I think Too Hot wouldn't have been annoying if it weren't for the fact that it's in nearly half the levels in the game. I think it's a good atmospheric music track, but by the end of Keen 4 I've simply heard it far too much.

I agree with Gridlock, To the Future is just annoying in its own right. Although part of that may just be that I associate it primarily with the Bloogton Tower, which is also annoying.

Have you played Catacomb 3-D? Too Hot is the only music track in that game, used in all the 20 levels! :barf

It'd be easier for me to list those I do not like...

Dun..dun-dun-dun.... AUGH! First thing I did when patching that game was to put in a new, longer track.

I just found out that Mark Cooksey (the genius behind Keen GBC's music) was also responsible for the masterpiece of music in the Paperboy series!

WHAT. THE. GARG. I had this game as a kid and finished it from start to end, but I didn't have a suitable sound card to hear the music back then. I'm surprised such a short loop of Keen music is used to the point of utter torture in it...
Wow look at me I'm lurking
