    I still think the best song from any game is Baba Yetu.
    The Grammy Award voters agreed with you.

    is it still the only game that won a grammy?

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    So far. The year after Baba Yetu won, the Grammy Awards changed the criteria of the “Visual Media” category to include “Motion, Television, Video Game Music, or Other Visual Media”. That year (2012) the soundtrack for Journey was nominated for “Best Score Soundtrack“ in that category (but didn’t win). But no other game music has actually won it yet.

    That is one help of an achievement but very well deserved

    Well it is good, but I am not sure if it is grammy good. Anyway, reminds me a little bit of Lion King I guess..

    It’s very reminiscent of the Lion King.

    Here is a choir singing the song and getting the “golden buzzer” (automatic advancement past auditions) on America’s Got Talent for their performance of the song:

    Clearly the song has an appeal that reaches far beyond the video game market.

    Epic songs are a plus. The most important are voices and grunts/groans/moans during a combat. I get bored of games that only have sound effects and music but doesn't feel like I'm playing the character at all.

    *plays female character*
    In the middle of an epic bossfight.
    *character suddenly grunts and moans erotically*
    *whole raid stops*

    For me Epic Music like "Answers" and "Dragon Song" from Final Fantasy XIV, inspires me to really dig deep into the story and readies my heart for battle, and to protect my cause. It's one of those songs that will become nostalgic later in life.
