Bah! It's a very hard question indeed, and normally I can't be bothered with top lists etc, but this time I'll represent.

Scroll Machine/Yip.

I don't have one single favourite, but if I have to choose just one distinctive and sort of unusual piece reflecting my personal views, way of life, values, and even opinions that would be:

Deel 3

http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/T/Tel_Jeroen/Deel_3.sid

...by Jeroen Tel. It's going ang going a never stops, it's optimistic, witty, vital, inspiring (!) and makes me jump around the place. I can listen to it in loops.

As mentioned it is impossible to have _one_ favourite. What I miss in this list though, are, amongst others (and amongst mentioned):

Wally Beben's Tetris
Antony Crowther's R1D1
Decoder's Driven Special #1 & Driven #8
Ed's Last Aproach
Jeroen Tel's Supremacy
CreaMD's Driven #10 (brb) & Driven #15 (compromise)
Liket's Draztic Art
Orcan's Ocean
Mitch and Dane's Gloria
Dwayne Bakewell's Summer Heat

..to be continued.

imho there are heaps (mitch)dane tunes that are better than gloria. gloria is too much one the lolly pop commercial side to me.

kemikal
maine
shorty
leaving on a jetplane
blowtorch
deadline
_true love fails_
_under the edge_
till death do us part
...
...

Guy Shavitt also made some tunes which deserves to be a lot of ppls fave.

Yeah, I truly adore Maine and it should have been mentioned in my above list. Afaik it is made by Dane though, at least according to HVSC, though it was released under their common flag in 1996 (Bondage).

So Mitch(Dane) won't do, as they are two persons. I have been aware of this since 1995.

Agreed on Guy Shavitt. Don't forget some Prosonix-tunes, like Lars Hoff's Recovery.

David Whittaker's Leviathan

The note-tune from Coma Light 12, gotta love that one.

Okay, i'm putting up my two favourite tunes, mostly because they are more personal than technically brilliant/appealing..

See Ya - Zenox : from my personal favourite demo Gandalf's Last/Starion, where some people's poured coke into the 2000 ad's guys computer (or vice versa) .. I got this demo at the end of the year it came out, which was a pretty big feat considering the distance and the fact most people were gamerlamer kiddies trading warez on the bus before/after school :)

Deadline - Rock : The definitive crack intro tune.. Nothing else says cracktro like this tune, 2 giant transcom logos swinging, bubbles across the screen and nice 4x4 (?) scroller.. Tune is really well designed and technically brilliant also. When i saw this intro for the first time i'd been in contact with some actual sceners for a while and would make the mega-hike (40 kilometres south) out to Illawong to kick their arse in street fighter. We'd all bullshit about how hardcore it was and etc etc etc..

Besides, it's impossible to pick one tune and at an average of 4k a tune you will able to take more than one if you are going to be stranded on a desert island.

Besides Fade's 2 ghey entries, Id like to mention Batman - JCH. First time I heard this tune was in Geggin's first part in one of the Wonderland series. The part built up nicely with the tune, and all those splits back then even made some amiga guys' jaws drop at a copyparty we were at.

Theres many good sid's, theres many great sid's, and if pushed to pick just one, then it would have to be a tune from Wizball by Martin Galway, the tune appears on the high score table, and sounds laid back and very cool.

I liked the tune so much, it was used it for the intro to the compo picture 'Sex, Death, Art' :)

Jeroen Tel's Supremacy/turbo outrun/battle valley =)

Vindicator by Jonathan Dunn. - they did a studio version on synths, does anyone remember that?

Led storm / tim follin - the subtune 2 or 3? funky vibes.

bmx kidz / Jori Olkkonen - very cool hiscore/ambient sounding long tune.

green beret / martin galway as used in Circlesque
Circlesque

kettle tune was good, was a funky version of polly put the kettle on? hehe

turbo charge - by sonix systems and odie's JMJ calypso (slight biased ;-) )

thaantos by robb hubbard with always remind me of Derby Ram, he used it in an intro, for me it kinda became associated with him.

antirad - richard joesph , very dramtic.

mission ad - fred grey

galway's game over music and a lot of the sample based stuff he did.

