Icebaby Planet
-- Wai Wai World 2: SOS!! Paseri Jou - Mothership
-- Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S - Stage 4: Infinity Academy
-- Traverse: Starlight & Prairie - Starlight
-- King of Casino - Results
-- Pro Mahjong Kiwame III - Normal Game 2
-- Power League 5 - Main BGM 1
Hey Keyglyph, thanks so much for making the mixtapes, it's really awesome to listen to my favourite songs with just the music after I hear them on the episodes. I really really appreciate your hard work. Also wanted to tell you that for this episode (yes I'm slowly listening to them all and it's taken me few years to get to this episode) I actually agree more with your top 10 for this year in review, even more than what Brent and Rob chose, however some of theirs were my favourites also.
DeleteBrent mentioned the TerraCresta song reminded him of tears for fears. I thought it sounded exactly like Tin Tin https://youtu.be/5zoE2Hxs3WY
ReplyDeletehye
ReplyDeleteAs someone who erroneously corrected Rob F.'s use of "Stickerbush," I have taken keyglyph's update about "Stickerbush Symphony" to heart.
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite podcasts combined into one! Great episode!
ReplyDeleteNice top 10 lists. Animite's karaoke was so fly. I also enjoyed the light saber jedi battle between golf game expert Josh and VGM master Brent over the character and authorship of the Yumi Kinoshita sound (things got tense for a hot minute there!).
Keep up the great work LMH and VGMJB. Love you both!
Loved this episode! The super powers combined.
ReplyDeleteYou guy's are awesome! Thanks for another year of pure jams.
