War Drone - what's lost on a lot of people today is that that flyby was one of the first proper big 3D views we ever got in an RTS game. Homeworld was a vast pioneer for its day!
That intro really blew people away who'd prior been playing on games like Starcraft.
Honestly I've yet to play another RTS that really told its story as well as Homeworld. Those early RTS games were really charming and I think the fact that games like Homeworld and Starcraft came with story books in the manual played a big part. Even their sequels of both games failed to really live up to their originals (though I also lay blame squarely on the fact that, in both cases, the writers of the second game changed big core elements from the first in the story)

Couldn't agree more. One of the very few video games to really "move" me.
The world needs more GOOD SP RTSs!
@BrookM: That is excellent "wake-up/alarm" music! Stolen!

IMO, this isn't actually the best version. There are a coupla tracks on the GitS OST that are almost identical, but slightly different. But this was the best version of Making of Cyborg I could find at short notice (a South Korean choir IIRC?).

There is a live version of "Making of Cyborg" that I really love:
As for the Payday 2 OST, there are many great tracks on there, though this most recent one has become my all-time favourite. Sadly not part of their Bandcamp bundle.

I think there's plenty of great Disney music in post-2000s films, the opening song in Frozen (Vuelie) is good (although based on on more traditional music), and it's hard to say Let It Go isn't an incredibly enjoyable song, as is quite a bit of music in Moana. Plus, if we're including Pixar, Michael Giacchino's score for The Incredibles is solid gold.
Don't forget about Coco. I just love the music from that Pixar movie.
And then there's this monster that leaves you a sobbing wreck remembering all the toys you've left behind as you grew up, thinking that you no longer needed them:
And then it hits you that it can also be interpreted as a metaphor for children leaving behind their parents as they grow up. It's a one-two punch into your emotional feels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHnRfhDmrk Don Mclean starry starry night. Interesting that the first picture in the clip for the song is an art peice, and it really compliments the song in a way where you see how music can be also art, and you can see how picture and the song make sence.
Most of the stuff Radiohead did from Ok Computer onwards i'd consider great. Particularly Kid A and In Rainbows, they did a couple albums in between that were hit/miss in terms of overall quality but I don't think they were ever bad once they got out of that early 90s cheese phase.
Heard this bloke on the radio the other day and now he's every 2nd or 3rd song on my playlist, surprised the music video only has a little over 7k views.
Pix3lboy, certainly agree on Gambino and Queen - but then, I like most things those artists create. Say what you like about We Will Rock You as a musical, but it's damn fun to perform it.
Thargrim, I'd agree with Radiohead. Personally very fond of No Surprises myself.
Any one want to enjoy a really great musicians live performance? I give you some thing you will absolutely enjoy and probably watch several times. Ladies and Gentlemen - ROGER TROUTMAN 1989 Performance- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq62sqYZEK8&t=778s
Highly recommended you skip to 3:30 and watch from there.
EDIT - ALL LINKS I HAVE POSTED ARE IN THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD.
Want to be musically and intellectually honest, then one would say this is one of the best guitar solos ever IMO - Ted Nugent - Fred Bear ( The solo is not very long, started about half way through, just skip to solo if you want ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAyXhK9d300
Automatically Appended Next Post: Grateful Dead, - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq8sp6WF3bQ - Listen to this specific performance, its live and it gets really good, just be patient.
This deserves to bump this thread, you are welcome, but if you don't click this you are ignorant, because you wont actually know if this deserves to bump the thread untill you have listened to the whole thing.. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8D33fJs4M Live performance - Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain ( Written by Fred Rose )
Another VERSION of the SAME Song Also BY WILLIE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lZefsii1K0 ( better quality ) Live performance - Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain ( Written by Fred Rose )

Lets be again intellectually musically honest - Ray Charles is among many, but nether the less they are hard to come by, a musical genius. Listen to how beautifully he says "if they take me back to Texas" in this song. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ&list=RD6u8D33fJs4M&index=3
Does any one here agree that the lead singer of hot chocolate is wonderfully amazingly talented beyond imagination? Watch that video again - ALSO CHECK THIS OUT - Hot Chocolate - You win again. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwJcYh20XqQ
