OOOOOH Nesta you took on a monster! Hard to find bad songs in either of those. But hey, this is a forum so I gotta comment!
Chrono Cross: I can't completely disagree with your worst set, but MAN I disagree with Zelbess! I friggin' LOVE that song! Thing is, I bought the soundtrack for Chrono Cross before the game, so many of the songs stood out before I knew where they were from. Interesting tidbit: Back in high school I was watching some video about Greek culture and the Zelbess song was in it, so I believe that is a classic Greek song of some sort. Might be why it feels out of place.
As for the good songs: I think I might have picked the same ones, though I'd switch around the boss and battle music. I always thought the boss song was kinda boring and the battle music was a bit better. Otherwise: all masterpeices. Especially Time's Scar (which a friend friggin' ripped from an early trailer for me, so that was the first song I had from the game). Time's Scar would be on my list of Ultimate Adventure songs (and songs that sound way more exciting and important that life could ever hope to be). Also the #1 choice (Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World) was my absolute favorite when I first got the soundtrack all those years ago. Brought a tear to my eye (though violins kinda do that for me). Funny thing is that song had a skip in it that my brain still puts there, even though burning the track to my itunes has somehow fixed the skip.
Chrono Trigger: Ha! I can tell you were trying your best with the worst pics. I pretty much had a feeling about which ones you'd pick for most of them, because they are similar ones that I tend to skip when I'm listening to the ipod. Still, I find myself enjoying Primitive Mountain 'cause it's just got that BEAT. The others are on similar grounds of "not bad, but not ones I usually listen to." I mean, the music box theme I DO like, but it's still one I skip more often than others.
As for the likes: Well, what can I say? All good choices, though I'd replace "World" with Magus's battle theme. Can't get enough of that, and honestly the final battle song is probably one of my least favorites when it comes to final battle music. Certainly epic, but doesn't really put a fire in me. As for TOP favorite, the opening theme, the Undersea Palace, and Zeal are all big time favorites. Zeal especially, which always reminds me of when I first got there wondering what the hell was going on. That moment when you first get to Zeal is what makes me wish I could erase my memory of the game and play it all over again.
Anyway, thank you for your lists! Very interesting!
