Top Tracks
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)

More Than Jerks was funny the first time around, but I think its lost its charm since. Same goes for the Friendly Demon Song.
Yea, that song is pretty cool, too!
Bosco's
Behind the Poppers
Cruisin'
Attack the Dog
Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Playland and Casino (as well as Just You and Me (And Ted E. Bear))

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.
Useful to Boot, The Office, and Cruisin' are all great, too.
Jared Emerson-Johnson is a genius.
Yea, that is my #1 right there. I listen to it all the time
Oh yes, sometimes I put the game only to hear that theme.
Jurgen's Lair Suite (love the Klezmer/Central European style)
Radical!
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.
Opening Credits
Regime Change
Неудобство
Good for You (Good for Me)
Lefty's 2.0
World of Max
Season 2:
T.H.E.M.
Freelance Police
Silent Shootout
La Canción De Los Mariachis
Absorptio Bullenscens Fatiscores Daemona
Season 3:
Opening Credits
Besides that, there's too many to name (mostly because I don't know their names )
- The Warehouse Docks (Very The Lost and Damned by the way!)
- Statue of Liberty Arrival
- Max flying up the Statue of Liberty
- Psychic Showdown
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 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.
