Revised edition!

#2 7 years ago

Bad Cats
Pinbot
Bride of Pinbot
Haunted House
Monte Carlo
F-14

Let my know if you all have ideas! Mainly pins not based off of bands or tv/movies unless it has original music! Like Johnny Mnemonic!

"How about another Ball"

BK2K

You could add Monster Bash's Frankenstein multiball theme--it has several nods to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein in it which is pretty sweet.

#8 7 years ago

Swords of Fury!

#9 7 years ago

Meant to add that one!

#10 7 years ago

WHERES THE LOVE FOR ROBOCOP? STEREO SOUND, MUSIC OF THE FUTURE

#11 7 years ago

Rollergames - all tunes catchy, but can't beat the Kick Butt song!

#12 7 years ago

SMVE.

#13 7 years ago

I voted BK2K, but F14 Tomcat would be a good option to add.

Rollergames RULES! I really want to pick one up!

#15 7 years ago

Bump- for more votes

When you hit the jackpot on Banzai Run, you will hear some great music.
But BK2K is awesome!
I also like the tune on pinbot when you enter a high score.

#20 7 years ago

Really missing Space Station and Robo War on this list... (aka you can never make a poll like this flawless)

I'm voting TX-Sector and Banzai Run for the ones that ARE on the list, though.

#21 7 years ago

Space Station, not only among the games in the list but absolute. Then Sof.

#22 7 years ago

Who else checked out Scott Danesi's "Total Annihilation" @ Expo ? now that I think of it that could be some of the best Pinball music ever & he composed it himself!

#23 7 years ago

BTW echo that Space Station rocks Too!!

#24 7 years ago

BK2K winning this poll shows that polls are won by popular machines, poeple wote them becuase they do not know the others. That soundtrack sounds cool the first few times you hear it, probably on some videos online. But after some times it gets really annoying. Same for Rollergames.

#25 7 years ago

I vote for CV.

I know people will think this is weird but I love Cyclone and Police Force music!

#26 7 years ago

You all have some great proposals! I would have added more pins but there is a limit! I voted TX-Sector!

#27 7 years ago

In case you haven't heard HoopsVery multidimensional sound track!

#29 7 years ago

Big Guns

Those choices are far from the best so I did not vote. CFTBL blows them all away. Diner is great. And although many seem to be annoyed by it I find White Water a great fit for the game.

Discussions about music, in general and for pinball, are always a very subjective matter. Even within the same music genre, opinions vary enormously.

It depends mainly on music genres.You can hear the best (genre) soundtrack ever, but if you do not like (genre), you will always prefer another soundtrack, in your favourite genre.

A pinball soundtrack should be judged on how exciting,how varied, how fits gameplay and theme. But I think we all put in the very first place the music genre. Wh2o has a good soundtrack no doubt, but I do not like that type of music, so I would never vote it. But its really so good that it manages to excite me during gameplay, and considering I do not like the genre, it means its a great soundtrack. But again, I would never vote for it in a poll. Because above all, what excites you the most, is a genre of music you love.

I tend to gravitate towards Punk and Metal but I can like a pin's music that isn't metal or punk. For example, I voted for TX-Sector. I think this game has an extremely creative soundtrack but I wouldn't go around listening to it on my phone. It's just a funny, cheesy and super 80's soundtrack. I constructed a poll that has a set amount of pinball machines to choose from. The challenge that I want to impose is that one is to choose from a list of what pin neccitates the most exciting and creative music, not music you'd go jam out to in a car haha. Unless of course you want to

You have a correct approach, but I guess most people choose their favourite soundtrack only among machines with music in genres they like.

For example, CFTBL has a good soundtrack, but I really cant stand rock'n'roll music. It could be the best soundtrack in the world, perfectly related and enhancing each stage of the game, with terrific sound quality.. but personally I would still be very badly annoyed by that soundtrack.

I agree! And thanks!

Another non voter in the poll.. I vote for Robo-War.. its awesome.

#39 7 years ago

I have to say Ghostbusters and Tron take the cake for modern machines.

#40 7 years ago

For me, the music tracks in pinball I like the most are:

- Total Annihilation by Scott Danesi (linked above... the guy is a retrowave junkie and it fits the theme perfectly)
- White Water
- Taxi
- Pinbot
- Twilight Zone (aside from the Golden Earring track, the rest of the music fits the bizarre theme perfectly)

#41 7 years ago

I'm also surprised nobody voted for Carlene Carter in RoadShow

Hey guys, for those of you that are curious about the music on Total Annihilation. Here is a new gameplay video.

Thanks!
