#QuestionOfTheDay what's an objectively bad/mid work of media that has a banger piece of music (or soundtrack) it absolutely does not deserve?
Share the music.
(This can include commercials that have a great song/theme too if you want)
@ami_angelwings Oooh, interestingly broader. I'll have to consider this a bit more.
My go-to is usually the Kannagi OP, which ends up being one of my favorites, but is NOT a show I feel needs watching.

(dat slap bass)
(It's also just really cute.)
Voogie's Angel also seems extraordinarily mid-sub-mid and yet

Oddly the ED the show had is different than the full version that was on the CD I have, to a larger degree than I think I've heard from any other theme.
@ami_angelwings Let us dig deeper!
Fun facts: possibly the toppest-tier famous Tomino garbage rated both a Shirou Sagisu OST, and an amazing Yoko Kanno one.

Kanno delivers magic to middling Shoji Kawamori, too!

(Kanno delivers magic. She cannot be stopped.)
I suppose it's kind of easy to pick great composers and find a tur...d...
SAGISU! YOU DID MACROSS II!
The OP is one of my absolute favorites, and the OST is also great.

OK, let me try to expand past anime.
@ami_angelwings I feel like this demands the 80-est of dreck...
Ooh!
Seriously have you folks ever listened to the full version of the Dynasty theme? Seriously amazing stuff.

The 80-est of synth-pop-rockenstein lives strong in the reptile hindbrain. Appreciation of Crockett and Tubbs does not.

Robotech doesn't count as anime, right?

In truth, very little sits deeper in the hindbrain than this one.
Hey what about a Gummi swivel?

I mean, the song doesn't deserve its own lyrics, let alone the show!
And probably the epitome of that... Thundercats!

How is this theme so badass for having its lyrics and show attack it the whole time?
@ami_angelwings Video games are a bit harder, in large part because there's more synchronicity between "enjoying the game makes you play it more so you hear the music more so you're more likely to listed to the music off to the side" where "bad game" tends to immediately break the cycle.
Maybe just an intro...? Was Ballblazer good? Certainly this is one of the pre-eminent 8-bit music of its era.

It's also not as easy to find and pursue a composer through to other works to find a stinker. But let us try...
This seems like it qualifies. (Sword of Etheria, by the composer of Castlevania: SotN)

Or... ooh! The Order: 1886!

@cthellis I've noticed a lot of games front load their games with their best and catchiest track as early as possible, especially games that aren't very good, so often you hear their best work right off the bat before you realize how bad the game is
