You CANNOT beat the Tri theme. It's the best song in the series.

Best monster theme is a draw between Jinouga and Bracchidios (leaning more towards Bracchi)

Least favourite monster theme is Deviljho

Best area theme is Mountain Stream (Seriously, I LOVE this one)

Least favourite area theme is Tundra

Best area intro theme is Sandy Plains

Overall Third gen has far and away the best music of the main games. It's one of the things they overhauled the most. Here's hoping MH4's soundtrack can hold a canlde to this stuff.
