So those are my favorite songs from baseball video game soundtracks. Post your lists below as well. Tomorrow I'll be doing the football version.

Here's just a quick sampling of some songs I like from sports video games

-"Stuck Between Stations" - The Hold Steady (MLB 2K8)
-"Wildfire (If It Was True)" - Mando Diao (NHL 08)
-"Misery Business" - Paramore (NHL 08)
-"Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" - Fall Out Boy (NHL 06)
-"Do What You Want" - OK Go (NHL 06)
-"Hey Driver" - Lucky Boys Confusion (MVP Baseball 04)
-"Love Is On Our Side" - Frank Popp Ensemble (FIFA World Cup 06)
-"La Prima Volta" - F4 (FIFA World Cup 06)

"These Lights" MVP Baseball 06
"Crystals" - Fifa 16
"Colours" 2k12 MLB
"Shine a Light" - Fifa 16
"Magic Carpet Ride" - Nascar Thunder 2003
"Stockholm" - Fifa 16
"Omen" - Fifa 16
"Die Romantic" - MVP 06 NCAA Baseball
"Get outaa my dreams" - Nascar Thunder 2003

And of course "Dr. Goodjob theme" - MLB Power Pros 2008

*(censored)* no

"A Whisper and a Clamor" -Anberlin (NHL 08)
And some of the other songs listed here already.

Oh man, I hated "Pressure Point." I'd replace it with "You Owe Me an IOU" and replace "Let it Dive" with "The IROC-Z Song." Also, "Finding Out True Love is Blind" is awesome.

"I've Got Friends" on MLB 11 introduced me to what is now one of my favorite bands.

MLB 06 had:
"10 AM Automatic" by The Black Keys
"Everything is Alright" by Motion City Soundtrack
"Gotta Reason" by Hard-FI
all of which I still listen to regularly, plus "Of A Revolution" by O.A.R.

I was going to put those two on there, but I decided there'd be too many from that game. MVP Baseball 05 had the best soundtrack out of any sports game IMO.

College Hoops 2K8 was one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. Some of my favorites include...

"Spit It Clearly" - Dilated Peoples
"Mash's Revenge" (aka MASH) - J Dilla ft. MF DOOM and Guilty Simpson
"Without a Doubt" - Jurassic 5
and both of the Strange Fruit Project songs, "Underclassmen" and "Through The Lane"

Tons of great underground hip-hop in that soundtrack
