SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 21: Pro-skater Tony Hawk on the IMDb Series “Special Skills” in Los Angeles, California. This episode of “Special Skills” airs on February 25, 2020.

NCAA Football is coming back. After a decade-long hiatus, the iconic video game series will return to shelves, though at this point most people don’t buy their video games off the shelves anymore. And in honor of its return, Andrew Salciunas is spending all week talking about some of the best things from Sports video games. On Monday, he talked about the players who missed out on being cover athletes while the game was on hiatus. And today, he is counting down the best songs from sports video game soundtracks ever.

Here are Andrew’s favorite songs from sports video game soundtracks:

Wavin’ Flag by K’Naan- NBA2k10

 

There was something to waking up at noon on a Saturday after a long night of gaming and putting on Fifa or NBA2k and hearing this song. It was the perfect soothing music before you started yelling at your TV for hours.

Goldfinger by Superman- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1

 

I could make the case that this was the best song in any sports game. It fit the game it was on, it fired you up, and when you think of the song, you think of Tony Hawk.

Tear it Up by Yung Wun FT DMX- NFL Street Volume 2

 

Need I say more? You are playing 7 on 7 football on the roof of a building, on a baseball field, in a shipping yard, and this song plays in the background? Man I’m getting flashbacks just typing this

Reminisce Over You by T.R.O.Y – NBA Street Volume 2

 

While NFL Street had the hard-hitting “Tear it Up”, NBA street was more laid back. Hearing the music before the lyrics and you already knew what song it was.

The Anthem by Good Charlotte – Madden 03

 

Good Charlotte had their time. I know it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea that is reading this article, but firing up Madden 03 after sneaking down the stairs late at night or early in the morning and the music blast and wake up your parents, iconic.

Tessie by The Dropkick Murphy’s – MVP Baseball 05

 

Unfortunately, this song has Boston Red Sox stink on it… but if it didn’t… come on man! Baseball and a song that rocks like this? Playing the newest edition of a baseball game around St Patties Day and this song plays? Legendary.
