Mr. Hubbard is a true Musical Master, a true inspiration to millions of people. I adore listening to 6 hour playlists of C64 and SID chip music, always have always will. Get this man knighted :)

Thrust is still my all time favorite tune. Hubbard was a SID master.

What a legend, too bad the generations after C64 are missing out on so much. Monty's my favorite btw, amazing!

Best musician on the C64. Brings back memories. Reason I wrote so many games for the C64. You are a legend Mr Hubbard.

Commando for C64 was back then well known for excelent soundtrack. Impressive and addictive even today. Ultimate respect!

Rob Hubbard for the win! I grew up with this man's music in the 80s on our C64 and played many games, often just for Rob Hubbards music! Those were the greatest times for games, 8bit and 16bit, golden age of gaming! Fantastic! I also remixed Last V8 from Rob Hubbard :) Cheers, Fabian aka Rapture

My old time favorite when I bought Commando for my C64 way back in the 80's! And to think this was made with only 3 channels, unbelievable! Still today it's a great soundtrack.

Rob hubbard is absolutely fucking legendary. What he accomplished on the c64 early in its life cycle, when no one was making music as complicated as he was, is insane to me. His later stuff is also wizardry to a young programmer like myself. Assembly programmers back then will always have my highest respect, and the c64 will always be my favourite home computer. Very few people these days could do what people like you did :D
