Spyro the Dragon is a 3D platformer developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation. It was originally created because Sony wanted more kid friendly games to compete with Nintendo. The game follows the adventures of scrappy young dragon Spyro as he roams around the Dragon Realms in order to free the other dragons of the land that have been frozen inside crystalline statues by banished antagonist Gnasty Gnorc. Enemy interaction with the playable character was implemented, bringing a unique charm to gameplay. A.I. would react to Spyro's presence with taunts and charges rather than following a static movement line. It was definitely one of the best platform games for PlayStation at the time, and of course it had some really amazing music as well.
The music of Spyro the Dragon was composed and performed by Stewart Copeland, former drummer of The Police. Many of the pieces or musical motifs from the game have been used in other Copeland pieces, such as the theme to The Amanda Show (hopefully some of you out there are old enough to remember Amanda Bynes' early years... you know... before the crazy). Each track has a fresh and catchy theme. The title screen theme, along with many others, features a driving bass line, twangy guitar, catchy drum beat, and vamping synth. Every home world has its own essence, and the musical themes fit every location.
Here is the opening title theme.
