Boss encounter music

Which boss songs are your favorites?

For me
1. Dracula Battle CVIV
2. Room of close associates
3. Creature of the Depths (arranged from PS1 Chronicles)
4. First and Second boss themes from CVIV
5. Insane Aristocracy
6. Poison Mind CV1 and Drac X Chronicles
7. Walter's Theme

Stop me if you've heard this one.
A Belmont falls through a trap door into a square prison with no exits. After hitting three sides he smashes through the last one. Relieved and low on health he looks at the camera, smiles and says......"Pork chop?"
ULTIMATE FOURTH WALL BREAK!!! That just happened!!!

Which version?  SotN, CotM, DoS, or Judgment?

I think they did an excellent job with the Judgment and DXC "Dance of Illusions". Those are the ones I think are the best
What a horrible night to have a curse!

You forgot to mention the CV64/LoD version of 'Dance of Illusions'

Those two 64 versions are slightly different from each other. If you listen you will here the variance.

I like the Rondo and Drac x versions. I think I should have made this a top five or top ten topic

What are your top boss themes?

I agree that the room of close associates is an awesome theme. They should reuse that song in other games.

Dance of Illusions, especially DXC version, EPIC -and creepy BTW-
What is strange is that it has a lot of spanish influence like "pasodoble" and so it feels a lor more european than the rest of Japanese-moody tracks  :D

Everything comes full circle

Dracula Battle (or whooping) in Simon's Quest, such a worthy tune to the brooding build up to this moment in the game:

Hands down, SCV4 has the most epic boss music.
I'm surprised the boss songs from this game weren't remixed at least once.

A couple of the songs in LoI were almost as awesome, but not quite.

Amen Inccubus. I don't know if that music can be re-expressed without losing it's feel and nerve striking aspect. The music was simply perfect.

I think it would be neat to have full orchestral versions of them just to see how they sound.
Jorge did an arrangement of "Room of Close Associates", and that came out pretty damn sweet.
