You lucky bastard. So much great music by The Clash that I would love to hear for the first time again.

My original post was specifically talking about music licensed specifically for a game, not music composed for a game, i've never once heard of original video game compositions refereed to as licensed music.

I'm surprised you've never heard of them before although they did break up about 30 years ago so I shouldn't be really. They were a snotty punk band that became more polished and actually broke America but like alot of punk bands they didn't survive the 80s. They splintered off and the singer sang with The Pogues before starting another band called Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. The lead guitarist started a band called Big Audio Dynamite.
Anyway you should check out their singles collection, their self titled debut and London Calling.

Wait until you listen to London Calling in it's entirety.

This is probably their most commercial song...it got a lot of airplay at the time, but it isn't all that typical of the rest of their work, which is a lot more punk with politically oriented lyrics.

I'm flabbergasted that you just heard this song! This is one of my very favorite songs of all time. The Clash have a great discography. They are always in the same breath as the Ramones, the Sex Pistols and The Damned as the very first punk bands.
I suggest starting with London Calling (which it seems you have) but if you want to get a full array of their music ability listen to Sandinistas! It's not just punk, they have Calypso, reggae, ska, gospel and countless other genres all wrapped up in an experimental punk album. I absolutely love The Clash.

Welcome to their sound. They've a fairly limited discog - few enough to work your way through their studio albums in not a lot of time.
I caught them the first time around, and still listen to them...

Nintendo game soundtracks are licensed. You mean songs that were not originally made for a game.

Haha, nice. The PS roadrash from the same era had all the same songs, except several more though.

Hands-down, absolutely and without any hesitation whatsoever is Betrayal at Krondor's soundtrack. It's majestically epic, and isn't just a great tune or two, but has a *minimum* of 20 fantastic spellbinding tracks, and lots of variations on a couple of the main theme tracks. Unapparelled.
In a distant, distaaaaant second and third would come Castlevania Symphony of the Night and THPSII. Megaman II and III also had great soundtracks. Fallout New Vegas has a very moody, memorable soundtrack as well.
Ocarina of Time has an obviously fantastic soundtrack as well, as does Chronotrigger.

One of the greatest, most influential bands ever and London Calling one of the greatest albums. I was 16 when they debuted. Still listening today at 62.
