For those who own the soundtracks, what are your absolute favorite songs in the Sam & Max Telltale Games? The ones that you could listen to over and over again?

My absolute favorite is tied between The Black Hole (S1D1, Track 13) and The Office (S1D1, Track 3)

But there are definitely a few other ones that I simply can't get enough of:
Cruisin' (S1D1, Track 11)
Roy G. Biv (S1D2, Track 27)
T.H.E.M. (S2D1, Track 1)
Fugue and Dies Irae (S2D2, Track 10)

    Agreed on the Devil's Playhouse. I think it's Jared's best work yet!

    More Than Jerks was funny the first time around, but I think its lost its charm since. Same goes for the Friendly Demon Song.

    I might have to go with the map theme from act 1 of episode 303.

    The entire Noir Jazz themes from Act 1 of They Stole Max's Brain for me! That and the Tarin Station theme from both 205 and The Penal Zone.

    The Noir Sam themes from "They Stole Max's Brain!" and the all new Subway theme that is heard in The Penal Zone. I also enjoy the song that is played on the train in 302 and in 106 I enjoy "Max World". I also like Attack the Dog and T-H-E-M.

    Both of the mexican songs in 204 are also enjoyable and so is 4:58. What else is good to listen too? Oh yes, Jurgen's Lair Suite.

    I've been listening to Twilight Eternal, Radical! and the opening to the Devil's Playhouse a lot lately.
    Useful to Boot, The Office, and Cruisin' are all great, too.

    Jared Emerson-Johnson is a genius.

    "Cogs in Motion," "El Molcajete de Almas" and "Fugue and Dies Irae." Plus most everything from TDP, especially the remade themes.

    For comedy value, gonna mention "You, Me and Ted-E-Bear", loved that song as soon as I heard it.

    The new street theme from 301 and also the train music in 302.

    Radical!, Twilight Eternal, and Fugue and Dies Iraes are my three favourites. I love those.

    I also like... A lot of the music in the first two seasons, but I think nostalgia is starting to have an effect. I haven't listened to the music in the Devil's Playhouse enough to be sure what music I like from there, but I'm a big fan of the opening credits music.

    Well, with 304 now out, There are a good few tracks here that are just brilliant, namely:

    - The Warehouse Docks (Very The Lost and Damned by the way!)
    - Statue of Liberty Arrival
    - Max flying up the Statue of Liberty
    - Psychic Showdown

    It really is difficult to name favorites just because Jared Emerson-Johnson/Bay Area Sound did an incredible job.

    That said, there are a few I find myself going back to frequently:

    Woo - Not much love for this one, it seems, but Jared did a fantastic job incorporating the Belafonte sound (the references -- bordering on quotes in places -- to "Jump in the line" are particularly notable)

    El Molcajete De Almas - Another favorite. First portion Mexican Mariachi ending up in what Jared has described in interviews as Argentinean influenced ballad/tango. What's not to like?

    Regime Change is nice from Season 1, as is You and Me and Ted E. Bear, the Don Ted E Bear waltz, and of course World of Max and Good for You, Good For Me (The War Song).

    I dunno, over all, I think I prefer the Season 2 compositions. For the most part, Season 1, while good, seemed mostly to be smaller incidentals rather than the larger themes of the second season.

    And yes, as for Season 3's sound design, the opening credits are nice with their "Dr. Who" influence, but I think I'm still waiting for a really stand out piece.

    I really love the soundtracks for both Season 1 and Season 2. My all time favorite is, and always will be Fugue and Dies Irae. I loved it so much that I did an arrangement of the piece for a saxophone quartet. ;)

    I have other very good favorites that come close:

    Cruisin'
    Moonscape
    Quiet on the Set
    The Office
    The Office 2.0
    City Streets
    Citty Streets 2.0
    The Black Hole
    Don Ted E. Bear Waltz
    Hugh's Inner Sanctum


    Moonscape and Hugh's Inner Sanctum come to a close second and third. All the music is amazing- Jared ties in jazz and classical music into a really nice mixture that is really appealing to the ear.
