baja blast rd. Posted March 19, 2015 Feel free to do a top 10 and bottom 10 or something like that if there are too many. Here's mine. "Demons On The Prey" (E1M7, E2M5, E3M5, E4M8) "Sign Of Evil" (E1M8, E3M4, E4M1) "Dark Halls" (E1M3) "Opening To Hell" (MAP30) "Waltz Of The Demons" (E2M7, E3M7, E4M5) "Shawn's Got The Shotgun" (MAP07, MAP19, MAP29) "The Demons From Adrian's Pen" (E2M2) "The Ultimate Challenge" (MAP32) "I Sawed The Demons" (E2M1) "Sinister" (E2M6, E4M7) "Message For The Archvile" (MAP20, MAP26) "Getting Too Tense" (MAP28) "Evil Incarnate" (MAP31) "The Imp's Song" (E1M2) "The Dave D. Taylor Blues" (MAP08, MAP14, MAP22) "Untitled (Mouth For War)" (E2M9, E3M1) "They're Going To Get You" (E2M4, E4M6) "Bye Bye American Pie" (MAP23) "Waiting For Romero To Play" (MAP18, MAP27) "Suspense" (E1M5, E4M4) "At Doom's Gate" (E1M1) "Hiding The Secrets" (E1M9, E3M9, E4M9) "Kitchen Ace" (E1M4) "Into Sandy's City" (MAP09) "Nobody Told Me About id" (E2M8) "Donna To The Rescue" (E3M2, E4M2) "In The Dark" (MAP06, MAP12, MAP24) "Countdown To Death" (MAP03, MAP21) "Intermission from DOOM" (D1 intermission, E2M3) "Adrian's Asleep" (MAP25) "DOOM" (MAP05, MAP13) "Deep Into The Code" (E3M3, E4M3) "Facing The Spider" (E3M8) "The Demon's Dead" (MAP10, MAP16) "On The Hunt" (E1M6, E3M6) "The Healer Stalks" (MAP02, MAP11, MAP17) "Between Levels" (MAP04) "Running From Evil" (MAP01, MAP15) Stray Notes: D1: "Waltz Of The Demons" is missed potential. I'd rate it much higher if it were more polished (those clashing lines don't sound good). (Forget it -- I don't actually mind. Shifted to its deserving spot.) "Nobody Told Me About id" 'should' be higher too, but the pan-shifting and other tomfoolery makes me dizzy. I listed only tracks that appear in levels, but I'd rate "Victory" and "Bunny", D1's ending tracks, very highly -- close to if not in the top 5 overall. D2: The modal funkiness in "Between Levels" is cool, but unfortunately I don't like listening to the track. "The Dave D. Taylor Blues" would be even higher if the guitar delay effect were executed better. 0 Share this post Link to post
Graf Zahl Posted March 19, 2015 Too many to rank, so I'll just list top and bottom 5: Top 5: "Demons On The Prey" (E1M7, E2M5, E3M5, E4M8) "DOOM" (MAP05, MAP13) "Suspense" (E1M5, E4M4) "Sign Of Evil" (E1M8, E3M4, E4M1) "At Doom's Gate" (E1M1) Bottom 5 (worst to least bad): "Bye Bye American Pie" (MAP23) "Intermission from DOOM" (D1 intermission, E2M3) "Adrian's Asleep" (MAP25) "The Healer Stalks" (MAP02, MAP11, MAP17) "Message For The Archvile" (MAP20, MAP26) Most annoying (because it's the default in most add-on levels): "Running From Evil" (MAP01, MAP15) 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted March 19, 2015 Graf Zahl said:Most annoying (because it's the default in most add-on levels): "Running From Evil" (MAP01, MAP15) That's an important distinction to make. The track is easily among the top 3/5/whatever in the iwads, but people passionately hate on it, because other people don't use custom tracks in their myhouse.wad map01. It's not even "overused" in the Dead Simple way, it's just left there to fill in for the lazy and the incompetent. Perhaps there's extra negative association at work here too, because such maps tend to be bad. I like Running From Evil. It has a memorable beat and a kickass long solo. My other faves tend to be the ominous slow tracks like Sign of Evil and Opening To Hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted March 19, 2015 Top 10 in no particular order: Into Sandy's City Sinister At Doom's Gate Demons On The Prey Sign of Evil Countdown To Death Doom The Demon's Dead Waiting For Romero To Play Getting Too Tense 0 Share this post Link to post
peach freak Posted March 19, 2015 My top tracks: Untitled (E3M1) I Sawed the Demons Nobody Told Me About id They're Going to Get You The Demons from Adrian's Pen Between Levels Into Sandy's City Doom II Story Text Waiting for Romero to Play Honorable Mention to Sinister. Probably the only track that really scared me in Doom (along with its corresponding level, E2M6). 0 Share this post Link to post
yakfak Posted March 19, 2015 favs: E1M3 MAP23 E2M6 E1M8 MAP09 E3M3 I dunno, most of 'em are infected with the bloody twelve-bar blues, including some of these picks. Never thought Doom had a particularly strong soundtrack to be honest 0 Share this post Link to post
SFoZ911 Posted March 19, 2015 Top 5 from Doom : "I Sawed The Demons". "Donna to the Rescue". "Untitled". "Kitchen Ace (And Taking Names)". "Hiding the Secrets".(go figure) Doom 2 : "Opening To Hell". "Message For The Archvile". "Between Levels". "Into Sandy's City". "The Healer Stalks". I don't think there's a track in doom that I dislike but I think doom 2 could use some more. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted March 19, 2015 Pls refer to the songs by map slots, not by their names ffs. Who the hell knows the names. :( My favorites are map02, map08, map18, map25, e2m4, e2m6 and e2m7. I consider them the ultimate IDMUS solutions to everything: they always fit. 0 Share this post Link to post

