You forgot about Nethergate. Just FYI.

Geneforge 3's music is nice, but it doesn't fit the opening picture and overall theme.

Also forgot Exile 3, which had a nice little opening chord.

Anyways, I voted Geneforge 2, that theme is just so haunting.

Anyone who can't remember all the themes might want to go visit Tyranicus's site http://music.nethergate.net, in order to refresh their memory.

I meant this for the newer ones (not Exile).
Also, I have never played Nethergate, but I am planning on playing the newer one once it is out for windows.
Geneforge 4 intro music is awesome.

Geneforge 2 has the best music. It's epic and powerful, no cheesy little flutes or piano. And it goes so well with the picture in the begining, setting the stage perfectly for a great game.

Edit: How come Tyranicus's site doesn't have Exile III's music? That one has a special place in my heart being the first Spiderweb game I played. I still think of it whenever I see the Spiderweb logo.

In terms of which music goes with which game best, well, there's obviously Nethergate. But since that's not in the poll, Avernum 2. Geneforge 1 is a very, very close second, though. Geneforge 2 is nice, but it doesn't work so well when compared to the music of the rest of the series.

Geneforge 3's music is just bad. It doesn't match up with the intro picture or the rest of the series. The music for Avernum 4 and Geneforge 3 would work better if switched.

Yes, because electric guitar and piano makes perfect sense for an underground fantasy rpg. You are all so white it's not even funny.

The poll's about which you like best, not which goes best with the game.
And electric guitars and pianos go with everything. :P

I finally got around to extracting the music. Resource-extraction from 16-bit apps isn't all that easy. Anyway. the music from every Spiderweb game can be found here now.

Nethergate's is the best. A2's is the second best. A3's has always bothered me for some reason, and A4's doesn't match the game and gets old very, very quickly.

—Alorael, who has recently had reason to notice that the A4 intro should never be looped.

...I'm getting a serious feeling of deja vu. Except this poll left out all of the Exile games.

But nonetheless, I'm going to go with the A2 music, since I have yet to play Nethergate.

Avernum 4. Not sure why. I have to say I liked all of the intro musics except for the two Blades games (which are also missing, FYI.)

I liked avernum 2 the best, my second would be nethergate, and third would be Exile III.

I accidentally voted for Avernum 2 while playing Avernum 1's music in my head. I actually love A1's theme. I can't stand A4's, G2's, or G4's.

I'd love to hear a longer, complete piece based on the theme of Avernum 2. Of the others... Avernum 3 is nice, Nethergate is kind of cool, Blades of Avernum isn't bad either. I couldn't stand any of the Nethergate themes for some reason - especially GF2 with its repetitiveness.

I find music in games to be distracting especially games with complex puzzles.

I can picture you dancing to Avernum 2's theme, loser. Then again, I'm just as bad, I raise my hand in the air like that shaper in the pictuer whenever I hear Geneforge 2's.
