Best EA NHL songs?

[nightonthesun]

How has Minerva by Deftones not been mentioned yet?

I love this song. Forgot it was on an NHL game.

I don’t remember on which NHL it was, but what about «One Armed Scissors» from At the Drive In?

One of my favorite bands of all time; which game? I don’t remember this

Almost all the good ones have been posted, for a newer one I'll add:



older, my definitive childhood PC game:

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The intro videos were something special for a very brief window of time. Bowie's Heroes tops them all, but has been mentioned a couple times before.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

The whole soundtracks on NHL 2003 and 2004 are legendary. Basically the two games that set the groundwork for my general music taste. Shoutout to NHL 2005 and 2006 too.

The defining song for me Treble Charger - Hundred Million (NHL 2003). Starting a game and seeing that song playing in an intro just got me fired up and jammin.

Greenwheel - Strong (NHL 2003) is one that has definitely been underrated and stood the test of time. That whole album is awesome. Too bad they never hung around after that album.

2003:
- Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness
- Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
- Gob - Sick With You
- Gob - I've Been Up These Steps
- Blindside - Pitiful
- Trapt - Headstrong
- Dragpipe - Simple Minded

2004:
- Brand New - Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
- Deftones - Minerva
- Bowling for Soup - Punk Rock 101
- Modern Day Zero - Down
- Autopilot Off - Clockwork
- Alien Ant Farm - S.S. Recognize
- Ataris - Radio #2

Quiet Things is the best song off an NHL soundtrack, the best song used in the Stanley Cup celebration cutscene, and honestly one of the best songs of all time. Brand New is a GOAT tier band.

And if you actually believe none of the songs off these soundtracks are good, give your head a shake.

I haven't played since the early 00's but this song was great. I think I saw Gob open for Sum41 around the same time as well.

This brings so so many memories, and feelings.. almost can taste it. Good stuff<3

 

[ElectricDreamMachine]

Like most I prefer the older soundtracks 99-09 but I really like these two songs from Nhl 18 and 19 and they bring back some great memories of our EASHL clubs early phase. I've been muting the soundtrack since 21.

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

NHL music is awesome. I hope they don't pollute the games with a lousy 90% rap playlist like on Madden and 2K

 

[M88K]

This list is to devoid of NHL 2004, which had the best soundtrack but was also the last really good EA NHL game

 

[Dale Gribble]

It's funny because I really disliked the song, but after "only" a few short hours of hearing it on NHL 2003, I think of it as one of the best hockey songs of all time.

Bayside's Walking Wounded in NHL 08.

 

[JianYang]

Jeff Van Dyck (NHL 98 / 99):

Haha, I'd purposely go really slow on the menu screen when this track would come on.

What a gem.

In general, I found the fifa tracks to be significantly better and more memorable than the nhl tracks. For nhl, I have a few I like here and there, but there isn't a specific year which clearly stands out.

Nhl 2004 has a great soundtrack

Ah man, the memories!

NHL 04 OH Ellin what can i do ,there is nothing aside from you

Came to say this

 

[BB79]

Couldn't tell you, first thing I do is turn off menu/arena music when I start playing. Crowd down to 50%, goal horn and sfx to 100%. Repetitive music gets annoying

 

[Slats432]

My favourite was when XBOX 360 would allow me to load my personal music to the game.
