PR2's got a pretty good soundtrack (and decently sized, for a flash game at least). But which song is best? Heck, which song is worst? Answer for me.
Since the Poll option only allows an upward of 10 choices (and the PR2 soundtrack has more than that), please vote here on this Strawpoll on which Platform Racing 2 song you believe is best:
https://www.strawpoll.me/17213076
And of course, debate intensively and argue your point in this thread.
I'll contribute myself, even as hard as it is to pick just one song, so I'll iron out my other favorites first. Miniature Fantasy is the de facto second main theme of the game due to how it's always played on Newbieland 2. My Vision is a beautiful, climatic song that's fit for any challenging race. Instrumental #4 is a wonderful uplifting, yet simultaneously melancholic tune. Crying Soul is an absolute banger, same goes for Broked It. Before Mydnite has a wicked intro. We Are Loud is such a jammin' song when you've got that rock headwear. Prismatic deserves a mention due to it being the only JV-user made song and is such a magical tune. But none take the cake for me more than Paradise on E. It's a pounding, awesome song that keeps you going as you race against other players. And that beat drop, goodness. Nothing encompasses PR2 more than that song for me (besides that Lobby Theme, of course).
For easy discussion, here is a link to the entire PR2 soundtrack:

My List:
1. Crying Soul
2. Paradise on E
3. My Vision
4. Pr2 Lobby Theme (Because Nostalgia)
5. Flowerz 'n' Herbs
6. Instrumental #4
7. Switchblade
8. Prismatic
9. Before Midnight
10. Under Fire
11. Miniature Fantasy
12. Pyrokinesis
13. We are Loud
14. Broked it
15. Hello?
16. The Wires
This is a hard list to make!
Edit: I feel like I should explain my choices.
- Crying Soul is definitely top for me. It is the most memorable, simplest melody and it is one of the few songs that my friends (who haven't played the game in 5 years) remembered when I hummed it.
- Paradise on E is second due to the uplifting beat.
- My Vision has a better chord progression (It's similar to the Avengers theme chord: E -> C -> D), which gets more intense as it goes on.
- Pr2 lobby theme because of obvious Nostalgia.
- Flowerz 'n' Herbz is a personal favourite that I know not many people may like. In fact, it was my least favourite song when I was a little kid, but somehow it grew on me with its minimalistic approach.
- Instrument #4 because it sounds similar to Undertale's main theme.
-And the rest of the list kinda tied, I just made up the order randomly for 8-14.
But Hello? and The Wires are the absolute worse in this list. It's too short, not exciting, and just plain boring.

My top 5:
1. Crying Soul
2. My Vision
3. Before Mydnite
4. We Are Loud
5. Paradise on E / Under Fire (tie)
(Excluding the PR2 lobby/main theme, btw. If it was included, then I'd say it would be 3rd or 4th)

instrumental #4 and miniature fantasy bring back a lot of nostalgia and are always nice to hear, as is paradise on e. i've always liked crying soul and before mydnite as well as my vision, so there y'are.

Crying Soul should be first but most of those I agree in those orders!

If Desert Rose by Metalcan, which was also in one of jiggys other games, was added to PR2 instead of being excluded, it would've taken my number 1 spot without a doubt.
I've known that song way before I started playing PR2 and was one of the major songs that got me heavily interested in learning the guitar

I change my mind. My Vision takes the #1 spot for me, then Crying soul
