I will add the composers later, as well as indicating which soundtracks are ineligible compilations.

EDIT (24/06/16): The compilations are in red, as well as the video games which have no available soundtrack. Some lists include all the soundtracks from a video game series, so I've linked the Wikipedia pages which summary these soundtracks in order to add them later (these series are so huge...).

Well, I'm always for more video game OST lists, especially since I posted that huge French one myself back in 2014 :) However, I'm pretty certain that most of these are ineligibile as they don't come from outlets specialized in soundtrack music or video game music. But does such a publication exist anyway? If it does, it must be some obscure college fanzine or a Japanese publication... So who knows.

Anyway, as you said Emilien, it might be good that you take a break from posting more lists for a while. Henrik has complained once already about having trouble to follow, here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3829

So cooling down might be in order ;) But thanks for the research effort anyway :greetings-waveyellow:

I don't think so. Les Inrocks are not specialized in soundtrack music, nonetheless their OST list is eligible.

Concerning Henrik, I know. But I don't request that all these lists should be added for the next update.
I prefered to submit all the lists I've found in order to let Henrik free to choose which lists are interresting for the next update. But it seems that it irritates some of AMers.

It personnally doesn't bother me that much, as if I didn't found lists interesting, I wouldn't be on this website at all :) But the thing is, the forum is a somewhat messy way of posting lists, so when there are many, some tend to get lost.

I've been thinking about this a lot, lately. I believe that a more accomplished system of classification might be necessary. I'll be sharing ideas if I found good ones.

Yes, that's thread necromancy, but I felt like I needed to. I added all of the lists that EmilienDelRey posted to the spreadsheet except for those ones - back then I was terrified by the difficulty of these lists. I've been places since then, and I now find those ridiculously easy :D

Those were conditionally validated by Henrik here:
Henrik wrote:

http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/forums/vi ... f=3&t=3883 All lists are eligible, as long as they are by multiple staff. I say this because video game soundtracks isn't really a music genre.
Turns out only the Rolling Stone list is ineligible.

Time had passed and I had somewhat forgotten about these lists but since then I have posted a couple of video game soundtracks lists myself and film soundtracks lists have been validated, so that changed the situation, and I was reminded of this group of lists. Besides, I had gone through horrendous lists since then courtesy of Le Mot et le Reste in particular, so putting these lists into shape is nothing in comparison. When I went back to it, I saw Emilien already started the job himself to make our lives easier but gave up midway, probably due to a perceived (and actual) lack of interest from the rest of the forum. I'm so sorry Emilien, I WAS actually interested by these lists, but I thought they were a lost cause back then :?

By "putting into shape", I mean transferring lists of "video games with great soundtracks" to the actual albums themselves. I decided to start from scratch as Emilien did a few mistakes, and it took me a while, but I managed to overcome the challenge.

So there you have it, all those lists are neat and tidy with the required annotations. My color code is the following:

Red: ineligible stuff.
Orange: problematic stuff. Generally soundtracks which are only available bundled with other soundtracks, or which are only available as bootlegs.
Blue: potentially useful miscellaneous info.

All that's left is litterally to add them to the spreadsheet, and I mean copy-paste them - I've checked everything so you can trust what you see below. It's 100% guaranteed to be correct, and I've adapted all the creditings and titles to fit the entries which are already in the spreadsheet. Only the orange stuff needs to be adressed. If you need to check anything, I've used the Vgmdb website, which is amazingly thorough:
