Thank you for the suggestions. The Romeo and Juliet cover is actually present, listed as Sanxion (2/2). I feel a bit sorry for not including any of Wally Beben's work. Tetris almost made it, but it is so darn long. The version of Rock'n Roll you link to seems to fall out of tune.

To me, that 25-minute long Tetris tune stands apart from all other SID music. It's like a movie soundtrack :)

BTW, thanks for sharing this. Most "top sid" lists are kind of predictable.

Ah, right, thanks for reminding me that his is actually Sanxion. For a very long time I only knew it from some cracktro.

You’re right, there’s something funky going on after 1:20 of High Times which I don’t remember from the original game. The HVSC version played in Modizer sounds better to me than that YouTube version, might be an emulation issue.
