Holy shit, the guy from Deep Purple is singing a boss theme from an RPG. How balls to the wall awesome is that!?!? Anyways to put fanboyism aside for a moment, this is overlooked mainly due to the blandness of the game itself as a rather cliched but traditional dungeon-crawling RPG, but that doesn't mean the music is, from Uematsu himself no less!

Uematsu has admitted to being a big fan of 70s classic rock music, so this must have been a fanboy's dream for him to get the lead vocalist of Deep Purple (they did Smoke on the Water if you don't remember which band that is, young 'uns), so the combination of Uematsu's badass rockin' and the amazing screaming rocker voice of Ian Gillan (who may I add is almost 70 by now) makes for a recent but criminally underrated videogame piece of awesome.
