Thinking of making an NES music CD.. suggestions?

I'm not sure if it'll play well as a driving CD, but I'm thinking about compiling some of the best NES game music and was just wondering if any of the old-school people here could drop some track suggestions. Hopefully some less-obvious ones because yes, I know the soundtracks to Mega Man 2 and Castlevania 3 rock.

So far this is what I've got:

Journey to Silius Level 1 (this rocks)
Guardian Legend Ending Theme
Wolverine Title Theme (seriously, fucking great track)
Mega Man 3 Title Theme
Zelda II Great Palace
Metroid Kraid's Lair
Metroid Ridley's Lair
Faxanadu (a track or three.. can't decide.. all good)
Legacy of the Wizard (a track or three.. can't decide.. all good)
Dragon Warrior III Dark World Theme (aka Alefgard)
Dragon Warrior III Zoma's Theme (could be Baramos' theme.. can't remember)
Dragon Warrior IV Hero's Theme (without friends)
Dragon Warrior IV Necrosaro's Theme
Zanac Level 1
Zanac Level 2 (?)
Ninja Gaiden Opening Cinemas

Still working on it, yes, it's slow day at work.

I always like the Mute City theme from F-Zero, but that's SNES.

Here's an obscure one that kicks all kinds of ass:

Startropics -cave theme
Crystalis- overworld, and that music in the ocean when you're riding on the dolphin. I need to play this game again seriously (note the gameboy version has redone music is way worse, get the NES one)

Castlevania II-Bloody Tears 'vania 3 is good but its a terible night to have a curse.
Super Mario Bros. 2- level 1-1
Gradius-level 1 otherwise known as burning heat
Double Dragon theme, a personal favorite of mine.
Punch Out- fight music, training is cool but you have to use both.


If I come up with more I'll post

Kind of off topic...

If you dig video game music check www.ocremix.org. The site is chuck full of remixed video game music and there is a lot of great music on the site. I found out about it on G4 and have been an avid fan of the site since.

Their mission statement:

OverClocked ReMix is a website dedicated to reviving the video and computer game music of yesterday, and reinterpreting that of today, with new technology & capabilities. This site's mission is to prove that this music is not disposable or merely just background, but is as intricate, innovative, and lasting as any other form.

Check out some of the MGS2 remixes, especially the ones by Ben Cousins and Reuben Kee, the Zelda Lost Woods remix by Ben Cousins and Zelda Wind Waker Ancient Hero by Darkesword.

The advantage do some pretty amazing covers too. Minibosses have more style but the advantage pull off some amazing stuff. Both are worth checking out.
