Megas, you guys should put a song from the new album on OC Remix to help advertise to prospective customers.
I'm going to make a poll to see what everyone else thinks should be the #1 song. My personal opinion is Gamma Unchained.

I would go with Top, personally. MM3 Intro has way too many remixes already, Spark is kind of half new/half old, Snake and Magnet are awesome but are pretty... weird? It just seems like the general public wouldn't be into those two at a glance. Gamma, HR1, and Continue all need some kind of context. The other choice I'd say is Watch You Die but why put the final battle up as the teaser?
They may have already submitted something so who knows, but yeah, if not and if they're up for suggestion's I'd go with Can't Stop the Top.

Yup, Top Man. Gotta real 'em in with the more radio-friendly singles, and some of the non-Master tracks are a bit more esoteric than I would expect the average OCR fan to be really open to.

I think Top man is the next pick on my list. I just think Gamma Unchained is perfectly done. It has perfect vocals and instrumentals.

Gamma is my favorite track, but it's a bit harder (for me at least) to pick out the source tune, which is already a less familiar track

Of all the new (Spark Man isn't really) songs on this album I think Can't Stop the Top is the most similar to the songs on Get Equipped and the most likely to draw people in.

Magnetman. It has a single feel to me, and is memorable, gets stuck in your head so quick, and does what the Megas do best. It takes a concept (Magnetman's magnetism) and turns it into something awesome. Though I agree with all points made about Top as well.

It's not as simple as just giving them one. It has to pass the judges panel. I know this as an OCR Peep.
I honestly feel like Continue would be thrown off, because it's quite lenient in it's use of source. I feel like Snake's Outro would arise weird responses. I feel like the major tonality change in Top Man would throw some people off. I feel like Magnet man wouldn't sit right. And Spark man already had a single.
I feel like Watch you Die could be the best idea.
Everything sits right, and so many people don't like Vocal ReMixes... so that's the perfect track to demonstrate that. Hell, I love them all, but it's an advertising scheme for The Megas and it works.

Can't Stop the Top or Gamma Unchained. I originally picked One Last Time as the obvious choice, but it probably wouldn't stand out as much as the other two.

People don't like vocal remixes? Shit, I almost always find those to be the most interesting and memorable.

Can't stop the top, definitely. Clear source, catchy as fuck, and the perfect mix of serious/goofieness. You can't stop it!
One Last Time is also really well done, and I think it stands out above and beyond the other MM3 Intro remixes. It's got lyrics and synth keyboard.
Either of those would be good picks.

I think either Magnet man or Top Man are the two that would be most open to new listeners. I voted for Magnet man because thats the one I could see a band releasing as a single on itunes.
