2011's long gone, 2012's about four months away from the thick of things.

Notable artists for BoF include:

xi
sakuzyo
etia
wa.
siromaru
void
celas

The music stretches from hardcore techno to Drum'n'Bass to ambient music, often within the same artist, so there's much to discuss. Also, many people don't seem to understand what BMS of Fighters is, so here it is in a nutshell:

It's a fan-driven competition using the Bemani Simulator. Contestants create their own music and maps and submit them for peer review, with the highest score in multiple venues (music quality, map quality, popularity) each getting a place. Imagine if mappers in osu! created their own music and submitted only one or two maps per year, and we voted on them as a competition.

generally speaking, youtube is your best bet; if you search any notable BMS track by the above artists, "related videos" will send you for a nice rotation. The bms of fighters site itself only provides the BMS scripts; while it's playable and recordable in-game, it's not a standard mp3.

Just wanted to say I'm seriously pumped to hear more xi and sakuzyo tracks. Maybe a bit of ETIA's as well. However, I hope to hear more BMS tracks from An. ;~;

Though it took all of your rage and frustration just looking through everything to find it. I bet it was worth it, though.

Nicosound is also one of the best sites for the BMS Fighters

sasakure.UK's also there.

EDIT:
you can search BOFs and others on nicosound easily,
it's just that this site is using japanese language =-=

I think osu! should have it's own collab, but I don't think we have enough artists to actually make it happen.
It's amazing the amount of effort people put into the BoF competition. I love a lot of the charts, songs, and videos. I do get irritated they're packed with the teams in separate folders, though, so I have to click the team folder to play the songs. I'd prefer them all just to be in the root of the BoF20XX folder. :-/

It ends.

I agree with Pokebis. The authors did an awesome job not only with the songs and charts, but with the high-quality art/videos that comes along with them. Did I mention how awesome they are?

Some of the charts are ridiculously hard though D:
