Touhou musical tastes/questions
Garlyle:
Hmmm...
EoSD... I used to love it, but it's kinda hard to compare to anything after due to quality levels. They don't even feel quite the same as the other games do... T.T; Not that it's bad, but...
I don't care for most of PCB's music, save for the final boss & stage tunes (The way they're built is just wonderful, to build up to such powerful tunes). Ancient Temple and Till When? aren't bad either, and I enjoy Doll Judgment a lot, but the rest of the music... ... bah. I forget most of it.
IN, I absolutely adore Maiden's Capriccio and Love-Colored Master Spark, and Voyage 1969 is my favourite final stage song in the series, excluding maybe one other. Eastern Youkai beauty is also damn good, and Mooned Insect would be my favourite stage 1 theme but for UFO. Final boss tracks are damn good too (Love Lunatic Princess), but most of the stage music I don't pay much attention to, and I've stopped caring for Invisible Full Moon and Deaf To All But The Song.
PoFV, I'll just say that I dislike most of the tracks except Poison Body, Wind God Girl, and, of course, Fate of Sixty Years (Which makes up for the rest of the soundtrack)
MoF is good overall, but I find I pay the music little attention and don't find it too memorable, excepting, of course, Sanae onwards. Faith Is For The Transient People I waver on whether or not I like it, but Cemetary of Onbashira is my second favourite final stage song, Suwa Foughten Field may be my favourite final boss tune, and Native Faith is love. Oh, and Dark Road. But again, I forget most of the rest.
SA to me is the best so far. Although A Flower Studded Sake Dish and Nuclear Fusion have kind of stopped growing on me, the rest hasn't. Dark Blowhole is my favourite Stage 1 boss tune, Green-Eyed Jealousy is the only stage 2 boss theme I find worth remembering, but stage 4, 5, and Extra are just heaping piles of awesome.
...Oh, then there's UFO. God damn ZUN, if the rest of the soundtrack is as good as what was in the demo, SA will be beaten in my mind.
And StB. Odd fact: StB I actually lve the title/menu music for. Most of the time, menu, credit, and ending music is forgotten by me, but...
RainfallYoshi:
I don't know that there's any songs I don't like... I'll just go through this on a game-by-game basis.
EoSD: So many awesome songs. <3 Even if the quality isn't as good as the later games, it still has so many great pieces. One of my favorites musically.
Stages: 3,4,5,6,EX
Bosses: 2,3,4,5,6,EX
PCB: Not as much sticks out to me in PCB, but it still has some amazing tracks. I think I will agree that Yuyuko's boss fight and music choreography is epic win though.
Stages: 2,3,5,6
Bosses: 2,3,4,6,EX
IN: Amazingness. Great music here, there's a lot to love. Probably my 2nd favorite behind EoSD. Cinderella Cage, Lunatic Eyes, History of the Moon, Lunatic Princes... so much good.
Stages: 1,2,3,4,5
Bosses: 1,2,4,5,6a,6b
PoFV: Uhhh... yeah. I really just don't care much for the music in this game... it's all just remixes that don't do the originals justice. I will say that Komachi's theme and Fate of Sixty Years are great though.
MoF: I haven't spent enough time playing this game to really know much about the music, but Suwa Foughten Field and Native Faith are infinitely amazing, I absolutely love them.
SA: Besides having my favorite character in it (Parsee ftw), SA has some amazing music in it. Parsee's stage theme and boss theme are both golden. Sanae's stage and boss themes are greatness as well. I actually love Rin's themes as well.
Stages: 2,3,4,5
Bosses: 2,3,4,5
I would have to say EoSD takes the cake for me, with IN a close 2nd and PCB and SA tied for 3rd.
Alice Fact:
Touhou music generally sucks. Remedy this by turning it off or getting soundtracks from other games.

Troll much? :P
Since I forgot to mention EoSD and PoFV:
EoSD has only a couple good stages(5, 6, EX) but Centennial Festival is hands down my favorite Extra theme (though Alice in Wonderland and Tomorrow Will Be Sunny are close). Bosses...come on, it's got the strongest theme! (2, 4, 5, 6, EX) And Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial is far and away my favorite track in all of Touhou...
(Sakuya :wub: )
PoFV is mostly reused stuff, but it's got Poison Body, Fate of Sixty Years, and FLOWER LAND. That is a zetta underrated track, people.
