Favorite Song in Hotline Miami?
A pretty simple question! Which is your favorite song in Hotline Miami? If the soundcloud embed works, then I'll drop it in below.
Are we still harping on about this soundtrack? There were some good tracks, but, it's not exactly that amazing...
I don't want to be the guy that goes into a thread and starts talking about an unrelated game, but Dustforce's soundtrack is ultra-underrated D: Jus' sayin'
@BeachThunder: To be completely honest, it's not my favorite soundtrack of 2012. But it's one of the most evenly-spread soundtracks in 2012, enough so that I feel like there are multiple options for this poll. (Though I'm totally with you that it's Hydrogen.)
I liked Dustforce's soundtrack well enough, but I still preferred Spelunky, Fez, Journey, and Rhythm Heaven Fever to both of those soundtracks, and I preferred FTL, Skullgirls, and P4A as well. Was a damn great year for soundtracks.
You guys are all crazy.
Hydrogen is not even the best M.O.O.N. track, which is Crystals by the way.
All facets of Hotline Miami boil down to one song.
Miami Disco is Hotline Miami, and to borrow a popular phrase, it's hell of tight.

I see you are a gentleman of refined tast
@Indiana_Jenkins: Miami Disco is really great, listening again. I think my runners-up are probably still Silver Lights and Daisuke, though. Silver Lights throws dark.
Other songs may be better and more complicated, but God DAMMIT when Hydrogen kicks in it works with the psychotic gameplay like no other.
Breta breta breta breata breata BREEEEP Breta breta breta breta breta BREEEP Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Crystals is the best song and is also the most featured song, all of the Moon stuff is great though there's some decent random tracks as well ("Last" level music for example)

I think the issue is that a lot of people got turned off by Dustforce's absurd difficulty well before hearing all of its superb soundtrack. The fact that you have to mash the dash button like crazy (even for things as simple as falling) instead of there being a simple Mario/Super Meat Boy run button made that game feel like a chore to play for me. I came away really liking the serenity of Dustforce's graphics and music, while being very frustrated by its controls. If it were a completely different game closer to something like Braid or Limbo, I probably would've liked it a lot more.

I do like Silver Lights but I wish that bass line was on a different, more up tempo song.
Hmm, I don't think it would have the same impact. I think as it is, it's good that it stands out on the soundtrack. A lot of the other songs are brilliant and make you feel psychotic in a, I am awesome and I can do this, sort of way. Silver Lights makes you feel psychotic but you feel like a real piece of shit while listening to it, really makes you feel like a serial killer. I can understand why that might not appeal to everyone!

It's a great song, I just hear that bassline and think it's the beginning of a Hydrogen-esque song or a Wu-Tang track.
that's just plain easy duder, it's Hydrogen. That song gets my feet tappin' no matter where it pops up. Plus, never been too huge a fan of house, but this is the kinda shit I can get behind.
It's a real Sophie's Choice but I like Daisuke because it's a nice chill break from the rest of the soundtrack.

You all have terrible taste! Best song is obviously "Miami"
I think it pales in comparison to Nightcall, which it is clearly taking inspiration from.
yeah but nightcall is so good that even a not as good nightcall inspired song is still dope as fuck

Motherfucking Daisuke. That song has been my wake-up tune ever since I got it.

Daisuke
I was beginning to wonder if people even realized there were other songs on the soundtrack that wern't by M.O.O.N. "Daisuke" is by far my favorite track. "Knock Knock" is a close runner up though.
To be fair though, when I think about the game as a whole, my mind always goes to "Hydrogen."
