Worst Pin Music

[Sam C]

Thought it would be interesting to see everyones thoughts on the worst music put together for a game.

I'm nominating Hurricane for my entry:

I can see what Williams were going for at the time, fairground style sort of melody...but it is absolutely awful. I think this music alone would put me off buying the game, its terrible.

Lets hear your worst music!

Fair play that's pretty bad!

 

[Johnnyo]

Without a doubt its Gilligans

Sent from my cheap Chinese smartphone

Sorry to those who love it - WOZ music makes me want to rip the speakers out!

 

[abaxas]

It has to be Indiana Jones (williams).

Everyone loves the IJ theme music but the rendition in the pinball machine is pure general midi / 'not by original artists' load of sh*te.

Obviously they couldn't afford the original recording, so spend 50p and got a monkey on a casiotone to re-record it.

 

[Spandangler]

I particularly disliked Dr Who.

Never played the real table but Goin Nuts is just abhorrent on Pinball Arcade.

Gilligans Island is the worst of ones I've played the real table of, makes you want to push the table over.

Have always liked this one, different strokes for different folks

 

[Paul]

IMO Teed off isnt too bad.... Hurricane tho.....

 

[Fintan Stack]

What are you guys on about you crazy mentalists?!! That Hurricane music is fecking brilliant!

 

[skweek]

Night Moves has some of the best/worst music:

(I personally quite like it, dunno what that says about me though!)

Agree with fintan stack. That hurricane music is pretty awesome.

Going nuts has got to be the worst...... Surely!! Never played a real one but surely!!! Surely !!!

Love Night Moves music!!

 

[Judge Dreads]

Twilight Zone, that is miserable as sin

 

[Davey D]

The noise that is blurted out of BlackKnight really grates my gears!!

Do you mean the 'noise' from the original BK or the finest pinball music of all time, BK2K?

 

[Carl Spiby]

I'd love cocktail pin, just because its quirky, not because they're particularly good (and its the only way I'd get a pin into the front room)

 

[Davey D]

Its the original BK that im on about. I quite enjoy the gameplay, but the sounds(noise) just get on my nerves

The general consensus is that people have played my Night Moves love it (including the music)

If we exclude Daz, who told us how much he hates it and then took the grand champ score in one credit

You mean the 'is it a horse or have I put m mobile phone too near a radio' noise?

Agreed, it's a bit gash, but in era.

 

[lukewells]

Black Rose has to have some of the worst pinball music ever right?

So cheesy!

But the worst part is that it sounds unclean / distorted most of the time

 

[Carl Spiby]

I don't particularly care for that machine at the best of times.

 

[johnwhitfield]

Never allowed a Fish Tales into my house due to the music. Champion Pub starts to grate after a few games (****, got that tune in my head now)

 

[Carl Spiby]

No way, Chris Granner did some of the best music in pinball.

Gonna have to disagree, I think this is one of the better sounding pins out there. I love the chiptune style pirate music.

Hahaha, that honky tonk piano music really gets stuck in my head after a few games

Blatantly Hook. The bonus sequence needs a mute button badly.

Hook is some of the best pin music ever

Back me up @Carl Spiby
