In wake of the "rap sucks" thread, I thought it would be fun for people to share music they like, of any genre.
What's good, people?

If you like the kind of stuff you linked in this paragraph, then you would really like the OST of The Adventures of Batman & Robin for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, one of the few titles where the audio hardware was pushed to its limits.
The 3rd song in the list (titled "Big Boss") is basically 90s EDM or Techno, and will put out a lot of bass if you let it.
It's hard to believe this kind of thing was possible on that system. If I heard this by itself I would have suspected it came from some aspiring artist who liked the old fashioned sounds of the NES/SEGA era and recreated it on modern equipment. Thank you for the recommendation. Big Boss definitely has good legs, I like it.
If you'll indulge me one more time, I also recommend the soundtrack for Robotron 64 (N64) for the same reasons. The soundtracks really gets hardcore (for electronic music) as you get toward the later levels, as in you could take full advantage of a subwoofer when playing some of these tracks.
Alternatively, the PS1 version (titled "Robotron X", basically the same game) has a somewhat cleaner sound in exchange for most, but not all, of the N64 tracks being swapped out.
Consider yourself indulged! Both of these OSTs are great, but I think they're ultimately too hard for my recurring listening. I missed out on a lot of cool soundtracks from the early video game era simply by virtue of being too young to afford them myself. I'm glad there are archivers and fans who have them available for me to catch up.
