Top 50 Game Ending Songs

I poked around on FlymingOmelette.com for a while but can't really determine the purpose of the site. It seems to be one of those old-fashioned "homepages", complete with circa-1996 neon-on-black colorscheme, flaming GIF text, and a vague feeling of claustrophobia.

This page seems to be for the Omelette fellow (I assume this person is male, but I have my doubts) to post his terrifying furry cartoons, the style of which seems to have remained exactly the same since he was ten years old. I am deeply mystified by this, as well as strangely compelled by his flowing, golden-brown mullet.

No matter. The reason I bring him up at all is that he's posted a big fat steaming pile of downloadable game music in the form of "Flying Omelette's Top 50 Favorite Game Ending Songs". Here's what he has to say about his #1 choice, the end theme from Final Fantasy 6 (after the jump).

It was a really difficult decision, but in the end, I just had to give the edge to Nobuo Uematsu's bombastic ending theme for Final Fantasy 6. I really love how it incorporates a lot of the game's songs, including every main character's theme in the first part, and Terra and Setzer's themes in the second part. I'll also remember thinking how awesome it was at the very moment I first heard the Final Fantasy Prologue kick in. The ending is the only place in Final Fantasy 6 where that song is heard. An epic masterpiece, this song really goes out with a bang.

The vast majority of his choices were 2D RPGs, so the selection is extremely limited. But it's all very well-organized, with mp3 and MIDI downloads of each theme.

...the longer I look at this site the more uncomfortable it seems. You let me know if this person shows up on any Have You Seen Me flyers in your mailbox, yeah? Spooky.
