History AwesomeMusic / TheProtomen

* [[https://twrp.bandcamp.com/track/phantom-racer-feat-the-protomen "Phantom Racer"]], a collaboration with Music/TupperWareRemixParty and Creator/{{Egoraptor}}, is a [[JustForPun driving]] jam about a guy who shows up out of nowhere in a race, literally ''[[AxCrazy destroys]]'' the other racers, totals ''his own'' car at top speed, and [[UnflinchingWalk walks away]] [[MadeOfIron from the wreckage.]]

* The ''Music/{{Queen}}'' cover CD. All of it, with special mention going to "Death on Two Legs", "Flash", and "Bohemian Rhapsody". The ''class'' they show in their cover of "Killer Queen" is breathtaking.

* The cover of "No Easy Way Out" from ''Rocky IV'' sounds almost like an entirely different song.

** The ''class'' they show in their cover of Killer Queen is breathtaking.

* ''The Cover Up'' version of "Mr. Roboto" is arguably better than the original by Music/{{Styx}} - largely via the [[LargeHam ham factor]] being turned up about five notches and recasting the irritatingly chirpy background chorus of the original with a more apt-to-the-setting mechanical voice.

** Their cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AniH_l_ViTE "The Trooper]]" gives a metallic edge to the AwesomeMusic/IronMaiden classic and makes for great fight music.

* The cover of "Mr. Roboto" is arguably better than the original by {{Styx}}.

* "Vengeance", with Megaman tearing through the robot army like it's nothing while screaming at them to fight better.

* "The Stand" marks Protoman's dramatic reappearance with epic piano and drums, with the drumline at the end repeating just enough to get you pumped up while not so many times as to become wearisome. Special moment goes to when, in-story, Protoman descends the stairs of the caste and destroys his own robots with every crash of cymbals.
** Not to mention some of the most powerful lyrics ever. It makes a statement about society itself and how we'd rather wait for a hero than be one.

* The cover of "No Easy Way out" from ''Rocky IV'' sounds almost like an entirely different song.

* The covers of "Silent Running" by Mike and the Mechanics, which often blend seamlessly into
Breaking Out". The Protomen take the original song's synth and drums and pare it down to just piano, violins, and Panther's voice.

* "The Good Doctor" is a duet between Dr. light and Dr. Wily that decides the fate of the entire City. Bonus points for it being the first time we hear Wily speak in canon; in Act I he had no lines.

* "Keep Quiet". Joe goes toe to toe with an armed assassination robot in hand to hand combat and comes out on top, only to have Light deliver the finishing blow.
* "Light up The Night". Joe and Light plan their assault on Wily's tower to an awesome 80's-inspired tune.

* The Music/{{Queen}} CD. All of it, with special mention going to "Death on Two Legs", "Flash", and "Bohemian Rhapsody".
* "Beard's Going Nowhere". It quickly goes from an IWantSong[=/=]SillyLoveSong to Dr. Light using his beard to fly into space with his lover.

%%Just the title on its own is a ZeroContextExample. Why is it awesome?
%%* "Hope Rides Alone"

* The [[http://billosopher.tumblr.com/post/59846728478/mp3-of-the-new-new-act-iii-song-from-the-pax Built to Last]] preview at PAX 2013. It was later revealed to be part of two official Mega Man tribute albums.

* "Hope Rides Alone"
* "The Will of One." Megaman defies Dr. Light and goes to learn the truth about his brother and the City, and sets off to fight Wily. As he visits Protoman's gravesite, he reads a message carved there: "Hope Rides Alone." With renewed energy, determined to finish what his brother started, he heads to the fortress. A crowd follows. As Wily's loudspeakers begin to chant the mantra, determined to quiet them, they throw the words right back as a battle cry.
* "Vengeance," with Megaman tearing through the robot army like it's nothing while screaming at them to fight better.

* Dr. Wily's VillainSong, "The Hounds." There is no better way to take over the City than with swing and jazz.
* "Keep Quiet." Joe goes toe to toe with an armed assassination robot in hand to hand combat and comes out on top, only to have Light deliver the finishing blow.
* "Light up The Night." Joe and Light plan their assault on Wily's tower to an awesome 80's-inspired tune.
