I really like Dust Man but I'm not a huge fan of Air Man, his theme sounds too much like the stereotypical "villian" theme for me to really be a super duper fan of it

To each their own but I personally don't hear anything villainous in the song.
#35 Heat Man Game: Mega Man 2
Pretty sure I've upset a lot of people who love Mega Man 2's sound track by having Quck Man at the bottom of Mega Man 2 and Heat Man above Air Man. Oh well, its my opinion. Heat Man, while having a tune that doesn't last a minute gets its point across very nicely within that time. Its fast paced and just made of win. Its the perfect tune to have when you're crossing those Yoku Blocks the legit way aka without Item 2.
#34 Shade Man Game: Mega Man 7
A lot of people hold Shade Man's theme in low opinion and I honestly don't know why. It fits his stage and it fits him. Its perfect for the atmosphere its given. Its slow, its got a creepy vibe to it and it overall just fits. Aside from that its a very nice tune and I am happy to say it is among my top 3 from Mega Man 7.
As a small bonus I also tacked on his alternate theme. Which I believe you can have playing by selecting his stage and holding A? B? Someone correct me! Anyway, his alternate theme is a Super GNG rendition and it suits since Shade Man's stage and enemies itself is a reference to that.
Please note that his alternate theme does not hold any bearing in his placement.

Weird that people hold Shade Man's theme in low regard, I really like it.

#33 Nitro Man Game: Mega Man 10
The top of the bottom as it goes for Mega Man 10. Does that mean its bad? Hell no. I quite enjoy this theme, just not so much as the rest of Mega Man 10 that is still to come. Its definitely suiting of his city-esque stage and of him as well, to a degree. I personally think it should be a tad more fast paced, since well, motorcycles are portrayed as fast most of the time, but that's just me. All in all a nice little beat to this one. It also has some nice little breaks with that synthesizer like sound.
#32 Turbo Man Game: Mega Man 7
Shift into Tur--oh, wait, wrong thing! Anyway, Turbo Man, has quite the nice music - this is what I meant about Nitro Man's, its a bit more fast paced, as it should be, and therefore just a tad bit better. Overall its a nice theme overall, though, the start is a little, eh. That 'dun-dun!' just doesn't do it for me that much and deducts a couple of points but it doesn't matter, he's still among my favorites and my number two from Mega Man 7.

#31 Tornado Man Game: Mega Man 9
Not a bad theme at all here. Its quite enjoyable and definitely has that air-y feel that it needs to give it the recognition it deserves. There's something about it that just doesn't click with me to give it a higher score. Its definitely good though, I will not deny it that. I think what gets to me with it is the sharp pitches of the instrument. But overall I enjoy this track.
#30 Blizzard Man Game: Mega Man 6
Mega Man 6 produced some pretty good tunes. I honestly didn't notice that much until I started compiling this list and I was surprised to see that the majority of them are in my 'better half' of the list. But yeah, here we are with Blizzard Man, another ice themed robot master and his theme is just quite awesome. Very snow-like and ice themed and quite suiting of his stage as well. Ah, Blizzard Man, you may be silly looking but at least you have an awesome tune.

Silly design or not he's got quite the theme. Hehe.
#29 Sheep Man Game: Mega Man 10
From my experience between friends and such, they all hold Sheep Man as the worst theme in Mega Man 10 and I personally think that they are severely mistaken. I may not hold it in the highest regards myself but it is one of the better ones - definitely better than the four that has appeared before it. Its very suiting of his stage and of him as a lightning boss. The entire tune is just great to me. The synthesizer really gets put used to here and I quite enjoy it.
#28 Wind Man Game: Mega Man 6
Ah, Wind Man! Winner of the best air/wind themed song. Give him a hand ladies and gentleman! And, with that out of the way. Here are my thoughts on it. It is very calming and soothing. Very slow paced and I love the very slow start to it, which is rare with me and slow starts. It has some nice beating going on to make a very enjoyable theme to play through his stage with. Its very fitting of air and wind.
#27 Galaxy Man Game: Mega Man 9
Much like Astro Man, Galaxy Man's theme is quite different from the usual style of themes - it dares to be different and it pays off quite well here, unlike Astro Man in my opinion. It definitely has a space/UFO feel too it and that's what the stage needs. Overall though this tune is quite enjoyable. A nice start and a decent climax with a lovely middle makes it a pretty solid track.
#26 Pharaoh Man Game: Mega Man 4
Pharaoh Man! You may be a pain of a boss for some people but at least your theme is nice and catchy. Heh. Its another one of those with a slow start, but I like its slow start. Its not bad by any means - the tune overall is pretty nice too. An overall nice and a nice little breakdown throughout showing that you don't need real instruments to make good music. And while I'm on that subject, I hate most of the remixes of all these old tunes. They don't have the heart and soul that the old ones have. But that's a rant for another day - Overall though, this tune is nice all around.

