Put your vote for the EA game with the abolute worst licensed soundtrack. My pick is for SSX 3, what with the Yellowcard and other sub-Warped Tour bands. It didn't add too much to the extrem-o-city.

BURNOUT LEGENDS for the PSP. Jesus fuck. Like 15 shitty emo/pop-punk bands I've never heard of plus Goldfinger. And it sounds all tinny coming from the PSP speakers.

Burnout 3 was awful.

The worst thing about the Burnout 3 soundtrack was the way you only had the option to turn the tolerable songs off. The insufferable ones had to stay.

Why is "We are the lazy generation" the song on the opening credits? Like, who decided that? Couldn't they have come up with some stupid instrumental jingle, at least?

Supposedly there is some trick via putting decent songs on one's memory stick to make a custom soundtrack for Burnout Legends but I have yet to figure it out. I hate EA.

Madden 06 has a HORRIBLE soundtrack except for the 10 classic NFL films songs. So I de-selected all the rap and aggro-rock and it was like playing the best video game ever.

John Facenda? No, I wish. But I do my own John Facenda impression when I play the game, and sometimes I recite:

The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along
swaggering boisterously
His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He'll knock you 'round and upside down
And laugh when he's conquered and won.

Yup. "The Voice of God". That's him.
