What's the best song in any Animal Crossing game and why is it Resetti's theme?
 
So many from the GCN version just bring me memories. I think the main theme song is the one that sticks with me most.

The one I love a lot though is the New Leaf 1 am theme.
 
If we're talking about the ost, then I really like the Nighttime music when it's snowing/raining, also the main them from gamecube and the movie. K.K. slider songs I love are K.K. Bossa(Which played in the movie) and Go K.K. Rider x3

I love the snow/rain in ac though it feels great to play with that music playing x3
 
Regarding NL, Brewster's Caf? is one of my favourites. I love that building so much, it's so homely and relaxing. But 1am is definitely one of the best hourly themes imo, along with 8pm and 5pm. I kind of like the music in Kicks too.

I also really liked the upbeat version of 2am from Wild World that was used in Smash Bros. Brawl. Reminds me of sparring with my friends when I played that game somewhat seriously, good times.
 
I'm also on the Stale Cupcakes train :p I love that song, as well as Bubblegum K.K.
It's a classic really, how could you not like it?

Resetti's theme and the 12 AM music from New Leaf are my other top favourites. I also kinda like Shampoodle's music too.
 
This is my opinion:

Other themes

2: Title screen from Animal Crossing: Wild World
3: Title screen from Doubutsu no Mori e+/Animal Forest e+
4: The Island from Animal Crossing (GCN)
5: Tortimer Island (day) from Animal Crossing: New Leaf
6: Title screen from Animal Crossing (GCN)
7: Title screen from Animal Crossing: New Leaf
8: Loading theme (main theme) from Animal Crossing (GCN)
9: Saving theme from Animal Crossing (GCN)
10: Train ride from Animal Crossing (GCN)

Sorry for the long list. I think that the GameCube games have the best music in my opinion. They were so upbeat and had a jungle-esque vibe that really made you feel like you were in a forest unlike New Leaf where the music is so calm and is nothing like the original games' music (except for 5PM). The movie also had some really good renditions of music from Wild World, especially The Roost which was made longer and more instrumentalised. It's really hard to choose which songs go where because they are all great.

I like the Happy Room Academy theme from City Folk. Also, all four city themes are catchy.

On a side note, one of my favorite GCN hourly themes is 6AM.
 
Like a lot of other folks, I'm a big fan of Stale Cupcakes. Also some of K.K. Slider's acoustic versions are really pretty and haunting. I also *adore* the closing music for the emporium. It's a bit melancholy; I love it so much I'll occasionally go in just to listen to it for a bit.

I love the town music when it's snowing out; some of the morning music is too busy (I really don't like the smooth jazz feel of the 8am music especially) but when it's snowing it's much nicer. I really like the night music on the island - so chill. I can fish and beetle hunt for ages to that jam, lol.

I also like the 7pm music and the 1am music.
 
K.K. Jazz, the snowy BGM and all the night time BGM.

2. DJ K.K radio version

3. KK Rider/The Smashville song as what I used to call it.

4. Desert Island Explorer's ingame music.
