Thanks to everyone who submitted for all the great selections this week. If you haven't, you should make sure to check out Bitmobber Eric Sapp's awesome hidden gem from the NES version of Silver Surfer — it's definitely one of the best 8-bit tunes I've never heard. And don't miss Bitmob funnyman Travis McReyonolds' pick from LittleBigPlanet PSP. The musical taste over at developer Media Molecule never ceases to amaze. Also, if you've never heard of Nick Cave, you have to check Jukebox archivist Evan Killham's choice from Alan Wake. Nick Cave is truly one of the all-time rock-n- roll greats.

Submission Guidelines
For all you newcomers, here's how it works — I've got two simple rules for submitting songs:
1) Songs from music games with original music and licensed songs from game soundtracks like Grand Theft Auto are OK. Submissions from games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band will not be accepted. Otherwise, this post may turn into a competition between people's favorite bands.
2) Only one submission response per person, per week.
When you've thought of a selection, put it in the comments below. And don't worry about the theme you see in the title of the post — I name each edition retroactively.
I will always try to find the official name of any song I use. If I can't, II will mark it with an asterisk (*).
Finally, if you'd like to win the Double-Plus Good Song of the Week (the weekly best of award), submit an obscure song you think the community and I have overlooked in previous posts.
P.S. I'm trying a new layout for the Jukebox this week. Any feedback you folks could leave in addition to a song suggestion would be more than welcome!
