15 Video Game Series Defined By Their Incredible Music

Donkey Kong Country

When you think of Donkey Kong Country, what song immediately begins playing in your head? Is it the one Cranky cranks up on his record player? Is it Aquatic Ambience? Is it the level selection screen? Need we say more?

With such a unique art style and style of gameplay, it’s remarkable that the music shines as brightly as it does. It’s perfectly Donkey Kong, perfectly jungle, ethereal and moving, and a game full of songs that you’d be hard pressed to find not featured on a list of all-time best video game songs.
