What are your favorite video game soundtracks?

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Megaman somewhere.  But really, there's a lot of good songs there, soundtracks to game specifics are hard to chose.

[EliroX904]

For me I think that Megaman 2's wily's stage is probably one of the best video game songs out there. Harvest Moon: Back to Nature has some really great tracks, they're all very light hearted and simple but work so well. And Mr. Gimmick has the best soundtrack of all NES games (though that one song from mega man 2 beats it).

I never really liked Wily stage 1 that much. I mean, it's a great track, but I didn't even remember that track until everyone on YouTube started gushing over that song. Like most of MM2's soundtrack, it sounded too much like it was made for a superhero movie more than a Megaman game, which is why I've always preferred 3's soundtrack. However, I was fond of Bubbleman's theme

I can't watch youtube videos right now, but there better be Chrono Trigger in there somewhere.

Favorite soundtracks:
Anything by Tomohito Nishiura
Arcanum
Morrowind
Metroid (as a series)
Recurring Pokemon themes
Can't think of anything else.

You think I'd forget a theme from one of my top 5 games evar?
The theme is in part 3, and it starts with a "w".

Guess what it is?

It's the wind scene theme

There's some amazingly overlooked soundtracks which are brilliant.

-Shatter
-Final Fantasy 10
-Team Fortress 2
-Terraria
-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
-Tales of Symphonia
-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

[zuhane]

The songs are just so Spy Film-inspired and well orchestrated! I'll post a couple of my favorite themes from
some of these games so you can get a taster! Shatter is a breakout game, but the soundtrack has won awards!

Probably my favorite game song ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHOr1Bh5e-k
Brilliant song from Shatter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=759LSnZJMlQ&feature=related
Paper Mario. Makes me want to cry just hearing the tune again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibmn_Ok72og

Oh, childhood memories!!!

[Cerebus]

Too many songs to chose from!

But there's a few from Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy [Insert Roman Number], Golden Sun, Castlevania, Donkey Kong (Don't judge! They did have great music...) and others I forgot and might or might nor remember.

[MissingName]

Things high on my list, with samples of what makes them awesome:

 - The Silent Hunter Series (The North Sea)
 - The Golden Sun series (Felix's World Map V2)
 - The Vietcong Series (Main Menu 2)
 - XIII (The Sanctuary)
 - The Digital Devil Series (Sahasrara)
 - Cave Story (Scorching Back)
 - Almost the entire damn Brawl soundtrack.  Do I really need to give an example?

[Cerebus]

Oh, I forgot!

Musics from The Legend of Zelda games.

Like... Ballad of the Wind Fish! (From Link's Awakening, since Majora's Mask's sucks)

[Natako]

Windwaker, too. Dragon Roost Island, foo'!

[Cerebus]

Oh, yeah! I forgot about this theme, too! Such a calming song...
But Ballad of the Wind Fish really is one of my favourite.

[X_marks_the_ed]

-Ducktales (The Moon, Himilayas, Mines)

-Mother 3 (Fate, Natural Killer Cyborg, Porky's Theme, Porky's Pokies). I don't like Earthbound's soundtrack nearly as much. Kraken of the Sea was good, but nothing else in the game is really memorable to me. (Porky Means Business got old really fast.)

-Gimmick! (Happy Birthday, Aporia). Sunsoft always has a unique style of music in their games. It's half the reason I like Fester's Quest and Batman.

-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Doopliss' Theme, Rawk Hawk's Theme, Shadow Queen: First Fight).

-Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (Adventure Begins, Tank of Neptuna) Adventures Begins popped back into my head. Most of the songs are the same theme, but they're done with enough style each time to not be so repetitive. So, it earned a spot in my PSP for that.

The Pokemon series have started to pick it up with the music, but with the decent music (D/P's Team Galactic Theme, B/W's Gym Leader Battle), there are also some annoying ones (anything played during a legendary battle).

[Archem]

I'm gonna add things as I think of them, likely one at a time.

Kraid theme from Metroid. I basically orgasm whenever I hear that.