ASD Posted March 19, 2015 I particularly like the song "Waltz Of The Demons". Perfect for a penultimate, dark maze-like level with many obscure areas. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted March 19, 2015 I don't like D_RUNNIN because of the guitar solo. The song is okay up until about the rock organ, which unfortunately is about 5 seconds into it, and the guitar solo is too grating for me. I feel the same way about map20s guitar noises toward the end, which sound really unorthodox to me in an otherwise great song. I like the drum and bass songs like E1M2, MAP02, MAP06, and MAP25. I'd much rather see midi musicians in the doom community make more music in that sort of direction. Quiet and sneaky sounding, which sounds appropriate for when your searching for secrets or backtracking, etc. Doom Episode 1s music is mostly pretty stale to me by now, save for D_E1M8. I love Doom 1s scary hell music, like e2m2, e2m4, e2m6, and e2m7. Shame Doom 2 doesn't have much music like that, though I've recently had a newfound love for MAP03, MAP05, and MAP28. Some other random faves are map07 (slayer drum solo :)), map23, map31, e3m2, e3m3, doom 1 intermission music, doom 2 text music, and d_bunny. 0 Share this post Link to post

driftyloon Posted March 21, 2015 Can someone tell me why everyone seems to hate map23's music. I thought that it was awesome and one of my favourites. The song that it is based off is also brilliant. 0 Share this post Link to post

The song that it is based off is also brilliant. It's too monotonous/repetitive and belongs in a joke level, like Barrels o' fun. Don't put it in a long painful map, please. When you make your megawad, try not to stop with new music before MAP23. 0 Share this post Link to post
Archi Posted March 22, 2015 I can't think of bad songs, they are all good in some way. Most favorite are: E1M8: Sign of Evil. E2M4: They're Going to Get You. MAP28: Getting Too Tense. MAP30: Opening to Hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
NuMetalManiak Posted March 22, 2015 my favorites are Donna to the Rescue (E3M2), Sign of Evil (E1M8), and Hiding the Secrets (E1M9). I don't really like most of the Doom 2 tracks except maybe Shawn's Got the Shotgun (MAP07). 0 Share this post Link to post

I like the thought of the skulls spawning and the place growing more evil as well as the telefrag possibility - I wish map 30 had more instakill opportunities against the player. 0 Share this post Link to post