Matt Gray did some nice tunes

as for my favourite out of all of them, Tim Follin for bionic commando amongst many other tunes. Yes people go on about Tel,Galway and Hubbard, but forget him.

as for the demo scene.. hhmm 1000's more =)

Regarding Ben Daglish's "Kettle" tune, is it really a rendition of "polly put the kettle on" ?
It has a slight resemblance in some parts i guess. The Kettle tune is one of my top favorite tunes, its so awesome funky.

Steel, I just downloaded the sid as I'd not heard it in years. I'm on about tune 1... not 2, I heard that most of heard in loads of intros.

the riff on tune one is based on "polly" but funked up =)

listen about hhm 26 seconds in. It's like Polly went to a jazz club.hehe

http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/3607/polly.mid

thats another funked up version. It's like a kids nursery ryme well known in the uk, not sure about the rest of the world.

as for the led storm/follin tune, it was tune 5 and reminds me of some of JCH's and vibrants jazzy style =)

Hi Pixeline.
For a direct link to the tune, go to: http://www.c64.org/HVSC/MUSICIANS/Z/Zabutom/Everything_is_a_Sym..
Don't forget you'll need either Sidplay 2/w or a sidplay plugin for Winamp to play .sid files.

And, stating the obvious in 2008, entering "Everything is a Symptom" in the search field on the top right of the page brings you directly to it.

Thanks Conrad,

Hi Steppe,

yup, i should have tried it, i'm just getting to know the website, and i didn't understand at first that the CSDb website has everything C64 related. I didn't see a "music" repository in the main menu so didn't expect the file to be available.

well, now i know, thanks for the head up !

Laxity's "Alibi" still kicks ass. Very emotional and lots of expression in that one. I remember at a Bonzai meeting, Scortia and Slide (Amiga dude)played it live on acoustic guitar and electric guitar. That was pretty amazing and could nearly make grown men cry. :-)

Nearly? Oh come on Jeff.. you can share with us.. just friends here ;) hehe

Seriously continuing on that line though.. Lars Hoff's Recovery (also mentioned somewhere above) is an excellent one, although my all-time-shit-is-noone-watching-me-tune is Trick Bag by Dane! He's done great tracks since (many of them in my favorites list) but nothing grabs me more.. damn, from 1995 already.. where does time go..

Matt Gray - Last Ninja 2 (tune 12)

It keeps me up at late nights. :)
But it's really hard to decide, as I like so many...
Tetris, Delta, Turrican 1-3, Plush2K, Turbo Outrun, Tubbs and Valerie (by Ramiro Vaca), Nibbles, Sanxion (was covered very nicely in fr-010.scx "Art")... and many many more.

What I like about this thread is, that I hear so many new tunes now. Thanks alot!

It's tough between Drax's Tristesse and Laxity's Alibi.

Both VERY melodic with a sad flavour.

I'm not sure, but it would probably be a tune by Rob Hubbard.

Definitely one by Hubbard. Pretty hard to choose just one.

Crazy Comets, Commando and International Karate spring to mind, but also Lightforce (even though Hubbard never really liked the final version, but I thought it was brilliant) and Monty on the Run are not to be forgotten.

Hard to choose one, but I like Anvil_02.sid by Anvil. To me, it has that certain "fresh" sound that I can't find in most tunes. Either that, or I must be crazy ;)

picking one is too hard but it's probably The Captive by ??? (I know this has been voted one of the worst sids somewhere but I love it...it's like Gentle Giant or something like that)

other top picks:
Zzap69 - Green Tomato
Trygve Gundersen - Eat Maniac
Tim Follin - Bionic Commando
Rob Hubbard - Wiz
Ben Daglish - Chicken
? - Frankenstein

My favourite C64 tune right now is probably Goto80s unreleased dub version of the likewise unreleased Goto80-tune called matsam0te. :)

Only available in the underground C64 scene, outside of the mainstream C64 scene. ;)

Amorada - Boogaloo

But the best tune is without contest:
Arcade Classics - Rob Hubbard

There’s too many great tunes to choose from. My answer could very from month to month. Hawkeye (Tune 1)/Jeroen Tel, Rambo/Martin Galway are among the options.

Today I’m going to say: Tristesse/Drax
