I like to poke around the HVSC once in a while, but a lot of the time I find myself sifting through bad game soundtracks or really boring shit. I feel like I'm missing the good stuff! Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions to check out. Maybe some kind of diamond in the rough.
Here's a few I'd suggest I guess, pretty obvious picks for the most part:
Drax
goto80
Linus
PRI
Laxity
Jammer
Glenn Gallefoss
Nothing to add, but these sort of threads always turn out great. Looking forward to some good listening! 
Eddie svard
Raveguru
Me
Conrad (this music disk is amazing: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id= … tes#notes)
and if you want good old game soundtracks

Basically all of the ones listed in the first and third post and some of the ones 4mat mentioned (I also like 4mat's SIDs) I don't really have favorite SID composers but more like favorite SID tracks.
Oooh just remembered some others I forgot to mention!
Cadaver
Hein Holt
Alex Mauer (he used to have stuff under 'akuma pan' but i think they put those tracks under Alex Mauer now.)
Arman Behdad (also known as Intensity. had a few tracks on 8bc. very talented dude, RIP.)
Abbadon
Thanks for the other suggestions, everyone. Keep em comin'!
A lot of my favorite was already told by you guys but I'm really surprised these name didn't appeared yet !
Jeff (Soren Lund)
Randall
Wiklund
Zabutom
Conrad (this music disk is amazing: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id= … tes#notes)
Very unique stuff, thanks Jellica. Overall it was a bit too sugary for me, but I spend like half an hour listening the last track on loop 
Are Hubbard and Galway not listed yet because they're obvious?
My all-times are Wally Beben's Tetris and Follin's Gauntlet III.

Surely ! Same for Ben Daglish !

I'd say so. I started this because looking for some suggestions every "top 10 .sid songs" thing was dominated by Hubbard, Galway, and all the other great game composers from the C64 days. I don't think any of them mentioned anything but game soundtracks.
Drax!
"Swamp Poo" is one of my favorite C64 funk jams.
??? has some pretty good stuff but I doubt he's on HVSC with a name like that

I do remember him having some cool c64 stuff, but no I don't see anything in the HVSC. Is all his c64 stuff posted anywhere? I miss that guy he made some really sick stuff.
