Six Greatest Sports Game Soundtracks of All Time

[Wa1337]

NBA Live 2005 - Our lyfe by Wylde Bunch. Nuff said.

Can I add a dishonorable mention? NHL 09-- that "We are the Warrior" song was catchy, in the most horrible, fingernails-against-blackboard, kinda way.

Seriously? To be fair, I never played '09 and haven't heard most of the soundtrack, BUT, upon research it contained: Running Wild by Airbourne, Afterlife by A7X and Hearts Burst Into Fire by Bullet For My Valentine... all three of which are awesome songs.

Anyway, my pick is Madden 05 and 06 and I'll throw 09 in there as well. Awesome bands such as Alter Bridge, Chevelle, Faith No More, Franz Ferdinand, 30 Seconds to Mars, Disturbed, Bullet For My Valentine, A7X, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, Trapt, The Offspring, Trivium and Hollywood Undead made for some awesome sound tracks

I agree most of my music tastes come from ea games from 04-06

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is better than all of those games.

SSX3? bro FIFA99 Bro?

I wanted to put SSX 3 but I only remember one or two songs.
"and the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply"
My favorite line to a song ever.

Single best Songs i´d rank NHL 99 very high, just because i think that Bowie´s "Heroes" is just about the perfect song and should be mandatory part of every sports game (and i´m still mad that the Olympics didn´t get him to perform it at either the opening or closing ceremony)

If we're doing single songs, I'll nominate Heavy by Collective Soul off of NHL 01, but there were only two songs on that game, and the techno song was super annoying, so it doesn't even come close as far as sound tracks go.

That song was "The Warriors of time" Great soundtrack NHL 09. I believe it also had "Runnin' wild" by Airbourne as well. If ever there was a great arena intro to get your blood pumping that was it!

In no particular order:
MVP 2005
NHL 10 - despite the ****ty blackhawks song they used since they couldn't get the rights to Chelsea Dagger
SSX3
MLB 11: The Show
Fifa World Cup 2000

Honorable Mention: Madden 2000 if only cause I used to be able to do the entire Ludacris rap from the intro for the following 2 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1prWUfkud0
