KaiserST and Better Cock Spock recently lstarted a good challenge - to make your top 10 tracks in BaDIK. And it's very difficult. Game is so rich in quality music that I would have to make a top 30 - so many bangers. That would be too long a post, and no one likes reading walls of text. And it's very difficult to choose a top track for the first place - at least a dozen tracks deserve this position.
So I decided to make a more compromise list, choosing the top 10 tracks from episode 11. It's easier because the emotions are still fresh and it feels more right to me because new good music is perceived much more pleasantly than the same good music you've already gotten used to.
Episode 11: Top-10 track list (only 5 media is allowed per post, so part of the tracks will be at links)

"Thank you for your time sis. The moon was great recently" Saddest, but this is good kind of pain.

I see Beza tracks - thumbs up. Song from Jill/MC's date when they arrived at the campsite. Winter, calm and peace. And spending time with your girlfriend and her friends.
8.

A song from Lynette's memoir, my favorite of all the themes in her diary so far, with a slight jazzy edge.

New rock banger for the gym! I'm glad that DPC doesn't forget the main rock theme, typical for college stories of the 90-00s, and I, as an old millennial rocker, can't pass by.

The ending theme is very epic and for me it now evokes Quinn eating an apple and watching as Buddy and company are busted by the cops. Maybe "Your day is coming" is a signal that Quinn will finally succeed, or maybe it's a hidden threat to the frats, implying Magnar's psy-op and that it's payback time for them. DPC loves to signal, including through the use of music.
The rest of the tracks are top tier for me, adding them directly here.
5. Grace Mesa - On Our Way
Man, I love Grace Mesa! It's a shame this indie band is so little known, only thanks to AVNs. Every song of theirs is high on my masterlist. These are Bella's amazing scenes from Ep. 6 and 8, these are about a dozen tracks in Summer's Gone - including this one - migrated from that game, and is dedicated to different Bella.
4. Beza - I'll Catch the Light " I don't really know exactly what the future holds Looking ahead I see a story yet untold
We're walking into the dark
With a little light, shining in our hearts Gonna let it lead the way" A perfect track for a declaration of love to Maya, her fear of the unknown future and MC inspiring her, who caught her like a light and will be with her for better or worse - but with her. Very emotional.
3. Roy Ahern - Dark Movement
Party theme, but for me it will always be a mini-get-together with Sage. Whiskey, snacks and cards + a fiery temperamental redhead - and a party is guaranteed. "You're my rock"
2.A Hext - Don't Forgive Me Johnny Cash - Hurt of BaDIK, or we break our ex's heart. Fits Zoey scene well and even more suitable for the rejection path, making the scene even more dark and sad.
1. One Wave - Beams
An unexpected choice, but yes. This track lifted my spirits and I want to dance to it right at home. Fun and electrifying. I love club music taste from DPC, I see a man of culture from the 00s.
It wasn't easy to make this list and even here I was torn between the choices, there were so many amazing tracks, so I added a few more to the honorable mentions. Enjoy the music!
Two bad decisions: it looks like you threw Kylie and Penny out in the cold in their underwear, which may bite you in the ass later, and you missed Bella's party. Staying at DIKs while on MGs routes doesn't make sense, at Bella's you're additionally building relationships with your LIs. It's not so critical to miss it on J/M, but being at Bella's party with Sage is a must.
You chose Maya, good choice But didn't tell her you loved her?
You didn't protect Nick, good he doesn't deserve it fuck Nick.
Why wouldn't you go to Bella's?
Is there a part in BaDIK that the ar asks the MC whether a trans woman is an actual woman, and either answer is fine? Idr, guess Ive played too many renpy games.

I was just "Uh yeah, no. You didn't want to spend time with me at my party, but now you're crying for attention and think i'll drop everything and run to you as soon as you flash a few tits? There's more than enough of those here, enjoy sitting there in your own little new social circle, just like you wanted."