#25 Slash Man Game: Mega Man 7
So, some lists do a Top 10 or a Top 20, however some even do a Top 25 so with that in mind, here goes my Top 25. We're starting off with Mega Man 7's Slash Man. Even though I have it placed here, at kind of a low spot in terms of the top spots, I still enjoy this tune. It really stands out among Mega Man 7's track, in my opinion. I may dislike fighting the boss itself but his theme is definitely one of kick ass proportions and at my number one spot of Mega Man 7 Robot Master themes.
#24 Wood Man Game: Mega Man 2
This is just going off my friends around where I live: Why do they hate Wood Man's theme? I personally love it. Sure it isn't my number one from Mega Man 2 but I still love it. The beginning reminds me of Wood Man doing his little belly drum, as silly as that sounds. Overall its just a very nice theme. I love the drumming going on during the entire tune. This is definitely one of the tunes I can listen to over and over again.

Been a while since I updated this. Sorry people, got a little busy. Today has been no exception, especially with the addition of Blazblue: Continuum Shift to my collection. Anyway, here they all are so far.
#23 Chill Man Game: Mega Man 10
Here we are at 23 and the winner of best ice theme! Chill Man! Give hi--oh screw it. Anyway, yeah. So, ice themes aren't my favorite, I suppose due to how slow they go, but thats not saying they are bad because they all are pretty good and this one is the crowning example of good. I love Chill Man's theme from Mega Man 10. Its slow paced and has a nice beat to it and I just get drawn into it. This theme is mean by the way, it lulls you into getting relaxed and then it throws hazards at you in the stage. The theme is a lie.
#22 Magma Man Game: Mega Man 9
What is it with fire themed songs and being bad ass sounding? Is it because they are fire? Is that the sole reason? I mean fire is a pretty bad ass element but I'm sure that has to be a factor. Anyway, Magma Man definitely has quite the tune going for him. Some effort went into this one and it truly shows. I'm not saying effort didn't go into previous tracks but here it really shines, in my opinion and we're only at the number 22 spot.
#21 Knight Man Game: Mega Man 6
I've seen a few people say this and Blizzard Man's theme sound similar and I don't hear it personally. With that little tid bit out of the way, here we go with Knight Man. He's among my top 3 from Mega Man 6. I love the slow and melodic pace this theme brings to the table. Perfect for a Robot Master that is based on a Knight I believe. It feels like it has the resolve of a knight in the song and it just works.
#20 Spark Man Game: Mega Man 3
Over rated. That's what this theme is, but I still love it. I mean, its in my top 3 after all. I still say its over rated, though. Now my honest opinions on it other than that. The start of the theme is horrible, in my opinion and it lasts for thirteen seconds. That's a pretty long time for a bad opening and yes it does get a lot of points deducted due to this. Also factor in the theme is only 1:09 in length and that's about 10% of it taken up on the bad opening alone. Now, the theme does redeem itself after that thirteen second mark by having a pretty fast paced and upbeat theme. The fast paced definitely suits with the electrical theme, however, I can't say the upbeat nature of it does. Overall, despite the beginning, I do enjoy this song, I just believe it is vastly over rated. The same goes for Top Man's theme.
#19 Sword Man Game: Mega Man 8
Well, here we are at the crowning jewel of the Robot Masters themes from Mega Man 8, or at least in my opinion. Its slow - I will say that. Its slow and melodic, much like Knight Man's, but this one brings a bit of a determined and creepy factor to the table too. Its not one of those themes that gets me pumped for the stage or the eventual fight to come, but more that gets me focused.
#18 Blade Man Game: Mega Man 10
I like the slightly upbeat resolve this theme starts out with and how it quickly turns into something a little different. Something more slow paced and evil sounding. The upbeat nature returns but I just like the breakdowns into 'evil' that it does. It seems the theme has a theme of good vs evil throughout it. Or maybe I'm reading a bit too far into it? Eh, the overall beat and mood of this theme just works for Blade Man and his stage, in my opinion.
#17 Crash Man Game: Mega Man 2
The beginning to this tune is quite slow, but its also quite catchy. I don't know how to explain it, it just is. Overall this theme is just made of win. It has a good start and it just gets better from there. The beeps and bloops this theme brings to the table is just damn catchy. Granted, it makes me think nothing of bombs, as it is quite upbeat, but that doesn't matter. Its a very nice tune.
#16 Elec Man Game: Mega Man 1
If it wasn't for Elec Man, Mega Man 1 would have been eliminated long ago, but Elec Man kept them in! At least until now. Yes, this is my favorite theme from the original Mega Man Robot Masters. That bum-bum-bum start, I just love it. And the theme overall is made of win. I know I'm repeating myself a lot in these descriptions but I can't help it. There is only so many ways I can say a theme is good. I just like the overall beat and method of execution for this theme.
#15 Jewel Man Game: Mega Man 9
I don't know what it is about this theme that makes me like it so much. Its slow, but I also feel like I could dance to it at the same time, as strange as that sounds. From start to finish its just an enjoyable theme. Nice opening, nice follow through, and a good climax. I really have nothing else to say other than I will delete any comments that call Jewel Man gay. I don't take kindly to that insult.
#14 Dive Man Game: Mega Man 4
Dive Man! Watch the chest compartment, it'll let you no hit him! Er, with that out of the way... His theme is awesome. Its not the best water theme to me but its definitely one of the top four. The beginning is awesome, actually not sounding like a water theme but it quickly changes gears into one and it just sounds awesome. The overall tune is enjoyable and its got quite a nice bit of beating going on in it. The climax is good as well to make a pretty solid track.[/youtube]

