I already have all of these songs on a CD in my car. I listen to them all of the time, just amazing stuff. Whoever decided to go for licensed tracks in 2000 (even though I love the Mothership Connection) is a damned fool.

Yeah, I wore down the bones in my thumbs playing Live 96 and I'm not sure I recognize that first one. My strongest memories are of the nu-metal shredding that played over the title screen, and of this one ridiculously funky 5 second loop that would sometimes play bewteen quarters. I would always be happy when I got that one, and disappointed when the other one came up.

Ah... So it's been that long since I first heard those songs. I must have begun playing Live with its 97 offer since the Live 96 Song #4 is not familiar. (Does Live 96 have Shaq on the cover?) But that Live 97 Song #1 just made me smile due to its familiarity. Of all the BGMs, I must have listened to those from Live 99 the most number of times. My bro and I customized our teams. Those were the days. We still love playing against each other when time permits, be it a 5-min basketball drag race or a 20-min/quarter version of the Indy 500!

Ah that brought back great memories - hours playing as season after season of every NBA Live year. I always tried to get 5 All Stars, never miss a free throw and win it!!
