The lovely gentlemen at Rebel FM have a (somewhat) annual tradition of recording one really big podcast at year's end covering all the wild and wonderful twelve months in video game music.

This isn't the first music spectacular Rebel.fm has put together. You can find all of them here.

Even with the metric ton of music above there are naturally a lot of omissions, particularly amongst soundtracks from Japan. Including FFXV and Tokyo Mirage Sessions.) What else do you think they missed?

VA-11 Hall-A has some real juicy FM goodness, glad to see that in there.

It's not as in-your-face as most of what they featured, but I wish Stardew Valley got some recognition for a great chill soundtrack, perfectly befitting the tone of the game.
