7Golden VGM is not ranked in any order, it is simply a list of the best music.

Man, it's crazy how far I've gotten into this list without picking a theme from the awesome Super Mario RPG soundtrack. Anyone remember this game?
Gosh, feels so long ago. The creative and wacky nature this game had... *sigh* ...Sure doesn't exist anymore. What with Nintendo's increasing white-washing of the Paper Mario series and their complete disconnect from the fanbase that's really starting to blow up in their face with their unveiling of Colour Splash (rightfully so I might add, it really does look like garbage).
On top of that, we had Paper Jam this year, and boy was it a letdown. As the 10th game in the Mario RPG series and a collaboration between both Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, they could have overloaded this game with fanservice to celebrate how far the series has come. Kinda like what Sonic Generations did.
But instead, we got a very hackneyed crossover, and a weak entry in the Mario & Luigi series. What's more, they could have gone one step further and added some characters from this game. Wouldn't it be awesome to see Geno, Mallow, the Axem Rangers, Smithy and so on in the Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario visuals? That would have been a total treat for fans. But that sure as hell is not what happened.
All we can do is just relish in what Mario RPGs could be now as opposed to what they are. Nintendo, you're crossing a very thin thread.