#13 Tomahawk Man Game: Mega Man 6
Despite it not being in the Top 10, I really, really love this tune. It has a mystical air about it in the tune, much like it should, as Native American's are one with the spirits and all (hey, just my experience from my friend's parents. She is Native American). Other than that, the beating going on behind the tune is just lovely. It honestly reminds me of the beating that a horse makes as it runs.
#12 Wave Man Game: Mega Man 5
Not sure what to say about this theme. I've been repeating myself a lot, but I can't help it. All these tracks so far that have made it this high, I love them. I love the slow and peaceful pace this tune has, much like Chill Man, the theme is a lie. Okay, I take that back. Wave Man's stage isn't nearly as bad as his. The flute-like sound playing through this track is simply amazing. It was quite amazing what they could do with 8-bit sounds. Anyone who says 8-Bit music is horrible? Well, they are stupid, I know that's mean, but its also true! ...I had to get a reference in. Anyway, yeah, love this tune.
#11 Bubble Man Game: Mega Man 2
This might be a surprise to some, seeing Bubble Man make it so far. I never really see people mention this tune. Its always Crash Man or Metal Man that gets top mentions. I just never really hear anything about poor Bubble Man. Its a shame because I love this theme. The start is great and it just flows directly into a nice tune. Really all I can say about this one. Its just great.
#10 Time Man Game: Mega man Powered Up
Unlike Oil Man, Time Man has quite the memorable tune and that's why its here kicking off the Top 10 list. That and the fact its a great tune, anyway. I fell in love with this theme the first time I heard it and knew it was quickly going to become a favorite of mine. I love the tick-tick sound it has throughout the song and its one of the slower paced songs around but it works for him, especially considering his power is to slow time down. Overall, though, this is a very lovely tune. Great beginning, nice breakdowns, and a good climax.

