Frequently Used Music in Doom PWADs

[endoomer]

Hi all, I'm in process of collecting such information now, so I need your help here.

What music tracks is popularly used in Doom PWADs EXCEPT the ones form classic IWADs?

For example, the Briefing theme from Descent II by Dan Wentz seems to be the one that has frequent usage.

What is your opinion?

Rise of the triad music, for good reason

"Plasma" by Lee Jackson (From Duke Nukem 3D, Dark Side level) would be an obvious one. Most famous useage is probably Alien Vendetta MAP10, but I've heard it in several other maps (some map in Sunder off the top of my head?), and I'm sure there's a boatload of maps I haven't played which use it. I've also used it because its probably my favourite MIDI of all time, if I had to pick just one.

Whatever song that is on Community Chest 2 map15 and

asdfjkl6.wad's map13.

[Herr Dethnout]

All songs made by Lee Jackson in Rise of the Triad.

I've heard "Lullaby" by The Cure in a surprising amount of custom levels, from random WADs in the Maximum Levels collection, to the finale of Evil Tech, to a modified shitposty version in a level of Mock 2.

It's a pretty good song.

I recall tons of WADs using a Sweet Dreams MIDI for a while. 

[TheCaneOfTheTophat]

Descent's Level 1 MIDI.

Maximum

That just jogged my memory - I knew it was in one of the first levels alphabetically in the Doom II folder, so I went to the good ol' https://classicdoom.com/mlcdwads.htm Max Doom list and yep, it gets used in 2DIE.wad - that surprised the hell out of me when I heard a midi version of that song in Maximum Doom back in the day...

"Astral Dreadnought" by Jimmy, originally from Plutonia 2. It was also used in Valiant, Good Morning Phobos, Tangerine Nightmare and possibly other places.

 

"Gutter Penny" by Alfonzo, originally from Realms of Parthoris (Heretic wad). Also used in THT: Threnody, Man on the Moon, Solar Struggle and Eviternity.

Both absolutely killer MIDIs, good call!

Unreal tournament Music surprisingly,

Stuart Rynn SoD music gets used a whole lot

Also Jimmy's Jenesis Midis.
