[Max Cow Disease]

I'm normally not all that picky with menu music and the odd tune in the NHL games has been very good, but a lot of the time their soundtracks are pretty tripe. I like what Madden did this year: instead of piling everyone onto the gangsta rap/hip-hop train, or any other sort of contemporary music, they've reverted back to standard - yet epic - instrumental scores designed to simply get you all pumped up to play football. It's like the games of our childhood.

I have some great memories of shuffling through menus, signing free agents, and doing my business as a GM in the NHL titles over the years, but so many of those memories are equally marred by goofy punk rock tunes and whiny voices that I can't detach from the experience in my mind. I've always tended to more so enjoy Fifa soundtracks over the years for some reason, too.