Just a small note. From here on out it'll be just one a day, until the last 3, where I will post them all at once.
#09 Toad Man Game: Mega Man 4
Ah Toad Man, you made it quite far, probably farther than anyone would have imagined. I honestly don't know what it is about this theme that I like so much. Mega Man 4 produced a lot of great tunes. I think its the slipperly like sound this theme has going in the back ground that I really love about it. The entire theme is great, though, in my opinion. Definitely makes up for his annoying stage.

#08 Snake Man Game: Mega Man 3
This tune is quite good. A lot of people hold it in high regard when talking about Mega Man 3's soundtrack and I am no exception. I don't hold it in the highest regard, but a high regard all the same. I love the start of it, I don't know what it is but the start of it just has this "Danger!" vibe to it. Or I'm just crazy. Overall from start to finish this tune is just great.

#07 Metal Man Game: Mega Man 2
Definitely in my opinion the pinnacle of Mega Man 2's Robot Master themes. Its just great. This one and Bubble Man's have always been my two favorites from Mega Man 2 and its hard to choose between them in all honesty. I think I lean more towards Metal Man's due to bias. Metal Man is my favorite Robot Master from Mega Man 2, so, that gives his theme a couple of points. It has a great beat to it and that's really all I have to say.

#06 Concrete Man Game: Mega Man 9
A theme so good even Benzaie made a song to go with it. Heh. That aside. I don't know what it is about this theme that makes me hold it so high. Its just overall great. It is my second favorite from Mega Man 9 and I just love this tune. The composer for it put a lot of time and effort into this one and it just shows immensely. From start to finish it just gushes with awesomesauce.

#05 Shadow Man Game: Mega Man 3
I do wonder to myself if anyone is surprised that not one, but two Mega Man 3 themes made it into the Top 10? Everyone seems to put down Mega Man 3 as not being memorable among the music but I disagree, especially with the two that have made it into the Top 10. Shadow Man's theme is just made of win. In all honesty I could see this being in a Ninja Gaiden game and considering Shadow Man is a ninja robot then its a perfect fit. The drumming in the background during the chimes and the rest of the beat just flows nicely. The best Robot Master theme to come out of Mega Man 3, in my opinion.

#04 Solar Man Game: Mega Man 10
The composer who did this track, and many of the others, sure knows how to make good tunes. Whenever I hear Solar Man's theme, the opening for some reason reminds me of some ancient power being unearthed. I don't know why, it just does. When playing Mega Man 10 for the first time when I finally chose Solar Man, the music instantly clicked with me. Its just awesome. Nice opening, nice song throughout, and an awesome climax.

#03 Yamato Man Game: Mega Man 6
I love this tune. It has a traditional Japanese feel to it, in my opinion, and it should because it is friggin Yamato Man's theme! Fangirl fit of this Robot Master aside (I like samurai's. Leave me alone), this theme just fits in every way possible and its a very enjoyable tune. Its not over the top and its not under played. Its just right and that's what makes it so great to me.
#02 Splash Woman Game: Mega Man 9
Its because I'm a girl that Splash Woman has made it so far. Totally. Sarcasm aside, this theme to me, is the best of the water themes. Its so peaceful and calming like a lot of water themes but this one is just a step above them. Like Tornado Man's, it has a whistling to it, but unlike Tornado Man's, the whistling here isn't annoying. The main tune of it is great, as is the gentle beating going on in the background of it.
#01 Skull Man Game: Mega Man 4
Maybe not a surprise to anyone who talks to me on a regular basis. But then again it might be, as I don't think I've ever stated what my favorite theme of all of them was. Well, if I haven't before, I certainly have now. I don't know how they made this theme so awesome but they did. They overall theme of it is great, yes, but I do so enjoy that raw sounding drum beating going on in the behind the beat, and the drumming even gets its on time in the foreground.
Well, here we have reached the end of my first countdown. I may do more in the future. I do have others planned out, but whether I do them or not is still up in the air.

That was a really great countdown Isa, I enjoyed it, the top 3 were really sweet themes I liked them alot. Out of all the themes though I'd have a hard time rating them like you did, let alone picking my favourite.
Awesome countdown ;D
