I would like people posting their best pinball tunes. And please keep the obvious games out, like Guns & Roses, IJ, Elvis and so on 
I just love the music in both TX-Sector and Genesis.

Funhouse is my iPhone ringtone - has some great music, a lot of Chris Granner's music is really good.
I think LOTR has some great sound and music in it - even after the game is over the music switches up and is awesome
TX sector some cool tunes
Quoted from tatman9999:I think my GNR .
Okay now I need to mention Tommy... 
Well one that would surprise would probably be time machine.
My 5 yr old will sing this to you word for word. he can't play the game with out singing along with it.
I adore Pinball music and sound with a soft spot for synthesizer-era works.

I like LW3, the songs are not annoying to me and you can change them based on how you feel.

Heavy! Metal! Melt-DOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN!
but in an awesomely bad way
I find the women singing in bk2k to be very annoying.
I agree, way crazy
MB has great music during multiballs and also when your game is over during the match.
FT has the music I love to hate, sometimes can't get it out of my head! There is catchy music while entering your initials in FT as well. A PAPA (Bowen) tutorial said that music was specially composed for that and nothing else.
SS boogey music is also fun.
While on the topic of music, I never appreciated the music in pins until playing them in a home env. It the arcade days it was always hard to hear the music / audio due to other machines, blown speakers, or volume cranked down. A pity really because the sounds are so great on so many pins.
It's slightly off topic, but my favorite computer game music is from "The Last Ninja" on the Commodore 64. A true 8-bit classic!
Its not really pinball music per se, so i didnt mention it earlier, but tommy has great music and sound. The soundrack is 11 songs i believe.
Taxi and Diner are my favorites. Chris Granner did both. He wrote did a lot of the music for the machines listed above.

IIRC, Black Knight 2000 won an award when it was released, for Best Pinball Music To Date.
I really like almost all of BK2K's music, with only the exception of the 'after you get the jackpot' music, because it's all too short and repetitive.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see love for an old favorite of mine, Swords of Fury. It's definitely more subtle than most pinball music, but it's certainly a classic. One overlooked bit where Swords really shines is the high score music, which a friend of mine once looked up and claimed it was a Bach fugue, but I don't remember which one he said it was, and I haven't tried looking it up myself.
One pinball machine with great music I would never bother to own, and which didn't have a whole lot else to recommend it, is Bad Cats.
The 5x 99K bonus music in Taxi is another excellent bit.
And finally, I would be remorse if I didn't mention the well-known Bach organ Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, which is the main-level music in the 3-level classic Haunted House.
I think the Dude's idea was to make the best thread about pinball music, not a thread about the best pinball music, although the title is ambiguous 
I'd love to participate and upload some funky tunes from some machines I have, but they're not set up at the moment... HH's Toccata and Fugue in D minor would be my first choice 
As for love of pinball sounds, apart from a lot of the early 80's elecro-drone sounds like from BH and Electra, I'd say BSD is one of my favourites, the way the pop's are built into the music is excellent!
Quoted from NimblePin:Castor is a treat too, when you can get it...
How DO you get this NP? Is it during the DP multiball??
Quoted from NimblePin:Well this guy DEFINITELY has it for sure! [
]
That is a full back as well! Beyond hardcore, tiptoeing slightly into "Albacore" territory...
Hopefully the guy didn't get bored of the game a few months after having this done!! This was my first ever pin by the way, and I still have the very game (after buying it back from the guy I sold it to when I got bored of it)... I loved the game, but after a while it becomes too easy... it was my only pin for around a year, so I did get a LOT of plays on it!!
