What is your favorite Godzilla soundtrack? Mine is the Godzilla Final Wars soundtrack. I just wish I could find it on iTunes. As well as some other soundtracks.

I tried twice to post a list of my favorite scores and explain them, but the site crashed both times as I tried to post them and I wasted over an hour of writing. So here's the list but I won't bother explaining them for the third time.

Mothra vs. Godzilla

Son of Godzilla

Godzilla vs. Biollante

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

In all honesty, the Godzilla 2000 soundtrack isn't the best, but it's not bad either. I feel somewhat neutral about it. There are a couple tracks from it that I absolutely love like "Godzilla appears in Nemuro", "Giant UFO approaching", and "Extraterrestrial Life: The Birth". 

 

I apologize if I killed you with Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, I know how much you despise that movie. XD

Admittedly I like the music from vs. SpaceGodzilla far more than the movie, but I enjoy the themes in the Godzilla 2000 sountrack more. Neither score really fits the movie, but between the two I Godzilla 2000 has more variety.

I do agree that Godzilla 2000 does have a lot more themes and variety (I love Orga's theme!), but the instrumentals in the soundtrack are just meh. But that's just my opinion. :)

I love them all, its so hard to pick favorites.  But I'll take this opportunity to second Spacegodzilla.  Sorry if I've deeply offended anyone by that, but tough toenails.  Spacegodzilla is one of my favorite films in the series, and to the day I die I will never know why people despise it as much as they do.

If anyone wants a picture of me to use as a reference for the effigy they plan to construct and then nail to a cross, burn, and then hurl off a cliff, let me know and I'll shoot you a PM.

Hohohohoo, what a question. What a question indeed.

 

I listen to soundtrack music all the time; they take up a good 97% of my phone's music selection, growing just about every week. Of that, I'd say about 40-50% are Godzilla scores. It's hard to choose between them as a favorite; they all have good pieces in them.

 

So, I guess in no particular order, these are the ones I find myself listening too frequently:

Gojira

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

An Evening Of Special Effects Film Music (Does that count?....)

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

Godzilla 2000 (Mostly the Japanese Tracks, but there's an American one in the mix: Orga's Appearance)

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus

GMK

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla

Tokyo SOS

Final Wars

Godzilla 2014

 

Man I love soundtrack music. XD

Oh, and Zilla 1998. Say what you want for the movie, but the score is fantastic.

As much as I like the music from GINO, my main issue is that it seems like Arnold was reusing themes from Independence Day, which was a stronger score anyway. But the aliens theme and the GINO theme have some rather striking similarities.

Oh, there's simularities to other scores like mad. For instance, Zilla's main theme is a total rework of the Jurassic Park theme.

 

Nonetheless, it's still an awesome collections of tracks, especially Opening Titles, Joe Gets a Bite/Godzilla Arrives, Mayor's Speech, Animal's Camera, Godzilla O Park/ Godzilla Takes a Dive/ Godzilla vs The Submarine, and Big G Goes to Monster Heaven.
