Best Musical Moment in RDR series

[RJX74]

I mainly wanted to see if people thought the "Unshaken" moment was better than the "Far Away" one. But I added all the tracks anyways in case people had other preferences.

i honestly like thats the way it is. its very emotional. and i just love being in that depressing mood. then it perks up when i hear my favorite character boss around grimshaw. as for credits song. i dont watch the credits so i just picked randomly.

[Sentinel Driver]

Where's the option for other than any of the above?

Some of my picks that I liked

 

 

 

 

And of course....

I have lots of favourite moments but some less stated ones here

This piano rendition sounds so much like an old standard that I was convinced for a while it was and I had heard it before many times.

 

This song never gets mentioned ahead of "Far Away"

The story songs in RDRII beat the pants off of the ones in RDR. I would still say 'Exodus in America' is the best though, perfect start to the series.

 

Underrated:

 

 

Have to say I like it most when the gang sings together though.

RDR's theme playing in "Jim Milton Rides, Again?" was fantastic, it was basically what I needed to finish the game after the thing that happened before "The Wheel"

 same goes for the other variation of it that plays during "American Venom".

Because I became obsessed with Red Dead from playing RDR1 but don't have the means to play RDR2 and won't for a while (plus I don't care about spoiling things) I've just been watching RDR2 videos like it's a movie and I've basically seen the whole game lol. And the music is amazing, I listen to both the RDR1 and RDR2 soundtracks daily and the addition of campfire songs sung by the gang in 2 with Arthur singing along the parts he knows is charming and heartwarming. So is the whole housebuilding song and scene. Ring Dang Doo and that potatoes song are hilarious and I also particularly like Rye Whiskey sung by Sean, Uncle and Arthur.

 

My favourite soundtrack/non campfire songs from RDR2 are American Venom (epic), That's the Way It Is, Unshaken, Come Live By My Side, the Lemoyne theme, the prison break theme and the first end credits song. 

 

Favourites in RDR1 are Far Away (the most breathtaking moment I've experienced in a game), Compass, Exodus in America, Born Unto Trouble (the music you hear in New Austin), the Red Dead Redemption theme, and a couple of songs from the soundtrack that I don't think are even in the game itself but are great (and I might've heard an altered version of the first one played by an NPC on harmonica) - Dead End Alley and Estancia. 

 

Shoutout to the Undead Nightmare soundtrack! I love the incorporation of spooky rockabilly/surf rock songs. Dead Sled by the Kreeps which plays while shooting zombies with the army on the train to Mexico is great, and the finest moment in the game is riding to the final battle in Escalera with the Kreeps - Bad Voodoo playing:

Man RDR2 had such an amazing soundtrack. It's what made 75% of the game for me.

For credits...

2. Mountain Hymm

3. Red

4. Cruel, Cruel World

I'd love to say "Far Away" but I whistled my horse from New Austin instead of picking the new one, so it didn't play.

 

I had a real blast with "Compass", that with the objective of going back to your family. Perfect videogame moment.

[A67]

How come no one has pointed out "You Are My Brother",that is literally the best musical display in the entire game.That combination of drums,guitar and violin is something else.

[TexasOdysseus]

Wha...no love for Ring Dang Doo??

 

LOL

Found this one completely at the end of 7h Session on YT, being an aging Johnny Cash fan cant say nothing else but....take it away, whoever the singer is  ( i guess its an EasterEgg but anyway ) :

"That's the way it is" is the one that hit me the most. I have it on my car playlist and gives me goosebumps every time. 

 

I'd like to mention Uncle singing Ring Dang Doo, and Rie Whisky too!
