What's the best song in a WAD you've ever heard?

[roadworx]

just askin'
mine might have to be from "biowar"

[Pedro VC]

NeoDoom map22

[Netherstorm]

Dwango12 map16

[Terminus]

Not the best song (still pretty damn good), but the best buildup and song-matching-the-map experience I recall having is Jade Earth, with that Mark Klem track building up the suspense.

[Naan]

Hell Ground map05. American McGee's Alice soundtrack is just wonderful.

[Tristan]

NewGothic MAP11 (or Chillax MAP39)
Resurgence MAP31

[Salt-Man Z]

I love Stuart Ryn's "24" from BTSX E1 MAP14.

[Gothic Box]

New Gothic Movement MAP01

I fucking love that track. Synth sounds like cats!

STARS.MID (Speed of Doom MAP31, Valiant MAP31)

"Sexy" - E1M5 from 2002 A Doom Odyssey by good ol' Paul Corfiatis. I mean the whole soundtrack is overall great, but that song is one I remember getting stuck in my head after playing the Demo of Episode 1.

Thread over. I don't know why this isn't the definite answer in the FAQ already.

[Andrea Rovenski]

Memento Mori MAP14

[Dav_NW]

Whispers of Satan text screen

[Gez]

Epic 2 MAP28
Thunderpeak Powerplant
Pretty much all of BTSX

[Suitepee]

'Slipper' by Mark Klem in Memento Mori. Love what he did with the Scooby Doo theme.

[Ledillman]

Hmmm, maybe Give in (with pleasure) damn i love this track, or Nutty 2's MAP19 - Neo Purity

This is also a great answer. and I think Map05 or Map06 from #2 is also up there.

There's a ton of stuff in BTSX that I absolutely adore. Here's a few of my personal favourites:

Episode 1:

"Yaw" - Jimmy - E1M11
"Womp" - Essel - E1M22

Episode 2:

"Scattered Ashes" - Jimmy - E2M13
"Enigma" - Jimmy - E2M14
"Ether" - Essel - E2M20*

Episode 3:

"Zero Degrees Kelvin" - Jimmy
"Egypt" - Essel
"Tartarus Plains" - Jimmy
"Kugelblitz" - Jimmy

IMO E3 has some of Jimmy's best work.

*E2M20 uses an extended version of the track in the video.

[EClydeDeebo]

There are two wads: Amok and Amok 2_11 that are equal to any great wad you may have played. The midi that came with the wads is my favorite

[Not Jabba]

I'm gonna go with "Voyage I" by Jimmy, which is the one from Jenesis map 15.

[Angry Saint]

The tracks in Galaxia and Bilbo11.

Yes, I am that old.

[yakfak]

depending how fickle I'm feeling, either BTSX E2M4, or any classic wad that used the entire first half of Tubular Bells as its soundtrack =P

[Terminus]

Ah, how could I possibly forget.
My long time favorite midi is 2002ADO's E3M8 by Paul Corfiatis. Any map that uses this track instantly becomes fun in my eyes. It's just so damn good.

[NinjaLiquidator]

Sunlust Map29 - I had to export midi and play over and over :D

[antares031]

Any soundtracks composed by Stuart Rynn, such as "Stars", "Core", "Air", "Night Run", "Jail Break", etc. Just to name a few.

[Doomkid]

There's plenty of great ones put there.

Momento Mori map02 (and many other mark klem tunes)
Doomcity.wad has a cool song
Dwango6map01 uses music from descent, which is kick ass.
Exec.wad is choc full of great midis.
Basically anything by Jimmy!

I'm missing so many - there's a lot to choose from.

[NinjaLiquidator]

Also the music from Community Chest 3 Map15!

[Walter confetti]

The music from heroes 2, especially the one used for MAP23 and MAP31... Also the tracks from surftune.wad are pretty catchy...

[Gentlepoke]

DWANGO5 MAP01.
